The Apprentice: Season 20 (2026) 2/5 EDIT “Anyone new to the series might assume that Lord Sugar’s heart is no longer in The Apprentice -- but really, that’s always been the routine. ” – Independent (UK) Feb 5, 2026 Full Review A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: Season 1 (2026) 94% 2/5 EDIT “It’s only in this final spell that A Knight starts to feel more like Game of Thrones; up to then, it feels utterly separate, operating in some sort of bizarre tonal otherworld.” – Independent (UK) Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Taskmaster: Season 19 (2025) EDIT “A series can only stay hot and popular for so long before it starts showing the signs of age...It’s only a matter of time before Taskmaster starts appearing starchy and wan...” – Independent (UK) May 7, 2025 Full Review Kaos: Season 1 (2024) 77% 3/5 EDIT “There's no denying that parts of Kaos are compelling -- stories don't endure for millennia if they aren't, fundamentally, a good old yarn. But the series strains at points under the weight of its arch, high-concept premise.” – Independent (UK) Aug 29, 2024 Full Review House of the Dragon: Season 2, Episode 1 (2024) 4/5 EDIT “Scheming, betrayal, and political game-playing: these are House of the Dragon’s bread and butter, and -- in lieu of the usual sex, which is conspicuously scant for now -- also where most of the spice can be found.” – Independent (UK) Jun 17, 2024 Full Review The Sympathizer: Season 1 (2024) 89% 4/5 EDIT “It would be easy to write off The Sympathizer as being more style than substance. But make no mistake, this is a series that is really about something, that tackles expansive subject matter with clarity and verve.” – Independent (UK) May 28, 2024 Full Review 3 Body Problem: Season 1 (2024) 78% 2/5 EDIT “When a book is deemed “unadaptable”, it is almost interpreted as a challenge. Of course, no book is really unadaptable; the problem is that rendering it on screen will simply be too dull, or confusing. 3 Body Problem is somehow both. ” – Independent (UK) Mar 21, 2024 Full Review Archie: Season 1 (2023) 68% 2/5 EDIT “This isn’t the Cary Grant fans know and love. He doesn’t even sound like the Cary Grant they know. But in tearing down one image, the show never manages to construct a convincing alternative.” – Independent (UK) Nov 28, 2023 Full Review Loki: Season 2 (2023) 82% 2/5 EDIT “More than anything, Loki has started to resemble what it truly is: an ill-advised spinoff in the old tradition. A too-bright spotlight for a side character who was never best suited to lead. A dinner comprising only hors d’oeuvres. ” – Independent (UK) Oct 3, 2023 Full Review Lioness: Season 1 (2023) 54% 2/5 EDIT “That Lioness fails to ever really roar is a shame, given the pedigree of talent before and behind the camera.” – Independent (UK) Jul 24, 2023 Full Review High Desert: Season 1 (2023) 69% EDIT “High Desert strives for the free-flowing zaniness of an acid trip – but can’t quite conjure the accompanying profundity. As an off-beat exploration of grief, addiction, and recovery, though, it’s refreshingly easy to digest.” – Independent (UK) May 18, 2023 Full Review Barry: Season 4 (2023) 96% 5/5 EDIT “As Barry ricochets towards its endpoint, it burns through storylines with an admirable boldness. An obvious antecedent would be the final season of Breaking Bad... But Barry is its own thing -- tonally singular and perennially surprising. ” – Independent (UK) Apr 17, 2023 Full Review The Light in the Hall: Season 1 (2022) 71% 2/5 EDIT “Stretching this mystery over six episodes, however, may not have been the wisest call: creator Regina Moriarty’s series moves at a dour trudge and doesn’t have enough life in its crevices to really sustain any tension.” – Independent (UK) Jan 5, 2023 Full Review Willow: Season 1 (2022) 84% 3/5 EDIT “If you’re one of the diehard fans, there’s every chance this will cast the selfsame spell that worked wonders back in 1988.” – Independent (UK) Nov 30, 2022 Full Review Mike: Season 1 (2022) 41% 3/5 EDIT “Not a knockout, that’s for sure. Call it a respectable loss on points. No biting involved.” – Independent (UK) Sep 8, 2022 Full Review The Suspect: Season 1 (2022) 67% 3/5 EDIT “This is, after all, completely frivolous entertainment. It is the froth that’s been scraped from the surface of other, better crime dramas. God help me, though -- it’s suckered me in.” – Independent (UK) Sep 2, 2022 Full Review Mo: Season 1 (2022) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Fans of Ramy shouldn’t go in simply expecting more of the same, but Mo tells a sharp, funny and often quite moving story that more than deserves to be heard.” – Independent (UK) Aug 25, 2022 Full Review Better Call Saul: Season 6, Episode 13 (2022) 5/5 EDIT “Whether or not you think Saul outshone its predecessor, creators Vince Gilligan, Peter Gould and co crafted a brilliant, compelling and endlessly inventive series that silenced pretty much all doubters. This was true right up to the end.” – Independent (UK) Aug 16, 2022 Full Review The Undeclared War: Season 1 (2022) 68% 2/5 EDIT “Cybercrime, international relations, political tensions, racial politics, mental health -- they’re all thrown into the mix. It’s a shame, therefore, that the end product doesn’t have anything worthwhile to say about pretty much any of them.” – Independent (UK) Jul 1, 2022 Full Review Obi-Wan Kenobi: Season 1, Episode 2 (2022) 4/5 EDIT “Mostly, it’s just enjoyable seeing McGregor return to the role, a character originated by Alec Guinness but one that he has made his own.” – Independent (UK) May 27, 2022 Full Review Obi-Wan Kenobi: Season 1, Episode 1 (2022) 4/5 EDIT “McGregor... adds new dimensions to the character, without losing the old – his dry wit, his unflappable dignity. The Jedi has returned.” – Independent (UK) May 27, 2022 Full Review Better Call Saul: Season 6 (2022) 99% 5/5 EDIT “The devil is in the details, but so is everything else. It's a pleasure to be three steps behind.” – Independent (UK) Apr 21, 2022 Full Review Jimmy Savile: A British Horror Story: Season 1 (2022) 86% 3/5 EDIT “At times, it simply feels too monstrous to be spun into Netflix entertainment. This isn’t a horror story, but a dismal, incomprehensible tragedy.” – Independent (UK) Apr 9, 2022 Full Review After Life: Season 3 (2022) 64% 2/5 EDIT “Monologues about grief and recovery are painfully trite, painfully single-dimensional; it falls short of even syrupy fare like Ted Lasso.” – Independent (UK) Jan 14, 2022 Full Review Hawkeye: Season 1 (2021) 92% 3/5 EDIT “Taken by itself, Hawkeye is a perfectly serviceable action romp. But when there's so many of these things saturating the market, it needs to work a little harder to justify its own existence.” – Independent (UK) Nov 23, 2021 Full Review
