» When Aldis Hodge talks ofreturning to the world of Cross, he doesn't sound like an actor simply reporting back to work but someone reconnecting with something personal.
Descent into darkness

» Hooligan rage, racism, bigotry and gangsterism are hardly confined to one nation -- they are grim realities of modern society across the globe. In recent years, Western cultures in particular have wrestled with the visible resurgence of extremist ideologies and rising fascist sentiments.
Turn on, tune out

» There's nothing remotely original about the plot of Netflix's new romantic comedy French Lover. A self-absorbed movie star meets a down-on-her-luck "ordinary" woman who teaches him the true meaning of life.
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

» 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.
Girls gone bad

» 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.
Telling our truth

» Pride in Action 2025 unfolded last week at Lido Connect Hall 2 in Siam Square, gathering prominent voices across various fields to empower and celebrate the LGBTI community under the theme "Together Now, Together Always". From 3pm to early evening, thought leaders, public officials and creatives came together to discuss LGBTI rights, visibility and cultural narratives -- culminating in one of the most emotionally resonant panels of the day.
All too familiar

» 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.
Unravelling family secrets

» 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.
