Pole to Pole With Will Smith: Season 1 (2026) 100% EDIT “...the whole show feels like a pilgrimage, or a penance, and Smith is so effortlessly, infinitely likeable that you want him to gain liberation from the experience, even if it is constructed with the slick emotional manipulation of a well-oiled movie.” – Irish Independent Jan 16, 2026 Full Review Say Nothing: Season 1 (2024) 94% EDIT “...it is impossible to watch Say Nothing without being unsettled by its standpoint. It offers an over-simplified version of the conflict in the North – and its portrayal of the Price sisters, and even of Adams himself, is strikingly empathetic.” – Irish Independent Dec 11, 2025 Full Review Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: Season 1 (2022) 98% EDIT “Alas, the dialogue was stilted for the most part and the adventures too perfunctory.” – Irish Independent Oct 21, 2025 Full Review True Haunting: Season 1 (2025) 67% EDIT “What is infuriating about shows like this is that they encourage viewers to believe that paranormal phenomena might be real, without putting in any of the hard work necessary to justify that conclusion. ” – Irish Independent Oct 9, 2025 Full Review Trainwreck: Season 1, Episode 5 (2025) EDIT “As long as no one gets seriously hurt, it is surprisingly good fun to watch other people’s lives descend into utter chaos...” – Irish Independent Jul 17, 2025 Full Review Mix Tape: Season 1 (2025) 50% EDIT “Some viewers will no doubt succumb to Mix Tape’s charms, but I thought it was pretty dreadful. Don’t just take my word for it, though. Tune in to find out how dreadful it is for yourself.” – Irish Independent Jul 17, 2025 Full Review The Couple Next Door: Season 2 (2025) 80% EDIT “It’s trash, but it’s honest trash and there will always be a market for that. You’ll forget it five minutes later, but then that goes for 90pc of shows on TV, so it would be unfair to hold that against it.” – Irish Independent Jul 17, 2025 Full Review Trainwreck: Season 1, Episode 3 (2025) EDIT “Poop Cruise was huge fun as a result, despite the disgusting subject matter, and you couldn't help wishing that RTÉ and the BBC could produce factual content half as entertaining as this.” – Irish Independent Jul 2, 2025 Full Review Long Bright River: Season 1 (2025) 72% EDIT “Long Bright River has an undeniable grim style of its own nonetheless, and Seyfried is a quiet revelation, wholly believable in this uncharacteristic role. ” – Irish Independent May 22, 2025 Full Review Agatha Christie’s Towards Zero : Season 1 (2025) 75% EDIT “There wasn’t a laugh to be had in the whole of Towards Zero. That truly was unforgivable, not to mention a shocking waste of a fine cast, not least Anjelica Huston as Lady Tressilian.” – Irish Independent Mar 20, 2025 Full Review Fair City: Season 35 (2023) EDIT “The spoilsports could have given us at least one character’s tragic demise as a reward for sticking loyally with this nonsense for three-and-a-half decades.” – Irish Independent Sep 19, 2024 Full Review Suspect: Season 2 (2024) 50% EDIT “It really is as mad as a box of frogs. I don’t even know if I like it or hate it, but I did laugh (inappropriately) a lot...” – Irish Independent Aug 8, 2024 Full Review The Jetty: Season 1 (2024) 59% EDIT “The Jetty had a few interesting themes bubbling under the surface about consent and (some) men's interest in teenage girls... But it wasn’t really enough to sustain interest in an otherwise rather humdrum plot.” – Irish Independent Aug 8, 2024 Full Review The Sixth Commandment: Season 1 (2023) 90% EDIT “The tale is only being told because it culminates in a horrible murder, followed by a sensational trial; and if there’s one thing TV loves, it’s horrible murders and sensational trials. The social concerns it raises are mere window dressing.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Jul 26, 2023 Full Review A Spy Among Friends: Season 1 (2022) 88% EDIT “Watching it again confirmed that what I really like about A Spy Among Friends is its slow-burning quality. It is dialogue, rather than action, driven and that means you have to concentrate. That’s something of a lost art these days.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Jul 14, 2023 Full Review Once Upon a Time in Northern Ireland: Season 1 (2023) 90% EDIT “Once Upon A Time In Northern Ireland felt a bit too much in love with its own stylistic quirks.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Jun 1, 2023 Full Review Maryland: Season 1 (2023) 93% EDIT “The central relationship between Rosaline and Becca was explored with such sensitivity that it was a shame in the end that it was all over in just three episodes, shown over consecutive nights, rather than being teased out at greater length.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Jun 1, 2023 Full Review Great Expectations: Season 1 (2023) 41% EDIT “Mainly, I found myself wondering why the BBC keeps retelling the same old stories, especially so soon after the last one? There are so many contemporary dramas they could be making instead.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Apr 14, 2023 Full Review Blue Lights: Season 1 (2023) 91% EDIT “Blue Lights is an unexpectedly tense and engaging addition to the increasingly long list of police dramas on TV.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Apr 14, 2023 Full Review We Need to Talk About Cosby: Season 1 (2022) 99% EDIT “This nasty saga was brilliantly told by fellow stand-up, W Kamau Bell, who grew up idolising Cosby.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Mar 15, 2023 Full Review The Dry: Season 1 (2022) 100% EDIT “The Dry jumps seamlessly from serious moments surrounding the death of the granny to ridiculous and petty rows within the family, but it’s the relationship between the sisters which provides the show with its best moments.” – Irish Independent Mar 3, 2023 Full Review Smother: Season 3 (2023) EDIT “It’s just a bit generic, that’s all. made here seems simply to be an echo of things being done elsewhere.” – Irish Independent Feb 9, 2023 Full Review The English: Season 1 (2022) 84% EDIT “Big names, all. Clearly, this is no ordinary production. Stylistically, The English is strikingly filmic too. The landscapes are huge, and the tale itself feels epic.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Nov 18, 2022 Full Review Angels of the North: Season 4 (2022) EDIT “It’s not entirely terrible, and I wish them all the best for the rest of the series. But still, as they say on Dragons’ Den, I’m out.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Oct 21, 2022 Full Review Karen Pirie: Season 1 (2022) 91% EDIT “It’s a solidly made police procedural, but murder mysteries, however good, shouldn’t overstay their welcome.” – Irish Independent Sep 30, 2022 Full Review
