The Desk
Who Writes Here
Stream Review is a small editorial team in Mount Sophia, not a contributor network paid by platforms. Each person below describes how they watch before they write. Roles overlap in practice — critics check subtitles; the access editor reads case-coverage drafts — but accountability is named on every published piece.
Roster current August 2026
Editorial team
Yeo Sze Wei
Editor
Yeo sets desk standards and signs off every review before publication. She watches on a calibrated living-room television twice per series — once for case coverage and interview balance, once for subtitle timing — and keeps paper logs because she distrusts cloud notes for sensitive drafts. Yeo began covering factual television after a decade in magazine editing and insists that verdict language remain reversible: if a phrase cannot be justified in a sentence, it does not appear in the ledger. She handles corrections personally and reads every Library review for tone alignment with our independence policy.
Priya Ramanathan
Deputy Editor
Priya schedules viewing rotations so no single critic burns out on difficult material. She duplicates one episode per season on mobile data to compare subtitle delay against fibre playback, then folds findings into access rows without naming devices in reviews. Priya line-edits for British spelling consistency and removes phrasing that could be read as platform favouritism. She co-wrote the investigators and witnesses Library review and maintains the internal style sheet that governs how we refer to cases, testimony and victim treatment.
Marcus Lim Hock Wee
Factual Television Critic
Marcus wrote our flagship review of 狮城奇案之罪案现场 and leads on series where procedure and ethics intersect. He watches with headphones after the first pass on speakers, noting when investigative interviews compress answers unfairly. Marcus refuses screener-only viewing for verdict work; if meWATCH is the public path, meWATCH is his primary screen. He wrote the Season 2 review and investigators and witnesses review, and speaks occasionally at local journalism workshops, always disclosing his desk affiliation and the site's no-scores policy.
Nur Aisyah Rahmat
Access & Subtitles Editor
Nur owns the access and subtitles row in every verdict ledger. She tests captions on television, phone and tablet for three episodes per season minimum, marking timestamps where translation softens legal terms. Nur wrote the bilingual viewing review, and she flags when audio-only cues exclude deaf viewers. She is not a lawyer, but she cross-checks classification labels on meWATCH against Media Development Authority public guidance when viewers ask about family suitability.
Tan Boon Hui
Research Editor
Tan verifies public facts cited in reviews — episode counts, classification strings, platform URLs — and maintains the archive of previous drafts. He watches broadly across locally produced factual series to contextualise whichever title is current, which informs our Singapore factual comparison review without turning assessments into league tables. Tan authored that comparison piece and prepares background memos critics consult when writing about case selection, victim treatment or how local factual series differ in scope.
Clarissa Goh Wen Xin
Contributing Critic
Clarissa joins the desk on assignment for series where case coverage and pacing need a second read. She prefers morning viewing sessions when domestic traffic is quiet, and she logs whether episodes remain followable for viewers catching up one instalment at a time. Clarissa does not attend platform preview events unless travel is self-funded and disclosed. Her paragraphs focus on whether a series respects viewer attention in HDB living rooms and whether each episode earns its runtime against the cases it covers.
