The basic conceit, that a contestant can still win, even if they don’t know the answer, is a fun gimmick for a bit. But, Bullsh*t The Game Show quickly loses its charm after the novelty wears off according to Streaming Wars host Colin Chisholm. Hosted by game show host and stand-up exemplar Howie Mandel, Bullsh*t tries hard to squeeze out a lot from its core idea and it’s fun to guess along as you watch, but there’s not much there beyond the mind games at play.

David Attenborough? Check. Dinosaurs? Check. Stunning visuals? Check. The new nature documentary, Prehistoric Planet, now playing on Apple TV+, has everything a dinosaur nerd needs according to Streaming Wars host Colin Chisholm. Viewers are transported to a different time, made almost freakishly real thanks to beautifully animated and designed creatures that seem like the genuine article. Attenborough’s narration also gives the production a soothing foundation that would allow anyone to enjoy. Have a suggestion for Colin?

Although he hasn’t watched through the original run, Streaming Wars host Colin Chisholm is already a fan of Prime Video’s reboot/resurrection of iconic Canadian sketch comedy The Kids In The Hall. With unhinged, ridiculous sketches, the original cast returns and they go hard into the absurd with their off-the-wall comedy. It’s simply a delight. Now all we need is for Amazon to confirm that more is on the way. Have a suggestion for Colin?

Following an almost 20-year hiatus, the Matrix series has come back in the form of The Matrix Resurrections and Streaming Wars host Colin Chisholm has some complicated feelings about it. Now available on Crave, Resurrections breaks the fourth wall through its subversive, clever writing. But, there is some baggage and clunkiness that can get in the way. What did you think?

Chris Pine understands the assignment in The Contractor, a new action-thriller available on Prime Video, according to Streaming Wars host Colin Chisholm. With hints of Jason Bourne, this straight-to-DVD feeling flick is a refreshing one-off that has some interesting things to say but doesn’t always stick the landing. What did you think?

Streaming Wars host Colin Chisholm admits he can’t help but giggle at the outwardly stupid toilet humour on display in Netflix’s latest comedy series: The Pentaverate.

Star Trek: Picard, which recently finished its second season, hasn’t been a winner for Streaming Wars host Colin Chisholm. Despite a strong start, the second season loses all momentum and plods along in a boring, time travel oriented storyline that doesn’t go anywhere. Have some thoughts of your own?
