Why Is It Worth Watching?
The Boys are well and truly back in town! As the fourth season of the show continues the absolute rollercoaster of a plot picks right back up where it left us at the end of last season. Having begrudgingly worked together to handle the greater threat that was Soldier Boy, archenemies Butcher (Karl Urban) and Homelander (Antony Starr) are back to bitterly hating each other.
But this time, the drama gets even more shocking with Homelander realising that his current team, The Seven, aren’t half as good as they used to be. That’s when he unexpectedly recruits Sister Sage (known for being the smartest person on the planet) to join them. Things then start to take a sinister turn as her nefarious ideas are put into action.
Meanwhile, despite being on the verge of his demise due to abusing Compound V, Butcher finds himself even more determined to permanently take down Homelander and the rest of the Supes even if it’s the last thing he does. Buckle up as things are about to get even more weird!

The Bear

Need to Know
The Bear is a multiple Emmy-award winning American comedy-drama series. Carmen ‘Carmy’ Anthony Berzatto along with chef Sydney Adamu and the accidentality talented crew at The Beef have somehow managed to transform their hole-in-the-wall restaurant into a fine-dining establishment. But things are far from staying on track as they find themselves facing numerous new challenges.

Creator: Christopher Storer
Cast: Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Lionel Boyce, Liza ColónZayas, Abby Elliott, Matty Matheson

Why Is It Worth Watching?
Returning after the outstanding Season 2 (which I personally consider among the best seasons of a TV show I’ve had the pleasure of viewing), The Bear Season 3 serves up another heaping plate of kitchen drama with a generous side of family dysfunction and several splashes of intensely joyful and distressing moments.
Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) is doing his best to keep his fancy new joint afloat but seems to be slowly unravelling under the immense pressure to keep things running smoothly. Then, on the other hand, his scruffy crew attempt to do their best while fumbling through fine dining like a bunch of bulls in a china shop.
On the surface the show does quite well building up the anxiety with the exceedingly tense scenes that do their best to portray the insanity that occurs behind the doors of a tightly run Michelin-star level restaurant.
But where the show truly shines is its nuance and the raw authentic feel with which it portrays the humanity of its characters, while handling topics like past traumas, personal demons, regrets, hope, love and more.
