Does GMA Network’s Viu original series Slay actually, well, slay? A little bit, perhaps. Based on the first two episodes, the series has no problem setting the stage for what this series is all about. There is a familiarity with many, if not all, of the plot points that are introduced in these opening episodes. But there’s also an interesting bit of freshness and a different vibe here that is not typically seen, if ever, in local television. Whether on a streaming series or on linear TV. And as a First Impression, the episodes certainly offer enough to keep you intrigued.

How to have the writing and story maintain the momentum from its strong start and be able to match the obviously meticulous production.
Season 3’s first two episodes certainly give me great hope that the positive trend for His Man will continue. These were a strong two episodes, reminding me of what I enjoyed about the first two seasons and seeing nice possibilities to keep the format fresh.
NBC/Peacock’s breakout reality-competition series The Traitors returned for its second season. And its first three episodes definitely deliver the same fun murder mystery shenanigans as its inaugural season. Maybe even more so.
Thankfully, the first three episodes of season 3 show some interesting new twists that help to refresh what at its core is still a good premise.
Cute. Sweet. Heartwarming. Three words that easily describe the first episode of GMMTV’s Thai adaptation of Cherry Magic (30 ยังซิง). A truly wonderful and thoroughly enjoyable premiere for the much-anticipated series.
When GMMTV announced their 2023 series last November, I was most excited about Dangerous Romance (หัวใจในสายลม). And that’s mostly because its two lead stars were Perth Tanapon Sukumpantanasan and Chimon Wachirawit Ruangwiwat.
