Following last week’s blockbuster episode, season 3 continued to take big risks, this time changing the structure and framing the episode like a classic Tarantino film, following individual characters and watching them eventually overlap, and it works to great success. The story continues to progress nicely and all the characters feel like the are being …

Ever since the BBC released this series, a week ago today, there has been a lot of talk and hype about the show. Often this is a bandwagon thing, but with this show, it is thoroughly deserved. It is a brutally emotional, entirely convincing, strikingly romantic, and stunningly acted look at love and growing up. …
On the face of it, a show where our lead forms a friendship with her boyfriend’s sex doll, based on the true life relationship of Cody Heller and Dan Harmon (writer of Rick and Morty), sounds completely bonkers. In reality, it still absolutely is. However, as the show goes on, you start to accept the …
This is one of those shows that you either like or you don’t. It has a very particular style of humour, a family related farce. I personally really enjoy it. While this season was certainly up and down, probably more so than any of the previous seasons, it was nice to be able to switch …

The main reason this is an obvious comparison is that it features some of the most striking and visceral sound and visuals that …

Peter Kay is a British comedy legend, from his stand-up, to his writing/directing/acting in numerous iconic sitcoms. Kay is only acting here though, with the writing going to Danny Baker, who is reliving his upbringing in London. The show is amusing, with a great theme tune and lead performance from Kay, and some entertaining supporting …
Ricky Gervais is firmly established as a multi-talented entertainer, and has created and started in some of British comedy’s finest works since the turn of the century. However, his Netflix show here is different. It’s funny, of course it is, but not in a laugh out loud and joke filled way, more on a human, …
As my binge watch of the show continues on, it is becoming more obvious to me that this is one of the best comedy casts ever put together. All of the characters are so identifiably singular and absolutely hilarious in their own way, and the whole cast just nail their roles. Julia Louis-Dreyfus continues to …
