The lone knight
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 24/03/2026
» For over a decade, the world of Westeros has been defined by epic power struggles, ruthless politics and spectacular battles. From the sprawling narrative of Game Of Thrones to the fiery dynastic conflict of House Of The Dragon, George R. R. Martin’s fantasy universe has rarely been small in scale. The latest HBO Max series A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms, however, takes a different path.
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.

» 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.

» The Perfect Neighbor, a new Netflix true crime documentary that premiered at Sundance earlier this year, examines a devastating incident that exposes the fractures of contemporary American life.

» The world's largest English-language book sale is making its much-anticipated return to Bangkok this month, bringing with it more than just discounted titles.

Girls gone bad
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 18/07/2025
» Remember the popular HBO series Girls from over a decade ago? The show was widely recognised for its postfeminist commentary on female sexuality and millennial angst and it ran for a surprisingly long six seasons. To this day, I still don't really understand the rave reviews. I only watched a few episodes here and there, so I won't pretend to be an expert on it, but what I saw never quite resonated with me.
All too familiar
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 27/06/2025
» With the premise of a dysfunctional family in a small coastal town entangled in criminal dealings under the guise of protecting their legacy, The Waterfront, Netflix's new original series, tries to blend slow-burn crime drama with bursts of action and emotional intensity. Across eight episodes, however, the show struggles to distinguish itself from a growing list of similarly themed dramas, despite its efforts to offer gritty realism and familial tension.

» The Better Sister is the kind of show that proves that even with a stellar cast, a gripping premise and polished production, there's no guarantee it will deliver a consistently entertaining experience. That isn't to say the latest Prime Video mystery thriller is a bad series -- far from it -- but it struggles to stand out in a genre already saturated with stronger contenders. We've probably seen a dozen shows that handled similar material with more finesse and momentum.
