Black Mirror Season 7
Alright, who isn’t at least a little bit excited (and terrified) about more Black Mirror? After the last season’s mixed reception, I’m hoping they’ve really nailed the tech-gone-wrong scenarios this time around. I’m keen to see if they can recapture the magic of earlier episodes, or if it’s just going to be more of the same. Either way, I’ll be watching.
You Season 5
Joe Goldberg is back, and honestly, I’m not sure how he keeps getting away with it. Season 5 promises more twists, turns, and probably a whole lot of questionable decisions. I’m expecting:
- A new city, a new identity, and a new obsession.
- Some seriously messed-up internal monologues.
- At least one person figuring out his deal (hopefully).
Weak Hero Class 2
Following on from the success of the first season, Weak Hero Class 2 is back to deliver more action-packed drama. The series continues to explore themes of bullying, friendship, and the challenges of standing up for what’s right. I’m hoping for:

- Deeper character development.
- A satisfying resolution to the ongoing conflicts.

It’s a must-watch for any crime drama fan.
The Haunting of Hill House
If you’re in the mood for something spooky, this is it. This series tells the story of the Crain family, who are haunted by their experiences in Hill House.
