Warning: this episode does not feature either Bill Pullman or Lauren Ambrose. As their antics have been some of the most entertaining aspects of the series so far, this results in the sixth instalment falling somewhat short of interest.
The Hour is never less than compelling television, but on the occasions when it really steps up its game, it becomes something rather unmissable.
‘Torchwood located,’ C. Thomas Howell’s nameless assassin announces at the beginning of ‘Escape to L.A.’ – and although, of course, he’s talking about the newly-formed team, he could equally be referring to the show itself.
Five episodes in and Falling Skies remains a curious and somewhat frustrating show. It’s got a classic sci-fi premise, yet something about it never quite convinces.
If you’re expecting answers and resolutions after last week’s electric showdown then you may want to recalibrate your expectations.
It’s a wonder there are still new crimes to cover now that there are exactly 108 (a complicated lab test involving iodine was used to determine this number) variants of the CSI franchise.
Let’s get this out of the way first: the Weeping Angels, though arguably Steven Moffat’s greatest creation, are perhaps the least suitable new Doctor Who monster for use in a novel.
The Arthurian legend is retold once again in the Starz series Camelot. Taking its cue from other recent dramatic reinterpretations of historical tales and myths, this is a dark and gritty version of the legend.
Wow, it’s Eighties week in Torchwood! The fourth instalment of Miracle Day features appearances from ex-’80s movie “stars” C. Thomas Howell and Mare Winningham, whilst there’s another tip of the hat to The A-Team.
