My TV & Film Recommendations

This page is a collection of my personal recommendations for TV shows and films. I’ve organised my picks into categories to make it easier to browse, covering a bit of everything—from light, easy-going entertainment to more serious, thought-provoking titles.

The entertainment landscape has shifted heavily towards streaming and smaller screens. Big budgets still exist, but they’re spread across a smaller slice of the pie. Titles are also regularly removed from platforms, which can make finding legal ways to watch things harder than it should be.

Note: Availability varies by region and platform.

These are shows and films I’ve enjoyed, rewatched, or think are worth checking out. I aim to update this list semi-regularly and keep adding new recommendations over time.
