CAPITAL - SEASON ONE

Peter Bowker (director) certainly knows how to draw you in, slipping in red herrings as to who the perp is, and drip-feeding the nicer aspects of his characters through the sticky bin juice of greed, right up until the reveal.. Nice work if you can get it.

THE PERFECT COUPLE - SEASON ONE

There are way too many superfluous subplots, digressions, red herrings and narrative dead ends. For much of the series I felt I was treading water… getting in my exercise but going nowhere.

GANGS OF LONDON - SEASON ONE

It strives for a Gomorra-like bleakness... while simultaneously delving into the grotesque ultra-violence that serves no real purpose and completely annihilates any investment in the story.

A CONFESSION - SEASON ONE

All the performances are strong and it is a tactful rendering of the story. It's more of a slow mood piece than a pacy, Broadchurch-style crime drama, but that feels appropriate.

KAOS - SEASON ONE

While Kaos occasionally swings for the fences with its numerous ideas, many of them feel a bit too safe. Conceptually, this world and the separation of realms is fascinating, but it isn’t always handled with something a bit bravier.

SUSPECT - SEASON ONE

While Danny claims he has “nothing to lose” — the script is peppered with such lines — viewers themselves may begin to lose interest as the initial intrigue gives way to a rather uninspired conspiracy yarn.

NIGHTMARE & DAYDREAMS - SEASON ONE

The episodes will likely vary in quality, with some stories being better than others. The creepy hooded cult seems to be a throughline for this series, and it’s certainly something that kept me intrigued. Can't wait for Season Two!

ALTERED CARBON - SEASON ONE

Altered Carbon is a frankly amazing Sci-fi series, full of great twists, characters and stunning imagery.

CURSED - SEASON ONE

Everything about this show just feels lacklustre, poorly developed and budget Game of Thrones. The performances are fine for the most part, but the woeful dialogue they're forced to spout means everyone still comes across a little stilted.

The show has a hard time finding its footing.

THE IMPERFECTS - SEASON ONE

Feels like a long, fun movie, with everything from comedy to ggory scenes with too-red blood, to heartfelt scenes that made me tear up a little. It's brilliant!
