Black Cake (Disney+ – 8 x 60 mins)
Based on Charmaine Wilkerson’s incredible novel from 2022, it’s the story of two estranged siblings who reconnect upon their mother’s death when they discover her hidden past. A wonderful story about how the inheritance of betrayals, secrets, memories, and even names can shape relationships and history. It’s also some of the most sumptuous looking television we’ve seen in a long time.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (Paramount+ – 100 mins)
A film with universal appeal, for both kids and those who are kids at heart. After years of being sheltered from the human world, the Turtle brothers set out to win the hearts of New Yorkers and be accepted as normal teenagers. Their new friend, April O’Neil, helps them take on a mysterious crime syndicate, but they soon get in over their heads when an army of mutants is unleashed upon them.

Choir (Disney+ – 6 x 60 mins)
A few years on from this spectacular performance on America’s Got Talent, this 6-part documentary series follows the kids of the Detroit Youth Choir as they prepare for the performance of a lifetime. Through their eyes, we experience the highs and lows of life growing up in Detroit, navigating the challenges of balancing family, school, and athletics, all while pursuing their dreams of taking their talents to the next level and performing on one of the world’s biggest stages.
Domino Day (BBC – 6 x 60 mins)
Cor, who doesn’t love a British fantasy show. Let alone one about a powerful young witch who is haunted by her need to feed from the energy of others. Fun and a little bit sexy, you’ll quickly fall under it’s spell (#sorrynotsorry).
Our Flag Means Death (BBC – 18 x 30 mins)
With season two finally arriving in the UK today, Monday 5th February at 10pm, we’re finally going to get some answers to the heart-breaking ending of season one. With the show having been recently cancelled, enjoy our beloved gay pirates whilst you still can.
