At first glance, this penultimate instalment of Crazyhead would appear to be business as usual.

“And in that sleep, what dreams may come…” Westworld has spent a good chunk of its first six episodes methodically putting the building blocks in place for what’s now ensured (thanks to this week’s season two renewal) to be an expansive mythological journey. It’s been a fascinating ride, but light on genuine pay-off, and often … >
How much pressure can something survive before it cracks? It’s a question that The Walking Dead has been fascinated by this season.

With the Elster software spreading like a virus, Humans starts to explore the idea that acquired consciousness doesn’t automatically mean instantly acquired intelligence. For instance, my 10 month old nephew possesses a consciousness, and he keeps smushing broccoli into the carpet and repeatedly forgets that he’s scared of Mr. Pontipine’s moustache on In The Night … >
It would have been way too easy at this point for Crazyhead to slip quietly into the comfortable Freak of the Week format so coveted by other genre shows. It’s telling then that so far this hasn’t happened, with this third instalment feeling like an organic extension of the first episode, as opposed to just … >
While Torchwood has been off our screens since 2011’s Miracle Day, the show has maintained a loyal fan base and was successfully resurrected on audio by Big Finish in September 2015. To celebrate its tenth anniversary The Torchwood Archive weaves a tale through the history of the organisation, from its Victorian roots to the distant … >

Last year, in our review of the spectacular finale to Season 1, we promised that ‘wherever Humans Season 2 is going next, we’re eager to follow’. Well, pack a bag and grab your passport.
