NEVER HAVE I EVER - SEASON ONE

It's really a bittersweet look at grief, family, culture, and friendship, wrapped in the shiny foil of a teen rom-com.

THE NEST - SEASON ONE

It would be interesting if The Nest was a story of how rich people’s suspicion of the working classes causes them to tear each other apart... But at the moment, it feels as though it might be another morality tale about why not to trust someone from a council estate.

THE SINNER - SEASON ONE

My beef is that no matter how watchable it is -- and it is: slickly shot, nicely edgy ambient score, all manner of unexpected twists and turns -- you do feel a bit sullied and exploited afterwards.

HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER (HTGAWM) - Season Five

Annalise is, and will always be, THAT girl... Though we don't have the answers yet, one thing we can definitely count on is a bloody good season.

END OF THE F**KING WORLD - SEASON ONE
With a certain 'indie' and black comedy tone and a groundbreaking premise, this British series follows in eight brief chapters the odyssey of two young people and their path of personal discovery.

NOUGHTS AND CROSSES - SEASON ONE

This is a series that asks important questions of its white audience, chief among them: what if it was you?
This race-reversal drama will induce hernias in right-wing commentators. Blackman’s story carries a potent message about representation and power structures, so it’s a shame that the dramatised version doesn’t always trust viewers to comprehend it.

OMNISCIENT - SEASON ONE

Omniscient is a well written, compelling and easy to binge show. Feels like a natural extension to George Orwell’s 1984, but there’s a charm and personality here that’s evident and hard to deny. Much like 3%, there’s something very unique here and the potential for a compelling second season is a very promising prospect.

THE GIFT - SEASON ONE

The Gift's reveal isn't worthy of the apprehension it creates, which is chiefly down to three classy performances. Thriller fans may be reasonably sated but The Gift lacks distinct juju.

THE FIVE - SEASON ONE

There is seemingly no better binge than a crime drama; high stakes, gruesome plot developments, and cracking the case all combine to make for a thrilling (and often addictively morbid) viewing experience.

THE BIG NARSTIE SHOW - SEASON ONE

A studio chat show for the social media generation, it was like nothing else on television – mad, funny, anarchic and utterly distinctive. This series is going to be a real treat
