It’s asking moral questions of its audience that makes Good Cop worthy of a place amid the crowded market of crime dramas.
This week’s episode of Jack Whitehall’s comprehensive-based comedy tackles the evergreen connection between video games and violence.
With the series so far being centred almost entirely around Sinbad and his troubles, this week’s episode switches the focus into Anwar.
The writing of this episode is even sharper than last week’s opener, and we are left in no doubt of Whitehall’s satirical intent.
With the Olympics a sweaty memory, the BBC wheels out the gold medal acting talent to squeeze Parade’s End into five digestible episodes.
Now a premise of Sinbad returning to Basra to save his grandmother and confront Akbari and Taryn would be suitable for a season finale, wouldn’t it?
Whitehall’s writing doesn’t just play with the education debate – it eviscerates it and irreverently plays with the remains.
Asylum of the Daleks is a promising start to the new series and a confident restatement of the series’ direction in the wake of the events of The Wedding of River Song.
Based on a screenplay developed by J. J. Abrams and Jonathan Nolan, Person of Interest aspires to be complex, but ultimately fails to be so.
Despite the pervading gloom, Thirteen Steps Down is certainly watchable, and compelling enough to keep viewers hanging on for the second episode.
