Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: Season 20 (2018) 100% EDIT “It rivals Gunsmoke and its own parent series, Law & Order, as one of the longest-running dramas on US television, and constantly keeps things fresh with a host of gripping storylines.” – London Evening Standard Apr 16, 2020 Full Review The City and The City: Season 1 (2018) 78% EDIT “Despite all the neon and strobe lighting, it doesn't quite electrify. But at least it's smart without crowing about it, and it provides a satisfying level of humour too.” – London Evening Standard Apr 11, 2019 Full Review EDIT “Overall, it's interesting to watch the work that goes on behind the scenes at Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's and Aldi as they fight a quietly cut-throat war to attract regular, weekly shoppers.” – London Evening Standard Apr 11, 2019 Full Review Mums Make Porn: Season 1 (2019) 78% EDIT “Mums Make Porn is probably not going to be responsible for a revolution in the industry. But by presenting this group of women and their stances on sex and self-pleasure, it could start a few interesting conversations.” – London Evening Standard Mar 27, 2019 Full Review The Bay: Season 1 (2019) 80% EDIT “All in all, a decent drama worth getting embroiled in -- but it doesn't grip like it could.” – London Evening Standard Mar 21, 2019 Full Review Gone: Season 1 (2017) 3/5 EDIT “Noth, then, is merging his career bests: solving crimes like in his Law & Order days and emotionally manipulating the blonde heroine à la Sex and the City. For the most part, though, he hasn't got much to do.” – London Evening Standard Mar 13, 2019 Full Review MotherFatherSon: Season 1 (2019) 50% 2/5 EDIT “The first episode was tense and interesting, if overwrought. Now, I fear it has run out of steam.” – London Evening Standard Mar 7, 2019 Full Review MasterChef UK: Season 15 (2019) 3/5 EDIT “it's easy to start wondering if it's all got a bit samey. But, like a dish you have cooked so many times that you could do it with your eyes closed, that may be part of its charm.” – London Evening Standard Feb 28, 2019 Full Review 3/5 EDIT “It is charming, and perfectly pleasant to watch, but Margolyes is solely responsible for making it at all interesting.” – London Evening Standard Feb 14, 2019 Full Review Das Boot: Season 1 (2018) 85% 4/5 EDIT “The script is clever, the suspense well-crafted, and, most effectively, there's a new recruit in Vicky Krieps.” – London Evening Standard Feb 6, 2019 Full Review Pure: Season 1 (2019) 82% EDIT “There is something missing: there are no standout laughs or particularly moving moments of emotion, so this first episode doesn't quite captivate.” – London Evening Standard Feb 4, 2019 Full Review Titans: Season 1 (2018) 78% 3/5 EDIT “Titans is enjoyable and watchable, with Anna Diop's portrayal of Koriand'r a highlight. If only she was in charge.” – London Evening Standard Jan 16, 2019 Full Review Cleaning Up: Season 1 (2019) 92% 3/5 EDIT “Smith exhibits the skill that has made her one of this country's favourite actresses, but it is yet another case of how she continues to be typecast in working-class roles.” – London Evening Standard Jan 10, 2019 Full Review The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel: Season 2 (2018) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Brosnahan is luminous and charming, even when her character's decisions verge on the silly.” – London Evening Standard Dec 5, 2018 Full Review Trust: Season 1 (2018) 78% EDIT “Thank God for Donald Sutherland... The depiction of one of the world's most famous kidnapping stories has descended into a barrage of melodrama held back only by the octogenarian star's expert juggling of pain and pleasure.” – London Evening Standard Oct 17, 2018 Full Review The Bisexual: Season 1 (2018) 91% EDIT “As Leila, Desiree Akhavan, is dry, subtle and hugely funny, her light New York accent barely rising above a monotone and yet, somehow, expressing eloquent emotion.” – London Evening Standard Oct 10, 2018 Full Review The Apprentice: Season 14 (2018) 33% EDIT “Perhaps we can blame ennui for the programme's decline, as it has failed to truly evolve since its early days. But, predominantly, it's the change of the real world of work that makes its issues so prominent.” – London Evening Standard Oct 4, 2018 Full Review EDIT “Mrsic is a strong and interesting lead, full of suppressed rage and with a gruff delivery... Rakel Warmlander is fascinating to watch, subtle and enigmatic... It is these performances which give vital urgency to proceedings.” – London Evening Standard Oct 3, 2018 Full Review Bad Move: Season 2 (2018) 33% EDIT “Most of these short scenes of struggle culminate in a vaguely negative putdown from Dee, a shrug or a sigh, and a cut. It's cynical comedy by numbers - and Dee is phoning it in.” – London Evening Standard Sep 21, 2018 Full Review Insatiable: Season 1 (2018) 12% 1/5 EDIT “It's nowhere near as smart as it would need to be to make you forget the problematic set-up: the fat humour is lazy, the depiction of Bob is vaguely homophobic and there are actual fart jokes.” – London Evening Standard Aug 15, 2018 Full Review Hang Ups: Season 1 (2018) 94% EDIT “It is hugely likeable and perfectly decent - but the prospect of making the next appointment isn't exactly tantalising.” – London Evening Standard Aug 9, 2018 Full Review The Real Marigold Hotel: Season 3 (2018) 50% EDIT “The Real Marigold Hotel is solid tea-time television and is a sweet accompaniment to an evening on the sofa. Its cast are relatable, curious and game for new experiences.” – London Evening Standard Aug 2, 2018 Full Review The Bletchley Circle: San Francisco: Season 1 (2018) 31% EDIT “The real question is why they bothered... The dialogue verges on the clumsy, the historical references seem shoe-horned and the departed actors who made up the original cast are very much missed.” – London Evening Standard Jul 30, 2018 Full Review Good Girls: Season 1 (2018) 63% EDIT “Good Girls is smart, funny and impossibly watchable thanks to the excellent cast of three actors at their best.” – London Evening Standard Jul 30, 2018 Full Review Nadiya's Family Favourites: Season 1 (2019) EDIT “Nadiya's Family Favourites is a smart and organic choice to best show her skill: nothing is too complex...” – London Evening Standard Jul 16, 2018 Full Review
