It’s only becoming clearer why War of the Damned had to be the final season of Spartacus.
After a tremendous opening instalment, can the new series from Doctor Who and Torchwood writer Chris Chibnall continue its form?
This is the last chance we’ll get to say it, so here goes: Socha, Bracken, Molony – take your bows. Yours was a perfect trinity.
At its core Robot & Frank is a very human story about getting older.
Oz The Great and the Powerful includes some memorable moments and the cast are top notch, revelling in the hyper-realism of the piece.
A potentially big problem for any little voice is that the production risks being unbalanced by the very thing you likely bought your ticket for in the first place: scene stealing sequences in which a mighty songstress rips forth from a delicate frame. While Jess Robinson delivers on this (and finds space to provide LV with a wry humour) all of this would to naught if there wasn’t a great supporting cast – and, for that matter – plot – to populate the world that Little Voice is so desperately attempting to avoid.
This is a zombie drama that feeds on brains for psychological purposes rather than shocks.
‘Decimation’ is a powerful episode that clearly shows us that things will only get worse for the characters as the season progresses.
As an exercise in managing and confounding expectations, this episode is skilfully done.
This is an unnecessary remake of John Milius’ eighties film of the same name.
