Despite making great use of its limited runtime, Firefly Wedding Episode 2 is overwhelming, incidentally mirroring Satoko’s own overwhelm.

An original story, screenwriter Julia Cox has tapped into something wholly human, devistating and beautiful with Love of Your Life.

The Crow Club Episode 3 did a lot to move Vann and Rakkhun’s story forward, pacing and narrative issues keep it from being as good as it could be.

The Crow Club Episode 2, while focusing on Vann and Rakkhun, shows that seeds far deeper than a simple ghost story are taking root.

The Love Hypothesis hits every mark that it needs to and finds its heart in the respect and care it shows between lovers and friends.

 All The Truth In My Lies revels in its drama and sheer embrace of the messiness that follows whilst its characters figure things out.
