Presumed Innocent: Season 1 (2024) 79% 4/5 EDIT “A rare example of a TV drama which expands significantly on its original source material yet never feels baggy or indulgent, and will keep you guessing every step of the way.” – Empire Magazine Jun 12, 2024 Full Review Curb Your Enthusiasm: Season 12 (2024) 94% 5/5 EDIT “With an array of great guest stars and triumphantly surprising storylines, the final season of Curb is as brilliantly funny and beautifully outrageous as ever.” – Empire Magazine Feb 7, 2024 Full Review Boiling Point: Season 1 (2023) 100% 4/5 EDIT “If the series occasionally feels almost too stressful to enjoy, that’s a testament to just how realistic it is.” – Empire Magazine Oct 4, 2023 Full Review The Morning Show: Season 3 (2023) 75% 4/5 EDIT “No wonder a fourth season of this slick TV newsroom drama has already been confirmed. It makes for hugely pleasurable viewing.” – Empire Magazine Sep 15, 2023 Full Review Lioness: Season 1 (2023) 54% 3/5 EDIT “Despite occasionally stretching plausibility, Taylor Sheridan’s latest event TV series mixes explosive espionage action with domestic issues to mostly absorbing effect.” – Empire Magazine Jul 25, 2023 Full Review Hijack: Season 1 (2023) 90% 4/5 EDIT “An instantly enthralling aeroplane-set thriller which deploys its real-time format to ratchet up the tension to the max, while providing Idris Elba with one of his most satisfying roles so far.” – Empire Magazine Jun 22, 2023 Full Review Yellowjackets: Season 2 (2023) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Yellowjackets continues to be as uniquely gnarly and peculiar as its title sequence with this madly inventive second season, full of thrillingly disturbing developments.” – Empire Magazine Mar 27, 2023 Full Review Lockwood & Co.: Season 1 (2023) 93% 4/5 EDIT “None of this impressive world-building, character development and storytelling would work, though, if it wasn’t for the consistently intelligent, wryly funny dialogue. ” – Empire Magazine Jan 28, 2023 Full Review Servant: Season 4 (2023) 100% 4/5 EDIT “M Night Shyamalan’s darkly funny, deeply twisted TV horror saga confirms its status as one of his greatest achievements.” – Empire Magazine Jan 13, 2023 Full Review Happy Valley: Season 3 (2023) 100% 5/5 EDIT “There’s a grandeur to Sally Wainwright’s conception matched by Lancashire’s role-of-a-lifetime performance which puts Happy Valley way up there in the pantheon of British TV drama achievements.” – Empire Magazine Jan 6, 2023 Full Review 1899: Season 1 (2022) 77% 4/5 EDIT “An intriguing, densely layered puzzle-box mystery that defies easy categorisation but somehow works.” – Empire Magazine Nov 21, 2022 Full Review The English: Season 1 (2022) 84% 5/5 EDIT “A massively ambitious and original take on the Western genre confirming the extraordinary writing and directing skills of TV auteur Hugo Blick, while showcasing one of Emily Blunt’s greatest performances yet.” – Empire Magazine Nov 10, 2022 Full Review The Crown: Season 5 (2022) 71% 4/5 EDIT “Despite a slow start and some occasional missteps, Season 5 of The Crown proves to be as addictive and captivating as ever.” – Empire Magazine Nov 10, 2022 Full Review Rogue Heroes: Season 1 (2022) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Writer Steven Knight brings his A-game to this vividly realised and relentlessly enthralling account of the creation of the SAS.” – Empire Magazine Oct 29, 2022 Full Review Better Call Saul: Season 6 (2022) 99% 5/5 EDIT “Better Call Saul’s steady rise to the giddy heights of all-time classic television drama feels inexorable.” – Empire Magazine Jul 24, 2022 Full Review Slow Horses: Season 1 (2022) 95% 4/5 EDIT “A grimily authentic espionage yarn populated by a bunch of funny, intriguing “losers, misfits and boozers”, as they’re described in the lyrics of the wonderfully atmospheric Mick Jagger theme song.” – Empire Magazine Mar 25, 2022 Full Review Peaky Blinders: Season 6 (2022) 100% 5/5 EDIT “The beginning of the end of one of the great British TV drama achievements of recent years is as movingly intimate, cinematically ambitious and sweepingly epic as ever.” – Empire Magazine Mar 1, 2022 Full Review This Is Going to Hurt: Season 1 (2022) 96% 5/5 EDIT “Mixing tragedy and comedy to stunningly powerful effect, former doctor Adam Kay turns his own experiences into the stuff of TV gold while showing us the stark reality of a routinely under-funded, over-stretched NHS.” – Empire Magazine Feb 9, 2022 Full Review The Witcher: Season 2 (2021) 95% 4/5 EDIT “More accessible than its complicated first season, Netflix's multi-tentacled fantasy builds on a commanding lead performance from Henry Cavill while leaning into its horror elements to increasingly impressive effect.” – Empire Magazine Dec 10, 2021 Full Review Dopesick: Season 1 (2021) 89% 4/5 EDIT “Based on early episodes, Dopesick is a (mostly) sober, compelling and clear dramatisation of one of the most shameful examples of big pharma wrongdoing in recent history, which will have you recoiling in fury.” – Empire Magazine Nov 2, 2021 Full Review Succession: Season 3 (2021) 97% 5/5 EDIT “If Season 2 was a significant step up from the first, this third series is so miraculously funny yet mind-blowingly intense, Succession feels like it's now well on its way to reaching Sopranos, The West Wing, Mad Men-levels of excellence.” – Empire Magazine Oct 11, 2021 Full Review The Morning Show: Season 2 (2021) 67% 4/5 EDIT “This season's MVP, however, is undoubtedly Julianna Margulies, who joins the show as veteran anchor Laura Peterson via a particularly icy on-air interview.” – Empire Magazine Sep 20, 2021 Full Review Halston: Season 1 67% 3/5 EDIT “Despite telling the kind of tormented-creative-genius story we've seen in many a Hollywood biopic, complete with crass moralising about the dangers of an indulgent lifestyle, this latest Ryan Murphy concoction eventually manages to get under the skin.” – Empire Magazine May 14, 2021 Full Review The Pale Horse: Season 1 (2020) 79% 5/5 EDIT “Classic Phelps.” – Empire Magazine Mar 11, 2020 Full Review Criminal: UK: Season 1 (2019) 85% 4/5 EDIT “Criminal has a fascinatingly heightened tone all its own. This is a show that could go places.” – Empire Magazine Dec 9, 2019 Full Review
