SEE - SEASON ONE

As a piece of throwaway fantasy escapism, See offers a diverting off-road adventure, though it is aimed at adults. One imagines it would have been suitable for the family were it not for the unnecessary inclusion of graphic violence. Jason Momoa and Alfre Woodard propel a savage, strangely compelling sci-fi fantasy/drama, set in a dystopian future.

WHO IS ERIN CARTER? - SEASON ONE

The who in Who Is Erin Carter? is less important than the what. The answer to that is: a fun, mindless way to spend seven hours in a sun-baked but grimy Barcelona, careening through plot twists as enjoyably dizzy as the car chases, engaging narrative, despite the fact that her enemies slowly make themselves known throughout and force her to engage in brutal, bloody, fatal clashes.

BOO, BITCH - SEASON ONE

You can almost feel the show trying too hard to be of-the-moment trendy. Often it can feel like when your parents use a slang term that’s passé. It’s nothing but a false depiction of teenagers with gaping plot holes that belittles and mocks the target audience.

PRU - SEASON ONE

Hilarious dialogue from characters in a world we haven’t seen before in sitcoms – all imbued with truth. Fully Focused bring their ethos and emphasis on authenticity and representation of young voices both on and off camera.

INSIDE MAN - SEASON ONE

Tennant, Tucci, and the other cast members are great, but the plot is so absurd that the whole series becomes a lesson in how not to write a story.

LOVE, DEATH & ROBOTS - SEASON THREE

Every aspect of Love, Death + Robots expresses the brilliance of the animators behind this series—the direction, sound, animation art, and design. It showcases an overabundance of immense talent.

MY LIFE WITH THE WALTER BOYS - SEASON ONE


There's nothing quite memorable about My Life With the Walter Boys - not its characters nor its storylines. It's all mediocre; at best.

THE WOODS - SEASON ONE

One of the things I like about these Coben series - and The Woods is no exception - is how well they maintain the mystery without resorting to huge, left-field reveals. The Woods is another solid showing, complete with good performances and an intriguing mystery, but there's a lack of artistic ambition here that keeps it from elevating to the higher tiers of the genre.

MURDER IS EASY - SEASON ONE

What the writer Sian Ejiwunmi-Le Berre has done well here is to create the strange eeriness of an insular community, ostensibly genteel and polite but in other ways hostile. As always, Jonsson does an amazing job at taking on the role -- and the show, despite popular reviews, doesn't focus on his colour or taking a stab at being 'woke', it is just a murder mystery; as it should be.

MAXINE - SEASON ONE

This series is as much about Ian Huntley as it is Maxine Carr so the name of the series is slightly deceptive. What we don't see, and probably rightly so, is Huntley committing the murders in question. Everything else appears to be fair game. The series is a difficult watch and in the UK Channel 5 got a lot of criticism for producing this series. In many ways the murders highlighted not only what was wrong with many institutional bodies at the time but also society itself. It's also a reminder that evil lurks within all of our communities and how easy it can be for those people to stay hidden and slip through the cracks of society. Jemma Carlton and Scott Reid are brilliant in their roles, roles which would've been brave undertakings considering the story matter. A troubling but exceptional drama
