The Claudia Winkleman Show: Season 1 (2026) 67% 3/5 EDIT “The show needs a speck of polish, but I do hope the gentler, more intimate feel remains in future episodes, as long as the thing can still be kept on the rails.” – metro.co.uk Mar 17, 2026 Full Review A Woman of Substance: Season 1 (2026) 89% 3/5 EDIT “It’s less surprising once you’ve seen Taylor Bradford’s doorstopper book, which this show doesn’t even wholly adapt. You certainly won’t watch A Woman of Substance and feel tedium creeping up on you.” – metro.co.uk Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model: Season 1 (2026) 87% 3/5 EDIT “There’s nothing more shocking or revelatory here than the scenes from the show itself, which offer a depressing insight into what we were prepared to inflict on people for the sake of entertainment. ” – metro.co.uk Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Love Story: Season 1 (2026) 81% 4/5 EDIT “Clunky metaphors and over-reliance on the Kennedy mythos aside, the 90s escapism and co-star alchemy will warm your heart just in time for it to be broken.” – metro.co.uk Feb 12, 2026 Full Review The Beauty: Season 1 (2026) 72% 1/5 EDIT “Ryan Murphy, you can do better. And we deserve it.” – metro.co.uk Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Hijack: Season 2 (2026) 73% 3/5 EDIT “If the first season of Hijack was the embodiment of a breezy, upbeat ingénue, this second is a dyed-in-the-wool cynic, powered by raw grit and resentment. ” – metro.co.uk Jan 15, 2026 Full Review Man Vs Baby: Season 1 (2025) 72% 3/5 EDIT “The gags are entirely hung on Atkinson’s ineffable Atkinson-ness... Is he wasted on this? Well, yes. But when he can still contort his features in ways it’s impossible not to laugh at, it’s hard to begrudge more Atkinson.” – metro.co.uk Dec 11, 2025 Full Review Down Cemetery Road: Season 1 (2025) 81% 4/5 EDIT “The series has been adapted by Slow Horses writers’ room alum, Morwenna Banks (who is also, epic fun fact, the voice of Peppa forebear Mummy Pig) and gives Thompson in particular a barbed role you won’t tire of seeing. ” – metro.co.uk Oct 30, 2025 Full Review Black Rabbit: Season 1 (2025) 66% 4/5 EDIT “Much like the restaurant at its centre, the miniseries teeters like an irregular Jenga tower. Without this precarious arrangement of pieces, it would not be as watchable as it is.” – metro.co.uk Sep 18, 2025 Full Review Wednesday: Season 2 (2025) 87% 3.5/5 EDIT “The woe-centric second season might not quite have a sophomore slump, but it’s certainly contracted a case of sophomore swell.” – metro.co.uk Sep 3, 2025 Full Review Untamed: Season 1 (2025) 83% 5/5 EDIT “...Untamed at first glance looks like another bog-standard police procedural. But what puts it head and shoulders above any of the crime thrillers Netflix has offered up so far this year...is the inventive setting, with a cast singing in perfect harmony.” – metro.co.uk Jul 17, 2025 Full Review The Institute: Season 1 (2025) 64% 3.5/5 EDIT “...the show looks excellent and has locked in performances. But you can’t help feeling it’s phoned in. ” – metro.co.uk Jul 8, 2025 Full Review We Were Liars: Season 1 (2025) 62% 3.5/5 EDIT “Unlike the best eat-the-rich mysteries, this is painfully lacking in the laughs department and probably takes itself a bit too seriously. But you won't regret sticking around for the final reveal...: it's so bonkers it's beyond the guessing game.” – metro.co.uk Jun 24, 2025 Full Review Rivals: Season 1 (2024) 95% 3/5 EDIT “When the show isn't straying too far from the sex, money and chicanery, it's good soapy fun – albeit with a stonking cliffhanger that might leave you frothing at the mouth...” – Digital Spy Mar 6, 2025 Full Review Mary & George: Season 1 (2024) 94% 4/5 EDIT “The sex of Mary & George, much like the characters themselves, revolves around the pursuit of power, as opposed to sugary romance or sheer titillation. So perhaps think more Game of Thrones than Bridgerton when wading in.” – Digital Spy Apr 10, 2024 Full Review The Gentlemen: Season 1 (2024) 75% 4/5 EDIT “The Gentlemen certainly doesn't reinvent the wheel. It's a prolonged gangster flick drawing on Ritchie's own work as well as a lot of others... What the show does do is showcase Ritchie's savvy filmmaking.” – Digital Spy Apr 10, 2024 Full Review The Tourist: Season 2 (2024) 96% 4/5 EDIT “Under the capable guidance of the Williams brothers, Dornan is a Jason Bourne-style action hero while also capitalising on his very real knack for comedy.” – Digital Spy Jan 25, 2024 Full Review Criminal Record: Season 1 (2024) 90% 5/5 EDIT “If Criminal Record is a three-hander, then London is the third performer and puts in a tour de force shift to meet Jumbo and Capaldi's efforts. Each scene is believably embedded in the British capital, which is beautifully shot... ” – Digital Spy Jan 25, 2024 Full Review Griselda: Season 1 (2024) 86% 4/5 EDIT “Without the Narcos juggernaut as a predecessor, Griselda's flaws would likely feel far more inconsequential. But Vergara's transformation into Griselda Blanco more than merits her induction into the Netflix narco Mount Rushmore...” – Digital Spy Jan 25, 2024 Full Review
