Jack Whitehall Live: I’m Only Joking (2020) – TV Review
Jack Whitehall is quite a divisive comedian these days, and not in the way you would usually expect. It isn’t because he makes particularly controversial jokes, but simply there is a huge split on people who really like him and people who really don’t. I personally used to be a big fan but in the …

One of the most popular things on TV in recent years has been these shocking and entirely bonkers documentary series’ about real life scandals that seem too bizarre to be true (‘Tiger King’ is a recent example) and ‘McMillions’ is very much in that vein. The series unravels the web that was created when one …
The Other One (2020) – TV Review
‘The Other One’ had its initial pilot in 2017 but it wasn’t until 2020 that we got the full series. But was it worth the wait? Mostly, the answer is no. It’s by no means a bad show, as it has a really talented cast and some occasionally funny moments, but on the whole it …
Mrs. America (2020) – TV Review
This is a fascinating story to tell, with so many famous women all working together and against each other at such a defining point in history, while also allowing the story to sadly mirror the present day in many ways.
