Best Interests: Season 1 (2023) 96% 4/5 EDIT “It is, by some margin, one of Thorne’s best scripts... Coupled with Michael Kellior’s straightforward, uncomplicated direction -- better to accentuate the lead performances -- Best Interests quickly emerges as a clear creative achievement.” – National World Dec 12, 2023 Full Review The Idol: Season 1, Episode 5 (2023) 1/5 EDIT “The Idol builds to a grand anticlimax, demonstrating mainly how hollow Sam Levinson and Abel Tesfaye's take on artistic inspiration always was” – National World Jul 4, 2023 Full Review Hijack: Season 1 (2023) 90% 3/5 EDIT “Hijack makes for an entertaining thriller, if also one that might’ve benefitted from more confidence in its convictions” – National World Jun 30, 2023 Full Review Secret Invasion: Season 1 (2023) 53% 2/5 EDIT “Samuel L. Jackson is impressively committed in Marvel's Secret Invasion, but can't save this politically confused story about violent shapeshifting refugees” – National World Jun 20, 2023 Full Review Black Mirror: Season 6, Episode 3 (2023) 3/5 EDIT “A more mature Black Mirror episode, set in an alternate 1960s space race, provides a remarkable acting showcase for Aaron Paul” – National World Jun 19, 2023 Full Review Black Mirror: Season 6, Episode 4 (2023) 3/5 EDIT “Black Mirror returns to its roots in more ways than one in Mazey Day, an episode that demonstrates how flexible the anthology series can - and perhaps can't - actually be” – National World Jun 19, 2023 Full Review Black Mirror: Season 6, Episode 2 (2023) 7/10 EDIT “With Loch Henry, Black Mirror takes on the true crime industrial complex, framing its media satire through the lens of a horror story” – National World Jun 15, 2023 Full Review Black Mirror: Season 6, Episode 1 (2023) 3/5 EDIT “Black Mirror sets its sights on its own contradictions in 'Joan Is Awful', a fun if directionless season opener from Charlie Brooker” – National World Jun 15, 2023 Full Review The Crowded Room: Season 1 (2023) 33% 2/5 EDIT “The Crowded Room is a lethargic true crime drama that never amounts to more than Tom Holland's latest effort to position himself as a serious actor” – National World Jun 8, 2023 Full Review The Idol: Season 1, Episode 1 (2023) 4/10 EDIT “A poor performance from Abel 'The Weeknd' Tesfaye and obnoxious direction from Euphoria's Sam Levinson distract from Lily-Rose Depp's talents in The Idol” – National World Jun 5, 2023 Full Review The Idol: Season 1 (2023) 19% 4/10 EDIT “A poor performance from Abel 'The Weeknd' Tesfaye and obnoxious direction from Euphoria's Sam Levinson distract from Lily-Rose Depp's genuine talent” – National World Jun 5, 2023 Full Review Ted Lasso: Season 3, Episode 12 (2023) 2/5 EDIT “Sudeikis appeared at times visibly bored by a series that had at one point been his greatest showcase, and in the end it's hard not to feel like Ted Lasso simply dropped the ball.” – National World Jun 1, 2023 Full Review Succession: Season 4, Episode 9 (2023) 9/10 EDIT “Succession's penultimate episode is Kieran Culkin's crowning moment, even if it wasn't Roman Roy's.” – National World May 23, 2023 Full Review Ten Pound Poms: Season 1 (2023) 80% 3/5 EDIT “Faye Marsay and Warren Brown impress in an engaging new drama - particularly so the latter, who gets a much-needed opportunity to show his acting range away from police procedurals” – National World May 16, 2023 Full Review Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story: Season 1 (2023) 94% 8/10 EDIT “A prequel that often proves deeper and more mature than its parent show” – National World May 4, 2023 Full Review Obsession: Season 1 (2023) 25% 1/5 EDIT “Richard Armitage and Charlie Murphy struggle through one of worst scripts ever commissioned by Netflix in Obsession” – National World Apr 14, 2023 Full Review Succession: Season 4, Episode 3 (2023) 9/10 EDIT “Succession rearranges the chessboard, living up to the promise of its title in the best way it could” – National World Apr 11, 2023 Full Review The Power: Season 1 (2023) 76% 2/5 EDIT “Amazon Prime Video's take on The Power proves broader and blunter than Naomi Alderman's original novel, and lacks the essential spark needed to make it work on TV.” – National World Mar 30, 2023 Full Review Succession: Season 4, Episode 1 (2023) 4/5 EDIT “An unusually vulnerable Logan proves more intimidating than ever as Succession starts to wind down” – National World Mar 27, 2023 Full Review Ted Lasso: Season 3 (2023) 81% 7/10 EDIT “Series 3 feels like it’s been written as the final series – there’s something of an air of finality to it, a feeling that it’s building up to a grand conclusion both on and off the pitch.” – National World Mar 10, 2023 Full Review Daisy Jones & the Six: Season 1 (2023) 70% 4/5 EDIT “When they’re together, Daisy and Billy – and, more importantly, Keough and Claflin – are absolutely electric. When they first meet, it isn’t just the moment where the band clicks into place but where the show does too.” – National World Mar 1, 2023 Full Review Happy Valley: Season 3, Episode 6 (2023) 4.5/5 EDIT “Happy Valley has always been a family drama and a crime drama, and its finale made the right choice to emphasise the more compelling of the two, letting the show go out as the best possible version of itself” – National World Feb 6, 2023 Full Review Extraordinary: Season 1 (2023) 100% 9/10 EDIT “Extraordinary lives up to its name - and then some. ” – National World Jan 26, 2023 Full Review Wreck: Season 1 (2022) 69% 7/10 EDIT “Wreck is atmospheric and lively, buoyed by a ship-shape ensemble cast - impressive across the board, really” – National World Jan 12, 2023 Full Review The Last of Us: Season 1 (2023) 96% 4/5 EDIT “Is The Last of Us the best video game adaptation ever? Probably, but that's faint praise - what matters more here is that, as a television drama in and of itself, The Last of Us is a clear and emphatic triumph. ” – National World Jan 11, 2023 Full Review
