One week in and is Hunted the worthy successor to Spooks that we hoped for?
A bit more thought-provoking than the episode that preceded it, the second episode of Red Dwarf’s new series is ultimately a slightly mixed but entertaining affair.
If the opening episode restated the battle lines, this one provides a positively game-changing resolution that is guaranteed to shock.
The closing scenes, so different and yet so perfectly juxtaposed, are more than enough to assuage any fears that Homeland might have lost its way.
The second episode of The Paradise builds on the strengths of the first, but without necessarily rectifying its weaknesses.
Twenty-four years after the first series aired and over three years since Back to Earth was broadcast, Red Dwarf has returned.
Frustratingly generic, the first episode of BBC One’s new eight-part thriller Hunted marks a serious departure from form for almost everyone involved.
So, have Amy and Rory departed the TARDIS with a bang or a whimper? Well a bit of both, actually.
The episode reconfirms the state of play and shows us the battle lines ready for what may be a climatic series, as well as leaving us on a tremendous cliffhanger.
Does the first episode of The Paradise differentiate itself enough to find its own niche in the already cluttered world of television costume dramas?
