Supernatural: Season 3 (2007) 88% 3/5 EDIT “Whilst the show is overloaded with positives from excellent writing to clever referencing, unfortunately, as with all of the shows of the last year, Supernatural suffers at the hands of the writer's strike.” – Den of Geek Feb 7, 2020 Full Review How the Universe Works: Season 2 (2012) EDIT “Viewers are in safe hands with expert input from the likes of Michio Kaku and Stephen Hawking, but the stunning CGI visuals are the real star here.” – Radio Times Jun 29, 2019 Full Review Mission: Impossible: Season 1 (1966) 100% EDIT “With one of the most iconic intros in TV history, Mission: Impossible exploded onto screens in the late 1960s and became one of the most successful spy shows.” – Guardian Dec 7, 2018 Full Review Danger Man: Season 4 (1968) 100% EDIT “While others revelled in intricate plots and cutting-edge gadgetry, Danger Man offered a more realistic take on the spy drama format, with hard work rather than laser beam-spouting timepieces saving the day.” – Guardian Dec 4, 2018 Full Review El Santo: Season 6 (1968) EDIT “It's not only the catchy title sequence that sticks in the mind's eye, Moore too was excellent as Simon Templar, the Robin Hood of small screen spies; a free spirit who'd work on both sides of the law so long as it followed his strict moral compass.” – Guardian Dec 4, 2018 Full Review Angels in America: Season 1 (2003) 91% EDIT “Al Pacino and Meryl Streep lead an outstanding cast in Tony Kushner's epic play about Aids directed for television by Mike Nichols.” – Guardian Aug 14, 2018 Full Review The Corner: Season 1 (2000) 100% EDIT “It's a small slice of the story the same team would go on to tell in The Wire, but one that's every bit as engaging as the critically adored series.” – Guardian Aug 14, 2018 Full Review Roots: Season 1 (1977) 77% EDIT “Roots landed a slew of awards but its lasting legacy is in bringing its unflinching portrayal of American slavery into a nation's living rooms.” – Guardian Aug 14, 2018 Full Review V: Season 1 (1984) 67% EDIT “On the surface it might be a series about giant spaceships and lizard-like alien overlords, but it doesn't take much digging to uncover a parable about the rise of fascism and the second world war.” – Guardian Aug 14, 2018 Full Review Band of Brothers: Season 1 (2001) 94% EDIT “Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks's miniseries is one of the best shows ever to grace the small screen.” – Guardian Aug 14, 2018 Full Review Angel: Season 1 (1999) 91% EDIT “Dark, brooding and altogether more menacing than the original on which the character cut his fangs, it was a welcome addition to Joss Whedon's cult canon.” – Guardian Jun 26, 2018 Full Review Lewis: Season 1 (2006) EDIT “But like its titular character, Lewis has successfully stepped out of the shadow of its predecessor and is not only a fitting tribute, but an enjoyable show in its own right.” – Guardian Jun 26, 2018 Full Review Battlestar Galactica: Season 4 (2008) 92% EDIT “The thing with shows such as BSG and the brilliant cop drama The Wire is that they set the bar so high in terms of sheer entertainment, that it is almost impossible for them to consistently deliver the levels of excellence we've greedily come to expect.” – Den of Geek Oct 12, 2017 Full Review Sherlock: Season 3, Episode 1 (2014) 4/5 EDIT “Yes, it misses a few beats, but despite its flaws the season-three opener is breezy, kinetic, and every bit as intelligent as its forebears. It's a slow start, but now that Sherlock has found its scent, the game is most definitely afoot.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Feb 21, 2017 Full Review Sherlock: Season 3, Episode 2 (2014) 4/5 EDIT “All in all, "The Sign of Three" was a zippy, heartfelt upgrade on last week's adventure.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Feb 21, 2017 Full Review Sherlock: Season 3, Episode 3 (2014) 5/5 EDIT “After two good-but-not-brilliant episodes to begin its long-awaited third season, Sherlock returned to peak form for its finale and reminded us why we'll sorely miss the show during what will presumably be a substantial hiatus.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Feb 21, 2017 Full Review Firefly: Season 1 (2002) 77% EDIT “These characters are the heart and soul of the series, the fantastical subject matter merely a backdrop to the whip-smart repartee that's the real star of the show.” – Guardian Oct 28, 2014 Full Review
