It tends to happen once every series. Amid the crudity Misfits will produce an episode that manages to touch you right there.

It tends to happen once every series. Amid the crudity Misfits will produce an episode that manages to touch you right there.
You probably can’t tell because there aren’t two halves of two corpses lying across the fourth paragraph of this review, but we’re at the halfway point of Sky Atlantic’s continental murder marathon. The homicide hump.
The final episode began with the prospects of a conviction looking shaky. The defence had already rocked Will Burton’s eyewitness testimony and so the prosecution team were leaning heavily on their two pieces of physical evidence. Within a few short scenes, the razor sharp Maggie Gardener (Sophie Okenodo) had eviscerated both.
This week’s story from Wizards Vs Aliens continues Series 2’s strong form with some extraordinary CGI work, a fantastically unexpected team-up and some moral quandaries to face.
For a series named after one of history’s most notorious misogynists, Ripper Street rarely gives us the female perspective.
In retrospect, Series 4 of Downton Abbey looks like a gigantic exercise in repositioning the characters in readiness for Series 5.
After last week’s focus on Hercules and his romantic travails, we returned to a broader story which drew in the members of the Altantean royal court. Beginning with a pronouncement from King Minos, celebrations began for the engagement of Princess Ariadne to the oily Heptarian with the announcement of a Pankration, a brutal fighting contest.
It’s only when Misfits flies from our screens in – ooh, whoa, just 5 weeks’ time – that we’ll fully understand the unique position it built itself out of concrete and profanity and the colour orange.
After the dramatic events of last week’s opening episode, Will Burton (David Tennant) finds himself frozen out while both prosecution and defence build their cases for the second murder trial of Liam Foyle.
Within minutes of Wizards Vs Aliens Series 2’s second two-part story we’re treated to the words “bum burps” and the antics of new addition to the show, Squiggly – a rhyming, spitting Hobbledehoy.
