Adolescence: Season 1 (2025) 97% EDIT “The show is chillingly effective.” – Mashable Mar 13, 2025 Full Review Bad Sisters: Season 2 (2024) 77% EDIT “Bad Sisters Season 2 is by no means bad, and after a sluggish middle things do pick up again towards the end. But when compared to its first season — and that comparison is inevitable, despite how different the story is — it can't quite measure up.” – Mashable Nov 18, 2024 Full Review Colin from Accounts: Season 2 (2024) 100% EDIT “The show is consistently funny, occasionally moving, and permanently fun to watch, with characters you alternate between groaning at and rooting for. ” – Mashable Sep 27, 2024 Full Review Presumed Innocent: Season 1 (2024) 79% EDIT “The formula is only a formula because it works; the central mystery hooks us in, and the twists keep us guessing. Presumed Innocent is undeniably compelling viewing.” – Mashable Jun 10, 2024 Full Review Baby Reindeer: Season 1 (2024) 99% EDIT “It's messy, thought-provoking, and — like a dream that's difficult to shake — you'll find your mind going back to it long after the credits have rolled.” – Mashable Apr 22, 2024 Full Review The Gentlemen: Season 1 (2024) 75% EDIT “There's not enough story to pack out eight episodes, and what we're left with is a plot that starts to feel increasingly silly (and not in a good way) before fizzling out at the end... The Gentlemen is ultimately style over substance.” – Mashable Mar 1, 2024 Full Review 007: Road to a Million: Season 1 (2023) 40% EDIT “By episode 3, the show had drawn me in like a 007 movie at its best, fusing adventure, mystery, and tension into an irresistibly fun cocktail.” – Mashable Nov 13, 2023 Full Review Happy Valley: Season 3 (2023) 100% EDIT “It's the Happy Valley we know and love, and I'm pleased to report that it's every bit as bleak and brilliant as the first two seasons.” – Mashable May 22, 2023 Full Review Am I Being Unreasonable?: Season 1 (2022) 89% EDIT “A weird mishmash of genres that come together to make a brilliant and disturbing show about family, friendship, and mental health.” – Mashable Apr 11, 2023 Full Review Welcome to Wrexham: Season 1 (2022) 91% EDIT “Welcome to Wrexham is both a thriller and a drama, an action-packed sports doc that delves into the lives affected by the club's ups and downs.” – Mashable Aug 25, 2022 Full Review Bad Sisters: Season 1 (2022) 100% EDIT “Each character is written and performed with nuance and versatility, all likeable in their own ways while flawed in others.” – Mashable Aug 12, 2022 Full Review This Is Going to Hurt: Season 1 (2022) 96% EDIT “One of the show's greatest strengths is the way it delicately balances drama and comedy throughout.” – Mashable Feb 1, 2022 Full Review Elves: Season 1 (2021) 44% EDIT “Like the slightly on-the-nose metaphor for man's interference with nature that's at its heart, it's too obvious where things are going - and the journey there isn't exciting enough.” – Mashable Nov 29, 2021 Full Review Lisey's Story: Season 1 (2021) 52% EDIT “As I've mentioned, these issues start to smooth out in the third and fourth episodes - but the bumpy start may be off-putting to some viewers.” – Mashable Jun 7, 2021 Full Review The Irregulars: Season 1 (2021) 80% EDIT “There's no one big fault with The Irregulars, but rather a number of minor quirks and issues that add up to a slightly patchy overall feel. Some of the monsters are original and creepy, for instance, while others just feel a tad silly.” – Mashable Mar 26, 2021 Full Review Behind Her Eyes: Season 1 (2021) 63% EDIT “This was something I personally enjoyed, as it felt like a new twist on a fairly well-worn theme - but I can also see how it might be off-putting to some viewers.” – Mashable Feb 17, 2021 Full Review
