A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a prequel to Game of Thrones (2011–2019), it is the third television series in Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire franchise and is an adaptation of the Tales of Dunk and Egg series of novellas, beginning with The Hedge Knight.
Starring Peter Claffey as Ser Duncan "Dunk" the Tall, the titular hedge knight, and Dexter Sol Ansell as his squire Aegon "Egg" Targaryen.
The shorter, GOT series commenced last month, consisting of just six episodes. Most under 31 minutes! Gold. Very different to those long, dark GOT episodes. Particularly towards the end of it's run.
Last November, ahead of the first season premiere, the series was renewed for a second season, which will be based on The Sworn Sword and is expected to be released in 2027.
We will see if it does indeed stream on HBO Max next year. Usually HBO shows have been one year on, one year off.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has been paired with Industry's wild fourth season.
This has been a strong open to the year for HBO.
If you didn't watch the finale last night, do not read ahead for a bit of a much ado about nothing episode.
Co-workers have told me they found this series boring. It definitely was a little less action packed than House of Dragon or the OG, GOT.
Lyonel invites Dunk to move to Storm's End, but Dunk believes that he brings only bad luck. Baelor's body is cremated at his funeral.
Dunk finds Valarr, who questions why his father was killed, but Dunk was spared. Raymun reveals that he has married the pregnant prostitute Rowan.
Maekar informs Dunk that Aerion will spend time in the Free Cities to atone. He laments that Baelor would have been a good king and invites Dunk to live in Summerhall, where Egg can be his squire. Dunk declines, which Egg overhears.
In a flashback, Dunk asks Arlan why he was never knighted, but does not receive an answer. In the present, Daeron tells Dunk that he should mentor Egg to prevent him from becoming like Aerion.
Egg discovers that his hair is regrowing. He takes a knife to Aerion's bedroom, but Maekar calms him down. Dunk asks Maekar if Egg can squire for him on the road, which Maekar refuses. Raymun buys Sweetfoot back for Dunk, who then gifts her to Raymun.
As Dunk leaves Ashford, Egg arrives, and they depart together. Egg suggests that they travel to Dorne. An angry Maekar later realises that Egg is gone.
The Imposter is an Australian-British co-commissioned drama series for Channel 5 (UK) and Channel 10 (Australia). Which is also now streaming on Paramount+.
Yes I was patient and waited till all four episodes were dropped on Channel 10's streaming service, to avoid their awful Ten Play app.
In the UK, The Imposter aired on 15 December 2025 on Channel 5, whilst in Australia, it aired on 21 December 2025 on Channel 10.
The Imposter focuses on matriarch Helen, played by Jackie Woodburne (Neighbours), who refuses to sell her seaside hotel amid pressure from her three children. When the daughter she gave up for adoption appears, a mystery surrounds Helen's secret.
Helen refuses to sell the family property a seaside motel as pressure from her family and someone claiming to be her daughter shows up the hotel hiding it's secrets from years prior will see everyone pushed to their limits.
Alongside Woodburne, the trashy family soap stars British actor Kym Marsh, everyone's favourite, Dannii Minogue, with Jane Harber, Charlie Clausen, Chi Nguyen, Kabir Singh & Adeline Williams.
So its a decent cast right?
However this is completely trashy like previous Aussie/UK co-productions on Ten. Riptide and Heat, came before this, but all had a UK star, some local talent, but never a bad wig that Helen (Woodburne) had to endure across, murder, sex, scheming and Don Hany with his shirt off from time to time.
I did enjoy this easy, breezy watch which my dad thought was one of my mums rom coms when he walked in on me watching this. lol
This is no doubt not going to win a single AACTA award next year, however if you like light entertainment, this sure beats MAFS. And yes I did watch MAFS last night. Fucking terrible bro.
Crime 101 has received a solid Rotten Tomatoes score of 88% thus far.
Starring local Aussie legend, Chris Hemsworth, and an all-star cast, including, Mark Ruffalo, Barry Keoghan, Halle Berry, Monica Barbaro, Corey Hawkins, Jennifer Jason Leigh, & Nick Nolte.
The film is based on the 2020 novella Crime 101 by Don Winslow. Following positive reviews from critics, the film has currently grossed $32 million worldwide on a budget of $90 million.
I throughly enjoyed this Friday evening session. The session was near full, the film is generating buzz. The cast incredible! Fresh from Task, Mark Ruffalo is excellent, whilst it's refreshing to see Halle Berry back on the big screen!
Really happy to see Saltburn's Barry Keoghan as an unhinged villain.
LA crime is full on. This heist film builds tension and blurs the lines of good and bad.
I was super pumped I caught this excellent film at the cinema. This was really good storytelling, just a little long at 140 minutes.
If you like twisted thrillers with twists and turns. Get into Crime 101 before it leaves the cinema.
Until next time, which may be Scream 7. I booked my tickets today lol.
Plus loads of TV next week. Crime 101 rates a solid 4 stars.

Tell Me Lies the series based on the 2018 novel of the same name by Carola Lovering, has now concluded.
The Hulu series starring Grace Van Patten, Jackson White, Catherine Missal, Spencer House, Sonia Mena, Branden Cook, Benjamin Wadsworth, Alicia Crowder, & Tom Ellis.
Ahead of the final episode, it was announced this was set to be the series finale. I feel Hulu did the right thing by ending this toxic relationship series.
It was getting a bit same-same and Lucy, OMG! But Stephen, why was he so toxic ALL the gosh damn time.
This show at times (whilst popular) was hard to watch. It was a bit much. I am so not the target demo, but the examination in Lucy and Stephens relationship over eight insane years, was a lot!
Scroll down if you have concluded this series on Disney+.
The final episode opens in 2015 still at Bree and Evan's wedding with Bree smoking outside and accidentally gets caught smoking a cigarette by Wrigley who was staying over at Evan's house.

The episode flashes back to 2009 to seeing Lucy unexpectedly runs into Diana where she reveals that Stephen gave her the tape, which Diane reveals as strange as that's not Stephen nature and also reveals that she believed her about the night of Macy's death.

To make matters worse, Mary believed their story, thinking Bree was the troubled one in the problem. As the two exit the meeting, Bree effectively ends her relationship with Mary right then and there as she didn't feel supported by her.

The next day, Lucy goes over to Bree and Pippa's dorm to find out only Pippa was there alone, and the two resolve their differences with the whole Chris situation. However, the peace is short-lived as Pippa reveals she and been cheating on Wrigley and in the same comfort Lucy reveals that she and Evan slept together after the Hawaiian party last year. Pippa, however, was furious at her decision and chastised her right then and there, calling her pathetic. She promises to not tell Bree, but then effectively ends their friendship right then and there.
The episode next transitions to Wrigley trying to get ahold of Bree to try and connect with her, but is interrupted by Pippa who reveals to him about the cheating and that she's gay. Fortunately, Wrigley was accepting of it and the two decided to remain friends. In that same conversation, Pippa reveals how Stephen is a monster and reveals how he was the one who sent Diana's nudes picture to her parents, forcing Wrigley to grapple with Stephen's actions.
The episode then moves to see Lucy in class only to see a videotape she and Stephen recorded had been posted online for the whole world to see. She confronted Stephen once she spotted him, which he adamantly denied. Due to the tape release, all her friends began to shut her out, including Alex, who hinted at past sexual abuse in the past at his previous foster home. Alex soon ends their little arrangement and sends her away. However, little did Lucy know that Bree was sleeping over in his apartment, where the two had a intense conversation where he reveals that she shouldn't have been so trusting. Lucy decided to shut herself into her dorm, shutting her out from the outside world.
The next day, as Pippa begins to feel guilty for Lucy's action, Pippa reveals to Bree that she was the girl Chris sexually assaulted last semester. This confession forced Bree to mot be mad at Lucy, who was living in a mess and was forced to visit the dean. While at the dean, the dean decides to expel Lucy over the false accusation, which meant she couldn't go on the study abroad program for her junior year.
Elsewhere, Wrigley and Stephen have lunch with one another where Stephen reveals his true colours to Wrigley where he reveals how Lucy should suffer the consequences of her action, which in turn made Wrigley reveal everything to the board of admission of Yale university who later in the episode rescinded Stephen's acceptance into their law program.

Stephen is drinking watching them, while Lydia is ready to go due to the fact that it's 3 in the morning and that she doesn't leave him as she knows he would keep giving Lucy a look.
Stephen ends everything right then and there with their relationship, claiming that they were only together to get a rise out of Lucy and reveals they had sex that morning of the wedding. It anger Lydia who dumps him and breaks off their engagement right there on the spot.
Meanwhile, as Wrigley and Pippa take pictures, it's learned that with Stephen not be able to go to Yale, Diana was able to attend without having to worry about him attending. As the wedding is coming to a close, Bree returns back to the table to where she runs into Stephen where the two have an intense conversation over why she was so calm after learning about Lucy and Evan sleeping together, and it didn't take long for him to connect the dots to realise that Bree was the one who released the video of Lucy's confession as it's revealed that she was angry over learning that Evan and Lucy slept with one another.
As the MC announces the wedding is over with one more song, Stephen steals the mic to reveal everything that Bree was behind Lucy's downfall, not him as she knew about her and Evan's night freshmen year, that Stephen and Lucy had sex the morning of the wedding, and also that Wrigley and Bree had been leading a secret affair for months before the wedding.
Chaos erupts after this reveal with Evan yelling Wrigley and almost killing Stephen which ends with him crushing his own wedding cake. In the end, Diana and Pippa leave, finally escaping the chaos that is their friends.

Bree takes a look Wrigley who's still get yelled at Evan and is smiling, confirming they are finally able to get together with one another.
The episode transitions to find Lucy and Stephen having a heart to heart where he manages to get her into the car and drives well into the night and stops at a gas station where she goes into the convenience store to get coffees, only to come out to find Stephen had left her there alone with her purse.
However, instead of being sad that he tricked her again, she lets out a laugh, knowing that he's still the same guy from college. Lucy just stands there just as the series ends there.
Oh the drama. Farewell to another college girl TV series. Huge return to TV week next week, as network TV is back. 9-1-1(s), DMV, Fire/Sheriff Country, Animal Control and the new one Memory of a Serial Killer. Which isn't half bad and streams on Stan.
Whistle is yet another supernatural/horror directed by Corin Hardy.
Starring Dafne Keen, Sophie Nélisse, Sky Yang, Jhaleil Swaby, Ali Skovbye, Percy Hynes White, Michelle Fairley & Nick Frost.
Whistle follows a group of students who find an Aztec Death Whistle and discover that the sound it emits will summon their future deaths to hunt them down.
As the body count rises, the friends investigate the origins of the deadly artefact in a desperate effort to stop the horrifying chain of events that they have set in motion.
It's mildly gory, a few jump scares, but not too hectic.
Whistle premiered at Fantastic Fest last September 2025, whilst being released in the cinemas across the USA, UK, Australia & Ireland this month.
I didn't mind this. With a good looking cast, it was no Aussie smash hit Talk to Me, but it did showcase our deaths coming for us early if we were silly enough to blow a nasty ass whistle.
Horror is still one of the top genres at the cinema.
Look this won't win any awards or make my end of year best of lists, but it was a wee bit of fun.
Until next time at the cinema, Whistle gets a solid pass of 2.5 Stars. Maybe 2.75 Stars if we want to be technical.
Set in present-day suburbia, The ‘Burbs follows a young couple returning to the husband’s childhood home. Their world is upended when new neighbours move in next door, bringing old secrets of the cul-de-sac to light, and new deadly threats shatter the illusion of their quiet little neighbourhood.
The 'Burbs is an American comedy television series created by Celeste Hughey for Peacock. Streaming in Australia on Binge. Landing earlier this month.
The 'Burbs is an adaptation of the 1989 film of the same name and stars Keke Palmer and Jack Whitehall.
Old secrets resurface when a newly married couple relocate to the suburban neighbourhood of the husband's youth.
Alongside Palmer & Jack Whitehall, Paula Pell, Julia Duffy, Mark Proksch, Kapil Talwalkar, Haley Joel Osment, RJ Cyler, Justin Kirk, Max Carver, Erica Dasher, Georgia Leva, Kathleen Kenny & Wendy Schaal, who had a role in the 1989 film, all appear in the series.
So I thought this could have been a miniseries, however the ending... It leaves The 'Burbs wide open for a second run.
Will I tune in? Probably...
Keke Palmer is great as a new mum to the suburbs. I never saw the OG 80's film, however I was keen for this little comedy/thriller.
There hasn't been a load on Binge of late (with Wentworth looking a little while away) so I got stuck into this over 48 hours.
Also with the Winter Olympics a number of my week to wee shows had vanished from my dance card.
There is no news on a second season at the time of the post, however I think this one could crack a second season. Peacock has a number of series on the way. Ted season two (Binge too), The Miniature Wife (which will stream on Stan) and the horror one I am looking forward to, Crystal Lake.
Binge also released The Copenhagen Test late. Landing on Monday, this series was originally released overseas over the holiday period. Simu Lu I will be watching!
Right, back to The 'Burbs . It's not half bad, it's not the best, but it was a bit of fun. There was some good one liners.
Recovering after a massive Valentine's weekend, now Lunar New Year, let's head to the cinema for "Wuthering Heights". The Almost Aussie period romantic drama film written and directed by Emerald Fennell and adapted from Emily Brontë's 1847 novel.
Starring Aussies Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi as Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, respectively, alongside Hong Chau, Shazad Latif, Alison Oliver, Martin Clunes, & Ewan Mitchell.
The film received mixed reviews from critics. However what about me?
A bold and original imagining of one of the greatest love stories of all time, Emerald Fennell’s "Wuthering Heights" stars Margot Robbie as Cathy and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff, whose forbidden passion for one another turns from romantic to intoxicating in an epic tale of lust, love and madness.
One other huge win is the film features original songs by Charli XCX. The album was released last Friday. I myself am a huge fan of Charli and Chains of Love. You can stream the album below.
Released perfectly in time for Valentine's, with two of Hollywood (Aussies do it right) also doing fun promo stunts, like turning up to sessions and handing out roses.
I love that!
Period dramas are not usually for me. Meaning I won't be watching Outlander's final season anytime soon. However the costumes and the love story was interesting.
Plus Emerald Fennell's previous films are brilliant. Promising Young Woman and Saltburn anyone?
"Wuthering Heights" will be a hit regardless of what critics say. I enjoyed this, love the Charli XCX collab, it's all a vibe.
Love was really in the air over the weekend, which was a nice change. In a divided world, state right now, we need love. If you need some romance in your life, get to the movies NOW!
