3/5 | 50% | The Kemps: All True (2020) |
There are some cheeky cameos, with Danny Mays and Christopher Eccleston among those pushing through the barricades of bad taste, but it's hard to escape the feeling that this is a diamond idea for a sketch stretched almost to breaking point. - Metro (UK)

4/5 | 98% | Hamilton (2020) |
As a musical it's packed with energy but probably one or two show-stopping tunes short of a classic. As a production it's deftly and cleverly constructed - a history lesson that never feels like a lecture. - Metro (UK)

4/5 | 63% | Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (2020) |
Eurovision fans will have a ball spotting the galaxy of Euro-stars who pop up in a Songathon sequence - Pitch Perfect goes multi-national - with former winners Loreen, Conchita Wurst and many more in a mega-hits medley. - Metro (UK)

2/5 | 55% | Back Roads (2018) |
Ultimately, though, Back Roads is unrewarding - like getting an Easter basket filled with lead eggs. - Metro (UK)

3/5 | 92% | Togo (2019) |
While this true story of a husky tested to his limits in 1925 Alaska does push some of the same emotional buttons, it never quite packs the same punch. - Metro (UK)

3/5 | 70% | Stargirl (2020) |
The fortune cookie philosophy - be yourself - is pure Disney. - Metro (UK)

2/5 | No Score Yet | Taking Control: The Dominic Cummings Story (2020) |
It was a missed opportunity; Taking Control told us a lot about what Dom's done to shape the state of the nation, but not why he did it. - Metro (UK)

3/5 | 71% | The King (2019) |
It's Chalamet who saves the day. An odd but ultimately inspired choice to play a royal English hero, it's his understated pulling power that might just drag you through to The King's battle-weary, bloody end. - Metro (UK)

88% | Frankenstein's Monster's Monster, Frankenstein (2019) |
It's like a particularly camp episode of Who Do You Think You Are? complete with dramatic reconstructions. - Metro (UK)

4/5 | 100% | Care (2018) |
Even in hard-to-watch scenes where she struggled to speak, lashed out violently and wandered the streets as her dementia developed, we glimpsed the humanity of the woman behind the breakdown. - Metro (UK)

5/5 | 80% | Brexit (2019) |
As a TV drama, it has flaws. More background on Cummings would not have gone amiss. But as a lesson in the new politics this is both chilling and compelling. - Metro (UK)

4/5 | 79% | The Child in Time (2018) |
Stephen Campbell Moore brought man-boy Charles to life, maximising minimal screen time to take us back to a state of childlike innocence. - Metro (UK)

86% | Endeavor (2012) |
Endeavour was a spot-on portrayal of a young Inspector Morse and it would be a crime if the trials of the stoic detective were not turned into a series. - Metro (UK)
