Half Man: Season 1 (2026) 74% 3/5 EDIT “It is well-shot, well-performed and, like Baby Reindeer, gruesomely compelling — but it is also cynical and ferocious, and so relentlessly brutal that it makes Ken Loach look like Michael McIntyre.” – Financial Times Apr 24, 2026 Full Review Hacks: Season 5 (2026) 100% 4/5 EDIT “It is difficult, though, to begrudge the show for embracing its more sentimental impulses at this late stage. And it remains one of the most enjoyable shows on television, less spiky than it was, but warmer in its place.” – Financial Times Apr 22, 2026 Full Review Kevin: Season 1 (2026) 67% 3/5 EDIT “Given the calibre of the cast, there might be expectations that this could be the next BoJack Horseman, an adult animation with a literary soul... It is not nearly as strong or as poignant as either, but nor is it without any charms.  ” – Financial Times Apr 21, 2026 Full Review Mint: Season 1 (2026) 86% 4/5 EDIT “It is easier to admire its aesthetic achievements than it is to root for anyone, with the exception, perhaps, of Arran, sent away from Scotland to London as a child. But its ambition is spirited and stylish. ” – Financial Times Apr 20, 2026 Full Review Margo's Got Money Troubles: Season 1 (2026) 96% 3/5 EDIT “Watching a cast of this calibre is never a chore, but still, there is a lingering sense that there was a bolder show in here, one that has had its shine polished away. ” – Financial Times Apr 15, 2026 Full Review Euphoria: Season 3 (2026) 42% 2/5 EDIT “...Euphoria’s third and final season is not universally terrible: forced, wildly uneven, but not a complete disaster.” – Financial Times Apr 13, 2026 Full Review Twenty Twenty Six: Season 1 (2026) 71% 2/5 EDIT “Today’s audiences may expect more edge; Twenty Twenty Six sits squarely in the centre.” – Financial Times Apr 10, 2026 Full Review Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair: Season 1 (2026) 82% 4/5 EDIT “This is silly stuff, and the show fully embraces that silliness.” – Financial Times Apr 9, 2026 Full Review Big Mistakes: Season 1 (2026) 79% 3/5 EDIT “Big Mistakes is stylish and watchable, yet the mood is inconsistent, and for a show that is so predicated on tension, it is oddly laid back.” – Financial Times Apr 9, 2026 Full Review Babies: Season 1 (2026) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Its theatrical starkness, which leaves plenty of space for silence and stillness, is evocative. The pain that Cullen and Essiedu convey — and both are very good here — is palpable. ” – Financial Times Apr 1, 2026 Full Review The 'Burbs: Season 1 (2026) 78% 3/5 EDIT “It is more goofy than scary, and lacks the chills of the original, but nevertheless, it goes down easily enough.” – Financial Times Apr 1, 2026 Full Review Neighbors: Season 1 (2026) 64% 3/5 EDIT “It is funny, as people in their strangeness often are, but also a bleak indictment of the current state of the US.” – Financial Times Mar 31, 2026 Full Review Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen: Season 1 (2026) 87% 2/5 EDIT “Perhaps it would have made a good film, but over eight episodes, it is stretched too thin, prioritising aesthetics over any sense of a coherent story.” – Financial Times Mar 26, 2026 Full Review BAIT: Season 1 (2026) 95% 3/5 EDIT “Bait’s half-hour episodes are bursting with ideas, but there isn’t quite enough room for all of them to blossom. This makes for a skittish, uneven series, but it remains a fresh, intriguing and auspicious start.” – Financial Times Mar 25, 2026 Full Review The Pitt: Season 2 (2026) 98% 5/5 EDIT “The Pitt is so strong that it shows up the increasingly lazy habits of its TV peers: the assumption that audiences cannot grasp difficult dialogue, the constant exposition and recapping, and a reliance on sudden shocks over depth. ” – Financial Times Mar 23, 2026 Full Review Saturday Night Live UK: Season 1 (2026) 88% 4/5 EDIT “The sketches are mostly funny, often inventive, and it feels less constrained by the pressures of brand recognition than you might imagine. There are early standout performers in Jack Shep and Hammed Animashaun. ” – Financial Times Mar 23, 2026 Full Review Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat: Season 1 (2026) 89% 3/5 EDIT “This lacks the novelty and the peril of the first season. But it retains its silliness and, in doing so, keeps its charm.” – Financial Times Mar 19, 2026 Full Review The Madison: Season 1 (2026) 64% 2/5 EDIT “It is perfectly pleasant to watch the cast...but the series’ antipathy towards the city is clumsily done, and it suffers from a mean-spirited sense of humour. ” – Financial Times Mar 17, 2026 Full Review The Other Bennet Sister: Season 1 (2026) 92% 4/5 EDIT “It is light and fun, with a lot of heart, basking in the warmth of its own candlelit glow.” – Financial Times Mar 16, 2026 Full Review A Woman of Substance: Season 1 (2026) 89% 3/5 EDIT “If you’re going to dip a toe into the reboots and revivals business, it makes sense to swing big. But this brand new 2026 version is still stuck somewhere in the 1980s, and while perfectly watchable...it also feels like a missed opportunity. ” – Financial Times Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Scarpetta: Season 1 (2026) 58% 3/5 EDIT “It is over the top. It is hectic. It is definitely enjoyable, but whether it is any good or not remains as much of a mystery as the whodunnit at its core. ” – Financial Times Mar 11, 2026 Full Review Vladimir: Season 1 (2026) 74% 2/5 EDIT “Vladimir hints at meaty themes, about power, desire and women finding that they are discarded when they are no longer seen as “useful”, but it masks this intriguing discomfort with jauntiness, and in the end waves away any greater depth. ” – Financial Times Mar 5, 2026 Full Review DTF St. Louis: Season 1 (2026) 89% 5/5 EDIT “DTF St Louis is grubby and banal, silly and deadpan, and then Harbour signs along to a camp pop act performing on stage and it becomes all those things at once, with an extra dose of poignancy. It is rare that a show arrives as fully formed as this. ” – Financial Times Mar 3, 2026 Full Review Dirty Business: Season 1 (2026) 100% 5/5 EDIT “Despair is rife at the state of the country’s rivers and seas, made filthy and dangerous by regular sewage spills — and Dirty Business takes an energetic approach to demanding that we pay attention. ” – Financial Times Feb 27, 2026 Full Review The Walsh Sisters: Season 1 (2025) 71% 3/5 EDIT “The resulting drama is soft, gentle, and creeps along at a mesmerisingly slow pace. That is, until the very final moments of each episode, when the plot lurches forward as if hauled by force to a point of sudden urgency. ” – Financial Times Feb 26, 2026 Full Review
