Malcolm in the Middle: The Complete First Season DVD

TV Review | Ed Williamson | 30th September 2012

You fools. You had no idea of the sharp, biting allegory at the heart of Malcolm in the Middle, did you? No, thought not. Lucky you've got me around.

Community: The Complete Second Season DVD

TV Review | Ed Williamson | 26th September 2012

You'll have noticed that we don't do DVD Weekly any more. It's difficult - arguably futile - to maintain a weekly feature based on DVDs you haven't seen, especially when most of them are reissues of Boon. So yeah, we probably just won't bother covering DVDs from now OH WAIT HERE'S A REALLY GOOD ONE

Dexter: season six

TV Review | Ed Williamson | 21st June 2012

I'm like a reviewing machine these days. I mean, not a very efficient machine; one that churns out two things a week inbetween nodding off on the sofa in front of the football. But hey, that's British manufacturing for you. Coming at'cha down the review conveyor belt tonight: Dexter vs God.

Mad Men: season five

TV Review | Ed Williamson | 16th June 2012

Several times during the interviews before Mad Men's fifth season premiered, we heard the mantra from Matthew Weiner when asked for the season's theme: "When is everything going to get back to normal?" This being Mad Men, this could've meant any number of things: some sort of high-minded allegory for cultural upheaval, a warning not to expect the characters to revert to type, or one of those loose ideas they throw in from time to time that seem meaningless, then significant once you've spent three hours and a couple of Old-Fashioneds thinking about it. Now we've seen the whole thing, it makes a lot of sense.

The Apprentice 2012 – final

TV Review | Jamie McHale | 4th June 2012

Only four candidates remain in Lord Sugar's quest to find his next business partner as telly-land's favourite (only) prime-time business reality show reaches its climax. What a series it's been, eh? OK, so we may not have had a Badger or a Baggs 'The Brand', but we have had a wrestler called Ricky Martin (still funny), the worst TV advert produced by the hopefuls to date, and Nick's eyebrows at such a semi-constant state of raised they may never return to their original position.

House – season 8, episode 19: 'The C-Word'

TV Review | Ed Williamson | 3rd May 2012

House is moving ever-closer towards its final episode, 'Everybody Dies', but we're going to have to wait a little longer to find out who. I mean, presumably it's not literally everybody. Unless … plane crash? SARS outbreak? Ooooh ...

Homeland - season one, episode 1

TV Review | Ed Williamson | 20th February 2012

Damian Lewis means to kill us all, the ginger bastard. I always knew it. Right about now I'm suspecting everyone of being an Al-Qaeda sleeper, even my mum. That's how good Homeland is.

Luck - season one, episode 1

TV Review | Ed Williamson | 18th February 2012

The world's gone horse-mental, people. First Spielberg, now Dustin Hoffman. That script gathering dust in your bottom drawer? Stick a horse in it and get it sent out. For we live in a world where the horse is king. It's the rise of the planet of the horses.

Endeavour

TV Review | Ed Williamson | 11th January 2012

Endeavour: or, as pretty much no one except me is calling it, Rise of the Inspector of the Morses. Yes, I know it was on over a week ago, but I only just watched it last night on ITV Player. All the kids are watching on demand these days. Get with it, granddad.
