Closing the story of ITV’s three-part domestic horror series, HIM ends on a real high, with some interesting developments that made last night’s instalment the best episode of the drama so far and a fitting end to the story. “I need time to process this. It’s a lot to calibrate.” The action picks up straight … >
It would have been way too easy at this point for Crazyhead to slip quietly into the comfortable Freak of the Week format so coveted by other genre shows. It’s telling then that so far this hasn’t happened, with this third instalment feeling like an organic extension of the first episode, as opposed to just … >
Season 7 began last week with a dark, extremely violent episode that wallowed in its own nihilism and total hopelessness throughout. This week, it’s entirely the opposite. Interestingly, ‘The Well’ was filmed third and swapped in the running order with next week’s episode that focuses on Daryl’s torture in the Sanctuary, partially because of how … >
Last year, in our review of the spectacular finale to Season 1, we promised that ‘wherever Humans Season 2 is going next, we’re eager to follow’. Well, pack a bag and grab your passport.

Nine weeks after their rather fractious adventure in Moscow, which resulted in a bust up between the pair, we pick up with Hooten on the trail of another fabled item; this time the wish-fulfilling Chintamani jewel. Searching in the Cambodian jungle, Tomb Raider style, he is on the trail of artefacts which hold clues to … >
Well obviously, the winner of The Great British Bake Off 2016 is Candice. In practical terms, it always was going to be. A baker who was determined to do the best she could, whose meeting of own personal expectations of her levels of excellence were probably more important to her than the Bake Off trophy … >
As we head into the second episode of ITV’s new supernatural horror drama, HIM, the bright points of the show are starting to shine through. However, a few of the glaring missteps in its production are all too evident as well, leading to a mixed bag of an episode. “He kept doing that fight or … >
