The second series of Charlie Brooker’s Black Mirror came to an underwhelming end tonight with ‘The Waldo Moment’.
While for some Dancing on the Edge has been too slow, we have really enjoyed this drama stretching over a longer, unhurried format.
Until the devastating final twenty minutes, there is the customary balance of humour, humanity and horror.
Desperate times make for desperate measures. They also make for very good episodes of Being Human.
Ripper Street’s finale had plenty in the way of thrills, spills, ginger ponytails and last minute rescues.
Mary and Martha is a hugely moving and uplifting piece (there were audible tears at the screening we attended) and beautifully crafted.
It’s another Tom-centric episode this week, but one which allows him to be mentor for a change.
Utopia creator Dennis Kelly obviously has much more in store for the odd gang as the first part of their story comes to an end..
In its second episode, Spartacus: War of the Damned still finds itself with a lot of establishing work to be done.
With ‘White Bear’, as with previous episodes in the series, Brooker has managed to create a nightmarish alternate reality.
