Pretty vacant
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 23/01/2026
» As far as cop thrillers go, The Rip checks a lot of familiar boxes. It's gritty, it's propulsive -- at least in theory -- and it clearly wants to position itself as a throwback to those older, morally murky crime dramas about corrupt cops and fractured loyalties.

Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 05/01/2026
» 2025 was a year defined by contradiction in the world of cinema. It was marked by the loss of several influential figures in the entertainment industry, moments that cast a long shadow over the year and reminded us how fragile even the most celebrated creative legacies can be.

Prime Video drama presents mother versus girlfriend showdown
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 19/09/2025
» The story of a mother-in-law clashing with her son's partner -- and the hapless son stuck in the middle -- feels universal. It's a tale many people can recognise, either from personal experience or from watching families around them unravel in similar ways. Prime Video seems particularly fond of this theme lately, frequently pushing dramas about dysfunctional families. This year alone, they've released titles like Better Sister and We Were Liars. Whether or not you'll enjoy their latest entry, The Girlfriend, depends largely on how much patience you have for this type of conflict-driven domestic drama.
Super sexy, sadly superficial
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 29/08/2025
» Once in a while Netflix releases something designed less for art and more for provocation -- content clearly meant to spark chatter and lure viewers in through prudish uproar. Erotic thrillers, however, are a tricky business.
The price of privilege
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 04/07/2025
» In We Were Liars, Prime Video's new YA mystery-drama based on E. Lockhart's bestselling novel, 17-year-old Cadence Sinclair (Emily Alyn Lind) returns to her family's private island after suffering a traumatic brain injury the previous summer. The incident has left her with no memory of what happened and as she searches for answers, she finds herself surrounded by layers of silence, secrets and selective memory from those closest to her -- including her childhood besties, known as "The Liars", and her first love.

» What if you were responsible for a tragedy that changed someone else's life forever? Guilt drives you to leave home, but it follows you, lingering like a shadow.

The Four Seasons: A moving dramedy
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 16/05/2025
» No, this isn't a historical drama about a luxury hotel -- The Four Seasons is a smart, modern adaptation of Alan Alda's 1981 dramedy film of the same name. This eight-episode Netflix miniseries is the brainchild of comedian Tina Fey, who also stars in the show alongside a stellar ensemble that includes Steve Carell, Coleman Domingo, Will Forte, Kerri Kenney and Marco Calvani.
A shaky German thriller
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 09/05/2025
» If you've already watched all the decent action movies on Netflix but still hunger for more, the latest German flick Exterritorial could serve as a temporary solution -- though probably not much more than that.
When the past returns
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 21/04/2025
» I usually have a soft spot for Scandinavian thrillers. Oftentimes, they're so unique and interesting that Hollywood ends up remaking them -- like The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2009) or The Hunt (2012). There's a kind of slow-burning tension and cold realism to them that you don't always get in American shows. However, while that's usually the case, I have to say that The Glass Dome, the new six-episode Netflix series, doesn't quite measure up -- even though it has potential.
