Movies TV Shows
Blockbuster: Season 1 (2022) 23% 2/5 EDIT “The overarching story beats and character relationship developments are just too predictable. However, that's not a jive at the cast at all as the chemistry between the ensemble is at least solid...” – Starburst Nov 8, 2022 Full Review Chainsaw Man: Season 1, Episode 1 (2022) 5/5 EDIT “Chainsaw Man is brutal, gory, funny and mind-blowing - this show has got to be at the top of your list for this season of anime. A rip-roaring debut episode.” – Starburst Oct 10, 2022 Full Review Shining Girls: Season 1 (2022) 84% 4/5 EDIT “Moss and Bell absolute steal the show and, even with the story being a wonderfully concocted slow burn, you simply can't take your eyes off of the screen. ” – Starburst Apr 18, 2022 Full Review Reacher: Season 1 (2022) 92% 5/5 EDIT “From the writing to the acting and direction - Reacher is the perfect adaptation of this beloved character that will keep you enthralled from start to finish, sticks the landing and will leave you wanting more.” – Starburst Feb 14, 2022 Full Review Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness: Season 1 (2021) 55% 3/5 EDIT “An overall disappointment for fans compared to its CG predecessors but far superior to its live-action counterpart.” – Starburst Jul 9, 2021 Full Review Sweet Home: Season 1 (2020) 86% 4/5 EDIT “Sweet Home is a highly enjoyable, extremely gory and bat-shit insane take on the monster/apocalypse horror genre that has plenty of twists and turns and has a much bigger story to tell.” – Starburst Jan 6, 2021 Full Review Fire Force: Season 1 (2019) 9/10 EDIT “Fire Force is easily one of the best anime series of 2019.” – Starburst May 4, 2020 Full Review Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!: Season 1 (2020) 10/10 EDIT “Eizouken! is a triumph, a masterpiece - it's funny, sad, heartwarming and beautiful - and is quintessential viewing for new and old anime fans alike. Absolute perfection.” – Starburst Apr 6, 2020 Full Review How Not to Summon a Demon Lord: Season 1 (2018) 6/10 EDIT “How Not To Summon A Demon Lord possesses great animation but is let down massively with its risque comedy approach and bemusing choice in not having a dedicated antagonist and flat ending.” – Starburst Jan 6, 2020 Full Review Soul Eater: Season 1 (2008) 100% 8/10 EDIT “Maka and her weapon Soul's chemistry bursts onto the screen from the word go and goes from strength to strength throughout the series - their witty back and forth oozes brilliance and their relationship goes on a thrilling rollercoaster ride.” – Starburst Dec 2, 2019 Full Review Gen: Lock: Season 1 (2019) 90% 9/10 EDIT “The Voice talent of this show is simply one of the best ensembles put together in an anime.” – Starburst Oct 29, 2019 Full Review The Haunting of Hill House: Season 1 (2018) 93% 9/10 EDIT “Another achievement of Flanagan's vision is that the series never really feels overbearing or long - each episode is crafted to keep the audience engaged and on their toes with existential dream looming around every corner.” – Starburst Oct 29, 2019 Full Review Undone: Season 1 (2019) 98% 10/10 EDIT “Undone is an absolute masterclass in short, sharp, and precise storytelling with its well-realised characters, incredibly engaging arcs, and stunning visual presentation.” – Starburst Oct 1, 2019 Full Review Stranger Things: Season 3 (2019) 89% 9/10 EDIT “Even though this current adventure is not entirely perfect, with many similar story beats being reused from the previous two seasons, the niggling issues can be forgiven because of the journey that the Duffer Brothers take us on.” – Starburst Jul 1, 2019 Full Review
