Archives: Solo Items

Solo activities like books, TV series or films to enjoy in your own company

Animal

Pascoe has a keen comedic eye on what it means to be a woman. An insightful analysis into the species' other half. I can't recommend this enough.

Lee

I can't wait to catch this account of photojournalist Lee Miller's life. Her war photos are legendary, but her story - from fashion giant Vogue to 1945 Berlin - promises to be exceptional.

Emily in Paris (Season 4)

The Parisian frivolities continue. She still has an outrageous dress sense and, obvs, everything is solved with a well-timed social media post. But will it be Emily in Rome next?

You don’t know me

I love the way this story is told as a series of speeches in court. You can't help feeling sorry for the accused. But did he do it?

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

Tim Burton's sequel is exactly what you'd expect. The humour of the original? Yes. Some of the effect from the 80s? Also yes. Oh, and Monica Bellucci as well. What's not to love?

Bosch: Legacy

Based on the brilliant books, Detective Bosch's adventures spanned 7 seasons. Newly retired but hitting the streets of LA as a private eye, this sequel series is just as stylish and entertaining.

The Tom Ripley series

Tom Ripley's famous through the recent NetFlix series. The books give a glimpse into the mind of an amoral psychopath. Eerie, nail-biting stuff; perfect company as the days get colder.

Alien: Romulus

I loved this nail-biting story! It's a worthy instalment in the Alien saga, and the focus on using practical effects, not CGI, really hammers the horror home.

The Thick of It

Foul-mouthed laugh-out-loud comedy from Armando Iannucci. It's a brilliant look at how politics should (not) be conducted.

Ezra

De Niro's had some flops lately but the heart-wrenching Ezra pulls no punches. With a star turn by Bobby Cannavale, it'll pluck at your heartstrings.
