Ripper Street’s seventh episode, ‘A Man of My Company’, was far and away the best of the series so far.
After a couple of episodes in which the series arc has been at the forefront of things, it’s a change of pace this week.
The ending is downbeat, full of a sense of hopelessness and hugely challenging; brave and gripping television.
On the evidence of this excellent premiere, the final season will be able to provide Spartacus with the ending that it deserves.
The third episode of Dancing on the Edge is a slower, quieter affair.
In a week where we found out that Series 5 would be Being Human‘s funeral march, it’s fitting that we have an episode which harks back to the show’s beginning.
This is in stark contrast to David Oyelowo’s previous work – Complicit is the anti-Spooks.
Followers of Being Human love it for its deft switches from the morbid to the comic to the mundane.
After the tumultuous events of the last episode, the brakes are applied and the pace is taken down a notch.
What is fascinating is the light Poliakoff shines on the upper classes as we see their actions through the experiences of the band.
