Louis Theroux: Miami Mega Jail
TV Review | Ed Williamson | 24th May 2011
Sure, it might sound a bit like the title of a late-eighties straight-to-video Van Damme movie, but it's just good ol' Louis Theroux, diffidently doing the jailhouse rock. Again.

The Missing: season one
TV Review | Ed Williamson | 17th December 2014
You could look at The Missing two ways, I suppose. Either it was ultimately about what happened to the kid or about what his disappearance did to his parents. The latter was more interesting to me but the finale tried a bit too hard to satisfy on both counts, letting them cancel each other out in the end. (Spoilers.)

Review: After Life is not deft enough to avoid causing friendly fire
TV Review | Ed Williamson | 22nd March 2019
To promote his new Netflix show After Life, Ricky Gervais is out doing the podcast rounds, and telling anyone who'll listen why people who are offended by any of his jokes must have misunderstood them. He's probably right in some cases. But what he never considers, or at least never acknowledges, is that if a lot of people are misunderstanding your jokes, maybe it's because you aren't skilled enough at delivering them.

BoJack Horseman: season one
TV Review | Ed Williamson | 2nd September 2014
It's a cartoon about a drunk horse, but I still think it has something interesting to say about contemporary celebrity. I will not let this Media Studies degree go to waste.

The Shadow Line
TV Review | Ed Williamson | 9th May 2011
Hey! It's a new BBC drama! It's dark! It's moody! Anyone have a flipping clue what was going on half the time? No, me neither.

Misfits 3: Should that be Mi3fits?
TV Review | Kirsty Harrison | 3rd November 2011
About a year ago, we told you all to watch series two of Misfits. You must have listened, because it's back. Excellent work, masses. But someone's gone astray and they've added a Dingle. Let's have a chat about that. A big SPOILERific chat.

Louis Theroux's LA Stories: Edge of Life
TV Review | Ed Williamson | 30th March 2014
Having shed the freak-show tenor of his early work, Louis Theroux has become a documentarian you trust implicitly - even when the film ends on an implausible high note.

The Following: season one, episodes 1–8
TV Review | Ed Williamson | 19th March 2013
I like Kevin Bacon a lot. He's the sort of actor who should really be able to elevate a TV project. And the prospect of him leading a major network drama is a great one. But The Following? It's an absolute mess.

Beaver Falls
TV Review | Alex Gregg | 25th August 2011
A quintessentially American summer camp gets invaded by three rowdy Brits. Cue embarrassment, sexual antics, several 'oh my gaaawd's and a boat-load of those life-defining moments. The title says it all really.

Gotham: season one, episode 1
TV Review | Ed Williamson | 25th September 2014
Since the dawn of time, man has struggled with the eternal question. Should Batman be camper than a chicken, or dark and embittered, brooding in the shadows and all miffed, like? Well, here's FOX's solution: how about a bit of both? (Spoiler-free.)
