What I think about films, TV and celebs!
When it was announced that Big Little Lies was coming back for a season two, I criticised the idea on Metro.co.uk, saying it was only meant to be one series, as the action covered all of Liane Moriarty‘s book, and there was no real reason for a continued storyline, except for that little detective tease at the very end. I loved the first season and didn’t want a rushed, half-arsed follow-up to ruin it – and that’s generally what we got.
For the longest time, I have been saying I’m ready to quit The Walking Dead but I still haven’t done so. After Andrew Lincoln left us in the most ridiculous way, I was sure I would hate it so much I would quit it then, but I stuck with it, because the time jump filled me with hope and I became invested in Michonne, but now she’s leaving too!
Right now, with the beginning of the last ever season of Game of Thrones, I feel like I’m missing out on, or not getting the hype for, some big cultural event. I feel like I am one of a tiny handful of people who don’t watch it and are not caught up in the excitement for the ending. Here’s how it feels to be left out of the conversation everyone seems to be having.

For a long time now I have been complaining about the quality of The Walking Dead and how I no longer care about what happens. I considered dropping it after the Rick Grimes death fakeout but I still haven’t been able to bring myself to do so – and this week’s episode proved that I’m still into it, more than I actually realised.
Last night the stars hit the red carpet in Los Angeles for yet another awards show – the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards – and here are my top looks!
After season 2 of True Detective well and truly flopped, I was ready to throw in the towel and not bother with any other instalments, but then they announced Mahershala Ali as the lead and that changed everything, so I had to give it a go. And I’m glad I did.
The awards season is well and truly in full swing now. Last night it was the Critics’ Choice Awards and so naturally today’s post is about the red carpet fashion!
Andy Samberg and Sandra Oh, co-hosts of the 2019 Golden Globes
Tonight the 2019 awards season kicks off with the Golden Globes! As usual, here is my predictions piece ahead of the event, showing who I think will win versus who I want to win.
I should say that I have been very behind with TV this past year and so most of my TV choices will be guesses based on what I’ve heard/read. My movie selections will be much more educated predictions!
UPDATE: The winners are highlighted in bold.
Last night, Nicole Kidman came to BAFTA’s London HQ in Piccadilly for their annual A Life in Pictures series – and here’s all the interesting things she had to say.
