Sky One’s new detective comedy, with a Sci-Fi twist, is a solid hit that replies heavily on the talent of its leading men, and they are able to deliver. Stephen Graham is now well established as one of British TV’s finest character actors and has starred in some of the best dramas of recent years, …

Most Dangerous Game (2020) – TV Review
Quibi is seeming more and more like a financial venture that won’t work out, and while that isn’t a great tragedy as I’m not a great fan of the ‘phone only’ streaming service, I am still making the most of my 3 month free trial to watch all of the TV shows on the service …
Brassic Season 2 (2020) – TV Review
The first season of ‘Brassic’ was a surprise smash hit for Sky last year, and following this successful follow up, it is now one of the channel’s flagship shows, and is likely to run for many years. Joseph Gilgun stars as Vinnie, the leader of a group of working class, odd ball thieves. While we …
Killing Eve Season 3 – Are You From Pinner? (Reaction)
Killing Eve has always been about the complicated sexual/murderous relationship between two women; Eve Polastri and Villanelle, and in episode 5 of each season so far the two have had memorable meetings. However, in a smart decision to freshen things up, episode 5 of season 3 is the shows first episode not to feature both …

Jerry Seinfeld: 23 Hours To Kill (2020) – TV Review
Jerry Seinfeld is one of the most famous and successful comedians on the modern era, and he returns to the stand up stage here for a Netflix special. One of Netflix’s most underrated and key aspects is the wide variety of stand up specials, from both then biggest stars in the world, and upcoming stars, …

50 States of Fright (2020) – TV Review
Sam Raimi made his name in the 80/90s as a new kid on the block with exciting horror projects, before conquering the blockbuster genre in the 21st Century, but now he is back, on streaming service Quibi, with a horror anthology series. I like the general idea of the series, but the show never clicked …
Hollywood (2020) – TV Review
I am a huge fan of entertainment about classic Hollywood, and I have also enjoyed some of Ryan Murphy’s work (American Crime Story, Feud, some seasons of American Horror Story) so I was genuinely looking forward to this show. What a disappointment. It is such a lazily written and almost dangerous piece of revisionist history. …
Veep Season 5 (2016) – TV Review
Losing Armando Iannucci as showrunner is enough to send any show off the rails, but instead, this great show just continues to even higher heights. The season is unpredictable, game changing, and completely hilarious. All of the characters get great moments throughout, and the dialogue continues to be the funniest and most outrageous on TV. …
Westworld Season 3: The New World (2020) – TV Review
Westworld is a strange beast of a show. When it first launched, it was heralded as HBOs new Game of Thrones but it was quickly apparent that despite its large budget and scale, this was a very different sort of show. It is packed full of mystery, plot twists, and ‘intellectual’ examinations of the world. …

The Simpsons Season 4 (1992) – TV Review
The Simpsons Season 4 is an incredibly confident and well rounded season of comedy, that is willing to take risks and explore stories it previously wouldn’t have been able to. While I don’t think it is necessarily the shows best season, overall it is the perfect example of the groundbreaking and all encompassing appeal that …
