When a man on trial is shot dead in his locked prison cell, between two other locked doors, it sets of an interesting course of events that provide the backdrop to Death in Paradise’s character-based season finale. This week’s murder mystery plot takes a back seat as we focus on the dramas of the key … >

‘Broadchurch’ Season 2 finale review

There is no doubt in my mind that the Broadchurch team did everything they could to make last night’s finale an amazing one. However, despite their efforts, whether the episode was satisfying or not depends very much on how you enjoyed the rest of the season. If you are one of the people who felt … >

‘Broadchurch’ Season 2 Episode 6 review

With only three episodes left, Broadchurch really needed to up its game. The quality has been up and down this season, compared to the consistent nail-biting of the first, but there is no denying that tonight’s episode was brilliant, with much needed revelations and developments explored. It’s an episode of key character moments, the first … >

‘Mr Selfridge’ Season 3 Episode 3 review

If I had to pick a theme that best summarised what was going on in this week’s Mr Selfridge, it would be ‘how the war has changed people’ as this episode’s main storylines are drawn from everyone finding their place in a post-war society. A major point in the story is the letting go of … >

‘Death in Paradise’ Season 4 Episode 5 review

In the wake of Camille’s departure from Saint Marie last week, it is business as usual as the Honore Police department investigate the murder of an ageing rock star, found electrocuted in his swimming pool.
