The Narrow Road to the Deep North: Season 1 (2025) 100% 4/5 EDIT “The series is bound to hit ever harder, and it would take superhuman stamina to consider bingeing it: instead it’ll be one to space out between deep breaths.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Feb 19, 2025 Full Review Steve! (martin) a documentary in 2 pieces: Season 1 (2024) 90% 3/5 EDIT “It may all be a little too much of an average thing.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Mar 26, 2024 Full Review Cabinet of Curiosities: Season 1 (2022) 93% 3/5 EDIT “Netflix feels like the right home for a luridly trashy anthology horror series, and in the better moments of Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities, this hoary formula, beloved of Hammer and Hitchcock, still has some fizz.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Oct 25, 2022 Full Review The English: Season 1 (2022) 84% 4/5 EDIT “The English could venture in almost any direction – geographically, dramatically – and this is precisely why it grabs you, as unpredictable storytelling with a jagged flair for the macabre.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Oct 17, 2022 Full Review We Need to Talk About Cosby: Season 1 (2022) 99% 3/5 EDIT “Bell, however, wants to tell a story that is bigger than Cosby. And the film he has made feels at once excessive and lacking focus.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jan 23, 2022 Full Review Pride: Season 1 (2021) 100% 3/5 EDIT “This FX production has its heart in the right place but its eyes twitchily on the clock. It's a brisk enough proposition, and undemanding enough.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jun 28, 2021 Full Review Loki: Season 1 (2021) 92% 2/5 EDIT “Loki could well improve, now that its arduous task of educating us about multiverses, and glumly explaining Loki to himself, is with any luck behind it. Let's hope so.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jun 8, 2021 Full Review Small Axe: Season 5 (2020) 96% 4/5 EDIT “I was often reminded of Alan Clarke's work for television, with its rambunctious bleakness, its wicked black humour.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Dec 14, 2020 Full Review Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich: Season 1 (2020) 81% 4/5 EDIT “That the authorities did nothing about these allegations for more than two decades is just the first sign in this staggering saga of Epstein's power and influence fending off the arm of the law.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) May 28, 2020 Full Review The Eddy: Season 1 (2020) 69% 2/5 EDIT “It winds up being a hangout series you just don't want to hang out with - isolation purgatory.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) May 8, 2020 Full Review Hillary: Season 1 (2020) 78% 4/5 EDIT “It's as brightly, savvily put together as Burstein's fêted doc about Hollywood producer Robert Evans, The Kid Stays in the Picture (2002), and builds a portrait with as much rueful understanding as the director can muster.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Mar 6, 2020 Full Review The Academy Awards: Season 87 (2015) 26% EDIT “Harris was by no means a terrible presenter... Still, the pre-written material kept letting him down dismally, and he clearly couldn't match the whip-smart timing of someone like Steve Carell in the audience.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Nov 5, 2019 Full Review Leaving Neverland: Season 1 (2019) 98% EDIT “The purity is that it begins and ends with survivor testimony, chillingly credible in its details, from Safechuck and Robson.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Mar 7, 2019 Full Review Garth Marenghi's Darkplace: Season 1 (2004) 87% EDIT “[Matthew] Holness and pals have seen enough rubbish Stephen King adaptations to replicate their cheesy charms, while sending this schlock up with the ruthless panache of true scholars.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Oct 23, 2018 Full Review Black Mirror: Season 1, Episode 3 (2011) EDIT “The best episode to date.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Oct 2, 2018 Full Review Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: Season 1 (2018) 75% 3/5 EDIT “If the idea is to emphasise the menial legwork Ryan is often stuck doing, they cross the line too often into drab. And the show doesn't credit its audience with enough intelligence, or concentration.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Aug 31, 2018 Full Review
