The Walsh Sisters: Season 1 (2025) 71% 5/5 EDIT “Fans will be happy to learn that though Preissner’s adaptation shifts the action to the 2020s and alters many of Keyes’s original plot lines, her script stays tenderly true to the spirit of the Walsh sisters. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Feb 26, 2026 Full Review Jesy Nelson: Life After Little Mix: Season 1 (2026) 3/5 EDIT “Although it is always grim to hear how the music industry damages vulnerable young people, there is little here that was not covered in the 2019 BBC documentary Jesy Nelson: Odd One Out. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Feb 13, 2026 Full Review FOREVER: Season 1 (2025) 97% 2/5 EDIT “Forever really does feel like it goes on… well… foooor-evaaaah.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) May 10, 2025 Full Review Changing Ends: Season 1 (2023) 100% 3/5 EDIT “There’s a poignant contrast between the softness of the child and the waspishness of the adult, which could have been played up to more powerful effect. But Carr is determined to keep things light. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Aug 27, 2024 Full Review The Lovers: Season 1 (2023) 82% 3/5 EDIT “Gallagher is unblinking in her conflict with the world. She swears at co-workers and has scant regard for O’Hannigan’s niche, Islington celebrity. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Sep 20, 2023 Full Review Obsession: Season 1 (2023) 25% 2/5 EDIT “This new version – chopped awkwardly into four short episodes – opens with all the subtlety of an American daytime soap opera. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Apr 14, 2023 Full Review MILF Manor: Season 1 (2023) 14% 1/5 EDIT “... Toe-curling in all the wrong ways. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Mar 14, 2023 Full Review Red Rose: Season 1 (2022) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Paul and Michael Clarkson have given the series a real, gritty contrast to the fake-pretty app graphics by setting it in their Northern hometown, with its abandoned industrial buildings surrounded by moorland. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Oct 4, 2022 Full Review Dodger: Season 1 (2022) 4/5 EDIT “Dodger is cosy, conversation-provoking family fare. Please, BBC, can we have some more? ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Feb 12, 2022 Full Review Lupin: Season 2 (2021) 96% 4/5 EDIT “Lupin's cliches are irresistibly seductive. This is a show that takes us to Paris, pours us champagne, plays us old chansons and winks as it offers us diamonds.” – Digital Spy Jun 14, 2021 Full Review Out of Her Mind: Season 1 (2020) 4/5 EDIT “I won't spoil it here, but the series ending unpicks all sitcom expectations. After all the punchy cleverness, it drifts into rather strained, Am-Drammy terrain.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Oct 28, 2020 Full Review Dirty Money: Season 2 (2020) 100% 5/5 EDIT “Although I know the world can seem a bleak enough place without sitting down at night to face the hard truths in a docuseries like Dirty Money, I guarantee viewers will emerge feeling more sharply aware of how the systems around us operate.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Mar 13, 2020 Full Review Babies: Season 1 (2020) 75% 3/5 EDIT “Although the whole thing could have been compressed into half the length, perhaps it all moves at the right, soothing, gooey-eyed pace for those whose brains are currently being pureed by newborns.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Feb 24, 2020 Full Review Modern Love: Season 1 (2019) 75% 3/5 EDIT “The acting is terrific throughout, making it hard to resist the urge to snuggle up and have a good sob at all the beautiful people embracing their most beautiful feelings in their beautiful clothes beside their beautiful bookshelves.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Oct 18, 2019 Full Review The Politician: Season 1 (2019) 59% 5/5 EDIT “The crazy thing is that the world of The Politician is no more outrageous than our current politics. At least honest enough to own his sociopathy up front, Murphy gets my vote.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Sep 23, 2019 Full Review Marianne: Season 1 (2019) 100% 3/5 EDIT “I can't yet tell you if Marianne turns out to be classy trick or a clever treat. But I'm looking forward to finding out, from my safe, dry spot behind the sofa.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Sep 17, 2019 Full Review War on Plastic: Season 1 (2020) 100% 4/5 EDIT “The greatest insanity highlighted by the programme was our addiction to bottled water.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jun 17, 2019 Full Review When They See Us: Season 1 (2019) 96% 5/5 EDIT “The emotional weight of Duvernay's respect for the physical and emotional facts settled slowly in your stomach.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) May 30, 2019 Full Review Sex on Trial: Season 1 2/5 EDIT “This documentary opened with Cotto expressing empathy for victims of sexual assault. His job was to find the truth. He said his actions were an established police strategy. He thought he had public trust. I thought, bulls--t.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) May 7, 2019 Full Review Lorena: Season 1 (2019) 82% 4/5 EDIT “The story also fits into the current vogue for documentarising true crime stories that occurred within the living memory of the average On Demand viewer, but before they were given the opportunity to debate the issues on social media.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Feb 14, 2019 Full Review Pure: Season 1 (2019) 82% 4/5 EDIT “It's funny, grotesque and disorientating. And, in 30 minutes, it removes as much stigma as it does clothing.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Feb 4, 2019 Full Review Conversations With a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes: Season 1 (2019) 58% 2/5 EDIT “Berlinger plays with the myth of Bundy as a split personality, cutting bewildered testimonials from those who thought the law student was "the kind of man you wanted your sister to marry".” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jan 25, 2019 Full Review Sex Education: Season 1 (2019) 91% 5/5 EDIT “Twenty-first-century teenagers are going to find real comfort and companionship in these characters, while those of us old enough to have seen those John Hughes movies at the cinema will wish Sex Education had been there for us.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jan 11, 2019 Full Review Cleaning Up: Season 1 (2019) 92% 3/5 EDIT “You can't help rooting for them in the absurd scene where Sam balances on a desk to plants a microphone in the ceiling of the insider dealer's office and cheering as their 50 investment blooms into 500.” – Independent (UK) Jan 10, 2019 Full Review Babies: Their Wonderful World: Season 1 (2018) 67% 3/5 EDIT “It was important to learn that increased exposure to ethnic diversity can erode this inbuilt bias.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Dec 11, 2018 Full Review
