It’s plausible that I’ve seen more than just Season 11 of GBBO this year – Liz has undergone rather a deep dive on the franchise, following my presenting her with a Kitchen Aid last Christmas… so I suppose I’ve been in the room for a fair chunk of it. But I’d say Season 11 is…
The show chunters on closer to contemporary times, and one wonders how they avoid libel: such is the unsympathetic lens through which some members of The Firm are viewed. Nevertheless it’s required viewing, and we mainlined the whole thing in 2 sittings (albeit, whilst on holiday). Quite remarkable how the female characters are the movers…
Absolute gem of a series – great example of game-based suspense without resorting to bullshit Casino Royale-esque rules-exposition-for-dummies. Great role for Anya Taylor-Joy that has you wondering “why haven’t we seen HER in anything before?!”, and a beautifully shot/visualised setting of 50s/60s suburban America. One of the TV highlights of 2020. 👍👍
Intriguing drama about a present-day world where synthetic humans are engaged as domestic/industrial servants, until some of them develop consciousness. The characters have depth and dimension, and the synth acting is eerily good. And it explains why Richard Herring’s been banging on about sex robots that look like Gemma Chan for years. The part of…
Originally I had the feeling that Rick & Morty was something that had passed me by, and then I watched an episode or 2 and thought nothing of it – so it was only being brought to it through the laughter-teared eyes of my mate Adrian on a holiday that made me see it for…
Katherine Ryan’s TV vehicle which – based on her standup content – probably draws heavily on her real-life relationship with her daughter. The lengths and workarounds she goes to in order to conceive is a bit of a stretch, and it’s hard to believe that even someone so self-assured and self-aware would treat a partner…
This seemed like a really well-told story. Now, it’s going to be a story told from one person’s point of view – based as it was on Comey’s autobiography – but one has to assume none of it’s legally objectionable at this point. Otherwise, a story well-made and well-told. Biggest issue I had was Brendan…
Self-contained police questioning drama; on the whole more compelling than season 1, however some of the performances felt a little like drama school auditions.
The high-octane dark underbelly of the Superhero business continues in this gripping second season, and while the plot seemed to split out into many threads to follow, it remained unmissable due to the sheer fucking ludicrous awesomeness of spectacle and content – involving many a Facebook post from people saying “I can’t believe they did…
Multifaceted documentary about the development of video games through history, and interviews with some of the industry’s more notable figures. Somehow finishes up on Nolan Bushnell of Atari, whose genius can be summed up by “We took a game that the computer science nerds had dreamt up, and put a coin slot on it!”.
