Been on a bit of a tear last week.
The backlog files 1: Sex Education 5/10
Caught up with the final season this previously excellent show, sadly Season 5 (1/10) disappeared up it'sTQIA+ arse never to return.
The only reason to persist to the end was for the conclusion of the Otis and Maeve storyline with passing interest in the other season one characters Adam (and his dad) and Aimee.
Shite.
The backlog files 2: Daredevil: Born Again 9/10
Arguably the best Marvel spin off series were made by Netflix, particularly Jessica Jones and Daredevil.
Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio reprise their roles as Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk, there are cameos from Netflix OGs Deborah Ann Woll and Jon Bernthal who is back as The Punisher, Frank Castle. Disney+ have kept it dark, kept it gritty, and the result is excellent. The season ends on a cliffhanger with a further instalment coming Q1 2026.
The backlog files 3: Ironheart 7/10
Ironheart is pretty standard Marvel fare. The narrative follows Riri Williams as the eponymous Ironheart. First introduced in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, she gets her own show detailing how her life develops after the events of the movie (not well). The show is a one off season so I'd expect her to appear in future MCU movies as we move into Phase 6.
