The Magicians | Sense8 | Cloak & Dagger | June Roundup

June Roundup

This heatwave is boiling my brain. Not sure whether I want to be outside doing stuff or hidden inside watching all the shows I keep missing because I keep going outside.  And there’s been plenty to miss, Cloak & Dagger on Amazon Prime, the Sense8 finally, and the new series of The Magicians.

roundup, defenders, horror, Strike, shadow hunters, legion, cloak & dagger

But still, more to come for July – you’re gonna need to record some stuff if this weather keeps up. Sharp Objects and Stitchers to name a couple.

  • The Magicians Season 3 – 5Star 14th
  • Stan Against Evil Season 2 – Fox 7th
  • Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger – Amazon Prime 8th

Cloak & Dagger

I wasn’t expecting much when I put this on but I’m really enjoying it. It’s got all the subtleties of teenage problems with the added dilemma of having to figure out what on earth your knew power can do and where it comes from. If you haven’t dipped your toes in the water yet, you should definitely give this one a try.

The Magicians

I’m a little bit behind on this series so no spoilers, please. I loved the books and this series looks to be book three brought to life (my favourite).

Luke Cage

Are you a fan of the superheroes on Netflix? Luke cage is the latest to get its second season and it’s, well…interesting. I’m not quite to the end of it yet but I sort of feel a bit lost in this series, it’s not glued together as well as some of the others. But I did hear a rumour (ok, it was on his insta) that one of the stuntmen from John Wick is also in this, so keep your eyes peeled.

If you haven’t been paying attention, I’ve released the first in the Noctisbellum Inc. series which begins my monster universe. Stars is the story of a girl determined to be a famous ghost hunter who ends up in the clutches of monsters. If you get it from Smashwords you can set the price (which means, if you’re tempted but not sure, you can read it for free).
