Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model: Season 1 (2026) 100% 3/5 EDIT “This is a mesmerising, icky reckoning with the early 2000s, then, but without much in the way of self-awareness from those at the top.” – Financial Times Feb 17, 2026 Full Review Small Prophets: Season 1 (2026) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Those with an aversion to magical realism may find this turn towards alchemy and metaphysics off-putting, but that would be a shame. The series could easily have taken a whimsical turn, but it resists that, finding something much more open and universal.” – Financial Times Feb 13, 2026 Full Review How to Get to Heaven From Belfast: Season 1 (2026) 91% 4/5 EDIT “While it is cut from a similar cloth to Derry Girls, McGee has rearranged the pieces, turned them upside down, thrown in a few new shapes and then glued it all together with impressive flair. ” – Financial Times Feb 12, 2026 Full Review Love Story: Season 1 (2026) 81% 4/5 EDIT “In essence, it is a US version of The Crown: slick, soapy and easy to devour.” – Financial Times Feb 12, 2026 Full Review Betrayal: Season 1 (2026) 100% 3/5 EDIT “...it’s a serviceable thriller and a stodgy relationship drama, although its leads do their best to elevate the show. But for all the moments of explosive action, the two sides of the story never satisfyingly cohere.” – Financial Times Feb 11, 2026 Full Review Lord of the Flies: Season 1 (2026) 85% 3/5 EDIT “Fittingly, perhaps deliberately, there is a strong sense of disorder and pandemonium. This is a strange beast, then, certainly inventive but not entirely successful.” – Financial Times Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Bridgerton: Season 4 (2026) 80% 3/5 EDIT “If Pride and Prejudice is full-fat cream, then this is skimmed milk. Even so, it is deceptively moreish, and perfectly easy to gulp down in one greedy sitting.” – Financial Times Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Take That: Season 1 (2026) 100% 3/5 EDIT “This is all very watchable but it does lack bite. It is Take That in their own words, and as a result, it gives the illusion of a confessional with only a little of the substance.” – Financial Times Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Wonder Man: Season 1 (2026) 90% 3/5 EDIT “Its comedy is much more gentle and respectful to the medium that it loves. When it does opt for a big superpowered blowout, it almost seems embarrassed that it has felt the need to do so. ” – Financial Times Jan 26, 2026 Full Review The Beauty: Season 1 (2026) 70% 3/5 EDIT “As is often the case with Murphy’s work, it can feel more like a series of aesthetic choices than a coherent story, but at least with The Beauty that feels in keeping with the spirit.” – Financial Times Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Steal: Season 1 (2026) 80% 4/5 EDIT “This is a lean, entertaining, no-fuss thriller, and in Turner, an unlikely new Bruce Willis may just have been born.” – Financial Times Jan 20, 2026 Full Review A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: Season 1 (2026) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Given the levels of blood and gore which permeate even this comparatively light-hearted corner of the Game of Thrones universe, it is a surprise that it is so sweet and heartfelt.” – Financial Times Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Agatha Christie's Seven Dials: Season 1 (2026) 73% 4/5 EDIT “...[Agatha Christie's Seven Dials] is anchored by outstanding performances and a no-frills approach to the story, which, on balance, make for a moreish, witty and perfectly cosy murder mystery.” – Financial Times Jan 16, 2026 Full Review Hijack: Season 2 (2026) 73% 3/5 EDIT “It works in terms of its shock factor, but it also feels a little like being cheated or tricked. Hijack remains routinely entertaining, then, but it has lost its sense of fun. ” – Financial Times Jan 15, 2026 Full Review Industry: Season 4 (2026) 96% 5/5 EDIT “The show retains its operatic squalor as well as its ability to mine near-comically horrific situations for poignancy.” – Financial Times Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Waiting for the Out: Season 1 (2026) 4/5 EDIT “...Waiting for the Out is much more sly and offbeat than most, sidestepping the usual prison tropes and instead revealing a drama that softly and insistently pushes its way under the skin. ” – Financial Times Jan 8, 2026 Full Review Heated Rivalry: Season 1 (2025) 96% 3/5 EDIT “...[Heated Rivalry] offers red-blooded, hot-headed fun, and never stays still for long enough to be boring.” – Financial Times Jan 6, 2026 Full Review The Traitors UK: Season 4 (2026) 100% 4/5 EDIT “It is all extra-paranoid and tetchy, and deliciously so. ” – Financial Times Jan 5, 2026 Full Review The Night Manager: Season 2 (2026) 88% 4/5 EDIT “There is something soothing about The Night Manager’s refusal to bow to current trends. This is simply a very good, very steady, old-fashioned thriller, with a fresh enough glance at its world to lure audiences in once more. ” – Financial Times Jan 2, 2026 Full Review Run Away: Season 1 (2026) 82% 3/5 EDIT “The series twists and turns, often to the point of dizziness. Yet it slides down easily, and the compulsion to stick around and see how it all slots together is hard to resist.” – Financial Times Dec 30, 2025 Full Review The Hunting Wives: Season 1 (2025) 80% 4/5 EDIT “This is a late contender for comedy of the year, and a moreish thriller, all wrapped up in a seductively over-the-top bow.” – Financial Times Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Amadeus: Season 1 (2025) 88% 4/5 EDIT “This is a muscular drama, and a lot of fun, as it carouses its way through big and aptly operatic themes.” – Financial Times Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The End of an Era: Season 1 (2025) 88% 3/5 EDIT “For the most part, the film is a detailed look at the mechanics of a mega-tour. Fans hoping for the candour or intimacy of the 2020 Netflix doc Miss Americana will find Swift at much more of a remove here. ” – Financial Times Dec 17, 2025 Full Review Man Vs Baby: Season 1 (2025) 72% 2/5 EDIT “With a small child involved, there is no room for the gleeful destruction of Man Vs Bee, only for a few weak gags about nappies and serious amounts of product placement.” – Financial Times Dec 11, 2025 Full Review The Abandons: Season 1 (2025) 30% 3/5 EDIT “... in spite of everything, it is horribly compelling. It is like watching a soap opera at its most heightened and unapologetic. ” – Financial Times Dec 4, 2025 Full Review
