Am I Being Unreasonable?: Season 1 (2022) 89% 4/5 EDIT “The first episode moved at a cracking pace, efficiently establishing the characters and setting the scene for the following five in which we'll learn more of the secret that Nic hides, and the gut-wrenching pain beneath her breezy exterior. ” – The Arts Desk Oct 3, 2022 Full Review Chivalry: Season 1 (2022) 82% 4/5 EDIT “Chivalry takes a refreshing look at gender politics and the rules of modern romance, and while never straying into preachiness it looks at the small hypocrisies most of us indulge in. ” – The Arts Desk Apr 29, 2022 Full Review 4/5 EDIT “I've said before that the magic of The Apprentice is in the choice of the candidates (there's clearly no shortage of deluded peeps out there) and the superb editing.” – The Arts Desk Jan 13, 2022 Full Review Back: Season 2 (2021) 95% 4/5 EDIT “Mitchell and Webb, heading a terrific cast, turn in tip-top performances with a sharp script by Blackwell. Sweary pub regular Geoff (Geoffrey McGivern), meanwhile, effortlessly steals every scene he's in.” – The Arts Desk Aug 2, 2021 Full Review Taskmaster: Season 10 (2020) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Still utterly daft and a joy to watch. But then, when you have a great concept that's well executed, why muck around with it?” – The Arts Desk Oct 19, 2020 Full Review Mandy: Season 1 (2020) 100% 4/5 EDIT “The pace, even for a quarter of an hour, was slow, and the humour often cartoonish. But, crikey, when the laugh-out-loud punchline came -- in the last frame -- it really landed.” – The Arts Desk Aug 20, 2020 Full Review The Other One: Season 1 (2020) 100% 4/5 EDIT “The Other One is funny (often laugh-out-loud so), witty and knowing, and has believable characters writ large but given measured performances by the four leads.” – The Arts Desk Jun 8, 2020 Full Review Space Force: Season 1 (2020) 39% 2/5 EDIT “Money has not been spared on Space Force, giving a pleasing whiff of Dr Strangelove about the show. But seemingly little time or energy has been spent on writing a decent script, still less one with more than the occasional joke.” – The Arts Desk May 29, 2020 Full Review Boy Meets Girl: Season 1 (2009) 33% 5/5 EDIT “Boy Meets Girl is a sweet and thoroughly modern love story, and one with a high laugh quotient.” – The Arts Desk May 22, 2020 Full Review After Life: Season 2 (2020) 79% 3/5 EDIT “As ever with Gervais's work, there are gems among the caustic view of humanity.” – The Arts Desk Apr 27, 2020 Full Review 4/5 EDIT “I must confess that magazine programmes are not usually my cup of tea, but McGovern and her team put together a live hour of upbeat content ("a power hour of positivity") that only the most curmudgeonly could not enjoy.” – The Arts Desk Apr 7, 2020 Full Review Mister Winner: Season 1 (2020) 3/5 EDIT “Early days, and any deficiencies in narrative and the pace of Andrew Chaplin's direction was made up for by Jones, who makes Leslie a warm and likeable character.” – The Arts Desk Mar 27, 2020 Full Review Crashing: Season 1 (2016) 83% 3/5 EDIT “It's no Fresh Meat, nor even a modern-day Friends, but Waller-Bridge has a good ear for a funny line (if not always for believable dialogue), and an acute eye for visual comedy.” – The Arts Desk Mar 24, 2020 Full Review The Trouble With Maggie Cole: Season 1 (2020) 67% 3/5 EDIT “The first episode was a bit of serious drama, a bit of comedy, and possibly also the set-up to a thriller (are any of the offended locals going to do Maggie Cole in?), which suggests it will repay watching till the end.” – The Arts Desk Mar 6, 2020 Full Review The Murders at White House Farm: Season 1 (2020) 83% 4/5 EDIT “Fox is excellent as Bamber, capturing the arrogance that led him to believe he could get away with the murders, while Bonas is terrific as the vulnerable and heavily medicated Sheila.” – The Arts Desk Jan 10, 2020 Full Review 5/5 EDIT “The big surprise at the end was a tearjerker. It was a cliffhanger, too, which I sincerely hope suggests the gang may come back for another special - or even, fingers crossed, another series.” – The Arts Desk Dec 31, 2019 Full Review The Capture: Season 1 (2019) 92% 4/5 EDIT “It's already gripping and I'll tune in next week as Carey searches for the victim.” – The Arts Desk Sep 4, 2019 Full Review 3/5 EDIT “I can't be cynical about Sink or Swim...The problem with SOS is that there's no real tension or conflict.” – The Arts Desk Aug 29, 2019 Full Review The Affair: Season 5 (2019) 87% 4/5 EDIT “The drama, well scripted and beautifully acted as ever, continues to play around with time frames as we saw flashbacks to Vik's terminal cancer.” – The Arts Desk Aug 28, 2019 Full Review Who Do You Think You Are?: Season 16 (2019) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Fine actress though she is, she couldn't hide the surprise and disappointment.” – The Arts Desk Jul 30, 2019 Full Review Mum: Season 3 (2019) 100% 5/5 EDIT “Never anything less than funny, smart and heartwarming.” – The Arts Desk Jun 20, 2019 Full Review The Wrong Mans: Season 1 (2013) 90% EDIT “The opener had some neat twists and turns and ended on a great cliffhanger. Definitely one to stay with.” – The Arts Desk May 17, 2019 Full Review 5/5 EDIT “So John and Kayleigh drove off into the sunset together in Peter Kay's Car Share. Well, no, actually they didn't, because Peter Kay had a nifty little joke up his sleeve for the last scene of this funny and poignant, but never icky, finale.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Apr 23, 2019 Full Review The Windsors: Season 1 (2016) 73% EDIT “All in all, it's daft but harmless fun.” – The Arts Desk Apr 22, 2019 Full Review Peep Show: Season 7 (2010) 100% EDIT “It's indicative of the quality of the writing and acting that a show peopled by mostly ghastly, selfish, repulsive even, characters can be made so wonderfully comic.” – The Arts Desk Apr 18, 2019 Full Review
