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!
One week in and is Hunted the worthy successor to Spooks that we hoped for?
A bit more thought-provoking than the episode that preceded it, the second episode of Red Dwarf’s new series is ultimately a slightly mixed but entertaining affair.
If the opening episode restated the battle lines, this one provides a positively game-changing resolution that is guaranteed to shock.
