Your Friends & Neighbors: Season 2 (2026) 84% 3/5 EDIT “There’s a lot more packed into this first episode and it’s all fun. But as a satire of the rich and shameless, Your Friends & Neighbours could do with a bit more bite.” – Irish Independent Apr 2, 2026 Full Review Babies: Season 1 (2026) 100% 3/5 EDIT “While Babies...is unlikely to be as divisive as Marriage, its low-key slow-burn style won’t be to everyone’s taste, and it will be difficult viewing for any woman who’s tragically lost a child in pregnancy.” – Irish Independent Apr 1, 2026 Full Review The 'Burbs: Season 1 (2026) 78% 2/5 EDIT “The fleeting appearance, in a photograph, of Tom Hanks is simply a reminder of how much better the film was. This is the most pointless, ill-advised reboot yet.” – Irish Independent Apr 1, 2026 Full Review Boom Box: Beats and Betrayal: Season 1 (2026) 5/5 EDIT “The series’ makers, who built an exact replica of Boom Box, take a brilliantly innovative approach to telling this bizarre story. ” – Irish Independent Apr 1, 2026 Full Review Jo Nesbo's Detective Hole: Season 1 (2026) 93% 4/5 EDIT “This is an altogether tastier kettle of pickled herring than the film. It puts the character – a brilliant, driven, temperamental, introverted loner who struggles with alcoholism and depression – back on the right track.” – Irish Independent Mar 25, 2026 Full Review Imperfect Women: Season 1 (2026) 43% 2/5 EDIT “Based on a novel by Araminta Hall, it’s pulp that yearns to be prestige drama and winds up being nothing more than a glossy, empty, trashy soap opera.” – Irish Independent Mar 19, 2026 Full Review A Woman of Substance: Season 1 (2026) 89% 2/5 EDIT “A Woman of Substance is so cheesy, watching it is like drowning in a giant bowl of fondue.” – Irish Independent Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Hostage: Season 1 (2026) 4/5 EDIT “For Cantlie, the ultimate thrill-seeker, war seems to have been a blast in more ways than one.” – Irish Independent Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Scarpetta: Season 1 (2026) 60% 2/5 EDIT “Scarpetta is an unruly, unwieldy mess. Rather than adapt one novel, showrunner Liz Sarnoff has chosen to lift elements from several books, like a dodgy car dealer stripping different vehicles for parts and then welding them together.” – Irish Independent Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Rooster: Season 1 (2026) 88% 3/5 EDIT “While neither sexy nor steamy...which is not its purpose anyway, it looks like being a far more promising prospect. This is down to its star and co-producer Steve Carell, whose presence in anything is always welcome.” – Irish Independent Mar 9, 2026 Full Review Vladimir: Season 1 (2026) 73% 3/5 EDIT “There’s a lot to enjoy here. Weisz is excellent, as always... But the final two episodes go off the rails completely and the series goes out with a whimper rather than a bang. ” – Irish Independent Mar 9, 2026 Full Review Young Sherlock: Season 1 (2026) 84% 2/5 EDIT “Sherlock Holmes has had countless reinventions. With little flavour of Conan Doyle and far too much of Ritchie, this is the least inventive yet.” – Irish Independent Mar 3, 2026 Full Review DTF St. Louis: Season 1 (2026) 88% EDIT “The story jumps between different points of view and points in time, packing one surprise after another. The series manages to make characters who are at their core pathetic deserving of a little sympathy. A neat trick.” – Irish Independent Mar 3, 2026 Full Review Lord of the Flies: Season 1 (2026) 91% EDIT “[David McKenna is] simply astonishing as the clever, witty, vulnerable and ultimately tragic Piggy... It’s hard to believe this kid had never acted before now.” – Irish Independent Mar 3, 2026 Full Review The Dyers' Caravan Park: Season 1 (2026) 3/5 EDIT “[Danny and Dani Dyer] seem to be about as close as a father and daughter can be. It’s this that makes the series so enjoyable.” – Irish Independent Feb 27, 2026 Full Review The Tony Blair Story: Season 1 (2026) 80% 5/5 EDIT “Waldman digs into Blair’s childhood in an attempt to find out what shaped him. It’s a sometimes elusive task.” – Irish Independent Feb 24, 2026 Full Review Love Story: Season 1 (2026) 81% EDIT “The kitsch and camp that characterise the worst of Murphy’s output is largely absent – possibly because he had no direct involvement in writing or directing it. In its place, though, is something equally as bad: grinding boredom.” – Irish Independent Feb 17, 2026 Full Review How to Get to Heaven From Belfast: Season 1 (2026) 95% 5/5 EDIT “There’s plenty of dark, uniquely Northern Irish humour, as well as sprinklings of madcap farce, a hint of horror and the occasional bit of surrealism... McGee and her co-writer/husband Tobias Beer make the mixture work brilliantly.” – Irish Independent Feb 12, 2026 Full Review Take That: Season 1 (2026) 92% 3/5 EDIT “An often brutally frank and revealing three hours.” – Irish Independent Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy: Season 1 (2025) 96% EDIT “What we have here is a rare thing: a drama about a serial killer that prizes sensitivity over sensationalism and doesn’t leave you feeling in need of a shower.” – Irish Independent Jan 26, 2026 Full Review The Beauty: Season 1 (2026) 72% 1/5 EDIT “Murphy throws everything he can think of at the wall in the hope something sticks, including poor Isabella Rossellini, who really deserves better than this mess of excess.” – Irish Independent Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Agatha Christie's Seven Dials: Season 1 (2026) 70% 3/5 EDIT “The Netflix budget ensures it all looks great, but it’s ultimately a lumpy confection that’s far less fun than it should have been.” – Irish Independent Jan 15, 2026 Full Review Hijack: Season 2 (2026) 73% 4/5 EDIT “Whether it’s on a plane, a train or an e-scooter, Elba’s enormous charisma confidently carries Hijack around its loopier plot bends.” – Irish Independent Jan 14, 2026 Full Review Can You Keep a Secret?: Season 1 (2026) 92% 2/5 EDIT “Can You Keep a Secret? is watery comedy gruel. The few chuckles there are stem from its star’s razor-sharp comic timing. But it’s not enough to sustain a series that, unlike William, really is stone dead on arrival.” – Irish Independent Jan 12, 2026 Full Review Amadeus: Season 1 (2025) 88% EDIT “It’s a solid drama with solid performances by Will Sharpe as Mozart and Paul Bettany as Salieri, but nothing more than that.” – Irish Independent Dec 19, 2025 Full Review
