Love Actually is as heartwarming as it is quotable – the experience of love and joy a permanent staple each and every year.
Too often dry in its narrative construct, audiences will find little emotional investment in The Miracle Club.

In Ozark season 3, the direction, writing, performances and tense, foreboding atmosphere continue to be stellar and highly immersive while these characters continue to grow and evolve for the show’s betterment.

I still fondly remember the day that was subsequently christened the “Miracle on the Hudson”, when it was discovered that a plane successfully landed on the Hudson River after an incident in the air when both engines were destroyed.

There is something so endlessly fascinating about the character of Sherlock Holmes that prevents him from ever becoming boring to audiences, no matter how different Arthur Conan Doyle’s detective creation is to the pop-culture tastes of the time. The source material is so undeniably entertaining that even if it gets revised as an action blockbuster, as seen in Guy Ritchie’s two recent movies, or transplanted into the modern day, on Steven Moffat’s BBC series, it never loses any of its original charm. No matter how unique a new adaptation of the stories may be, Doyle’s stories are so widely revered that nearly every adaptation of them remains faithful to the essence of the characters, even if they may take a few liberties.
