Episode Guide Fk Sh*t Bitch Dk Pu**y Damn Netflix’s History Of Swear Words is an amusing, brief and ultimately underwhelming docu-series diving into the origin for some of our most commonly used curse words.

Birth Mother KBS2’s new 100 episode weekend drama (despite showing up on the episodes as just 1 each hour?) starts with a decent pilot introducing us to all its characters. The premise is interesting already and I can imagine that we will be offered plenty of dramatic moments throughout the months to come.

The Long Con Netflix’s latest Korean drama Hyena is a dramatic and character-driven dive into the world of law and lawyers. With two predominant lawyers going toe to toe with one another, Hyena sets the scene nicely here, peppering in some really stylish shots and editing along the way, but if you’re not into law dramas then this show is unlikely to change your mind. Some of the content feels a little slow here too and Hyena itself looks like it may well be going down the episodic route, with different cases used to diversify the episodes while keeping the tense rivalry between Geum-Ja and Hee-Jae at the centre of it all....

Classical Music Hyena is really starting to settle into its groove now and at the heart of this are the two lead dancers orchestrating the group – Geum Ja and Hee-Jae. Their chemistry is excellent and alongside some slick editing and a lovely dose of backstabbing and power plays, Hyena is a surprisingly engrossing law drama and fast becoming one of the must-watch dramas of the year. In the aftermath of the lawsuit being settled, episode 4 of Hyena begins with Chairman Ha announcing that Issume will continue to represent them....

A Disappointing Horror That Never Fullfils Its Potential Tense, claustrophobic but ultimately a little disappointing, It Comes At Night is a film that starts brightly but slowly fades as the film progresses. Its not that it lacks the atmosphere needed to bring its story to life, quite the opposite – the film is dripping in tension. The issue lies with its plot that never quite hits the right notes to make it a compelling watch or deliver any sort of real scares that justify it being a horror, making it particularly difficult to classify this as one....
