You definitely have to be in a certain state of mind to draw full enjoyment out of ITV2’s Switch.
Like an express pulling out of a station, the second season of Homeland started hesitantly but is now building up a head of steam.
Daisy’s latest storyline is only one among many magic wands that are routinely deployed in this drama to re-set the action every other week.
The second season of this swords-and-sandals epic maintains the gripping atmosphere and momentum while propelling its characters into new dangerous situations.
Much like the North-East, Hebburn is a bit rough round the edges, but full of the heart and local laughter that’ll keep you coming back for more.
Following the action adventure that opened the series, this feels like a distinct gear change towards something more intimate.
It’s a slow episode again that only bursts out of torpor when the brutal and well-mounted action scenes kick in.
Perhaps the strongest episode from Series X so far, this episode has so much going for it.
There’s no escaping that this show is cappuccino witchcraft – airy and light and infused with 21st century trendiness.
Oh, Downton Abbey – how could you? You go through an entire world war and barely kill off a soul, and now you sacrifice the youngest and demurest of them all!
