TV Review: It’s A Sin (2021)

If you watch one show in the whole of this year, make it this one. Because this will not be beaten. I think I've cried at two TV shows in my life. What can I say, I'm a cold-hearted bitch. But It's A Sin left me in tears twice. It's so raw, it's so hitting. …

TV Review: Pose (Seasons 1&2)

This review will (obviously) contain spoilers. Don't read on if you want to avoid them... just press play. Season 1: ★★★★★★ (6/10)Season 2: ★★★★★★★★★★ (10/10) It's my first review for this blog for a long time. A month is a very long time in this world, but maybe I've realised that I need to shut …

TV Review: Des (2020)

The chilling true story of Dennis Nilsen's killing spree between 1978 and 1983 has been tastefully placed into an ITV three-part drama, to universal acclaim. With some incredible acting performances - especially from David Tennant and Daniel Mays - it's two and a half hours of television which is worth a catch up on the …

TV Review: Alex Rider (2020)

When I was younger - probably around 12 or 13, although I can't remember exactly - I was obsessed with the Alex Rider books, by Anthony Horowitz. Granted, I don't recall an enormous amount about what went on in those books, until a couple of days ago I didn't even know that they were still …

TV Review: Beat (2018)

In this stylish, gritty, German-language thriller, I was attracted by the techno music, the nightclub and the promise of murder. In the end, I was entranced by the pure depth of plotting which took place - as well as the many twists and turns - however, left slightly bemused by the sheer number of unanswered …

TV Review: Killing Eve (Seasons 1-3)

It was the hit show of 2018 - breaking records and winning awards in both the UK and America, it blazed a trail with its uniqueness and light-hearted approach to detailing the exploits of a Russian assassin, and MI6's efforts to bring her down, or manipulate her to their advantage. But with the third season …

Netflix Review: White Lines (2020)

It's got the swish location. It's got the glamour, and the trashiness, of 1990s Ibiza and ageing Manchester people remembering their former glory two years on. It's got a critically acclaimed director (Alex Piña, of Money Heist), and the best soundtrack to a TV show which I have ever heard, combining the biggest house tracks …

TV Review: Line of Duty (Series 1-5)

It's widely regarded as one of the best television shows of the Century. I've watched the 29 episodes of Line of Duty so far, and can confirm that it is indeed one of the best series I've seen in a long time, if not the best. Just as a warning, after the next section, there …

TV Review: Quiz (2020)

Most people in Britain, and perhaps the Western world, will know the story about how in 2001, Charles Ingram went onto 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?' and allegedly cheated his way to £1million. I say alleged; he was convicted for it. 'Quiz' has been criticised by former host Chris Tarrant for casting doubt upon …

Netflix Review: Harlan Coben’s The Stranger

This is the best Netflix Original since Russian Doll came around last February. Big words to use, I know. But it's not just me who's heaping praise on 'The Stranger'; online there is hardly a bad word to be said about it. One word of warning for people who may have read the book; the …
