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.

Black Mirror: Be Right Back

TV Review | Ed Williamson | 13th February 2013

You read a million articles a week about the creeping ubiquity of technology. Most of them adopt a negative tone from the get-go: statistics showing the high numbers of online interactions we make are offered as evidence that they're replacing our real-life ones, without the idea that they might in fact be supplementing or even enriching them ever raised. This simple scaremongering fear of the unknown is absent in Black Mirror. It's written by people who embrace technology, and use this knowledge to imagine its dark potential. And it is at times quite brilliant.

House – season seven finale

TV Review | Ed Williamson | 27th May 2011

So the other night I was performing surgery on my own leg in the bath just for kicks and I ended up having to call my ex-girlfriend to take me to the emergency room, which ultimately led to my driving a car through her living room window. Seemed like a good idea at the time.

Community: The Complete Third Season DVD

TV Review | Rob Young | 26th September 2013

Much like Ed did a year ago in his review of Community season two, I find it a tricky, almost daunting prospect to review an entire season of something, even more so when I haven't had time to watch all 22 episodes. Look, I've just been super busy lately (catching up with Breaking Bad). But if the rest of the third season of Community is as sharp, original, and self-knowing as what I've already seen, then hell, my job's already half done.

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 Killing (US) - season one

TV Review | Alex Gregg | 27th September 2011

One dead girl, an over-involved homicide detective and an investigation set in real time ... sound familiar? Nope, I'm not talking about some weird Hercule Poirot/Jack Bauer mash-up: of course I mean The Killing, AMC's reimagining of the successful Danish show of the same name. Nominated a whopping THREE times at the first Critics' Choice Television Awards, The Killing has just reached its staggering conclusion on Channel 4 and here's what we thought of it.

TV Review | Ed Williamson | 4th October 2011

Man, oh man. Someone's got some money to spend. Four million dollars an episode, Steven Spielberg on board as exec producer, and a shit-tonne of CGI dinosaurs. Welcome to Terra Nova.
