The Walking Dead’s mid-season finales have always been a bit of a lottery. On one end, there’s the satisfying, game-changing action of Season 4’s prison battle, and on the other there’s the mostly lethargic winter finale from last year. One thing has united every mid-season finale, however – a huge, emotional event to push the … >
Countless question marks later, we’re already at the penultimate episode of The Returned Season 2. Gone by quick, hasn’t it? Ah see, there’s another question mark right there. This show breeds them, like lapins. But there are fewer opportunities to jab at the ‘?’ button like a demented Riddler this week, as once again we … >
The Walking Dead is still ticking away at a decent standard creatively, but it’s undoubtedly let the pace slacken in the last few episodes. Even last week’s slightly snappier episode still felt a little too much like filler – a solid hour of television, but not an instalment that felt essential to the season arc. … >
Season 2 hasn’t pressed quite as hard on the scar of body horror like Season 1 did – no keloids, no chomped stomach linings, no one eating bits of themselves – but this week ‘Esther’ reminds you of the gory glory days of The Returned with a pass back down the underpass. 10 years before … >
ITV has ordered a new ‘domestic horror’ drama from the makers of Unforgotten. Written by Paula Milne (The Politician’s Husband, White Heat, Small Island), the three-part series will focus on “life’s major themes: the painful breakdown of relationships, love, loss, betrayal and passion”.

Season 6 has been a very different season of The Walking Dead in many ways, but it’s becoming apparent that it’s kept a very similar structure to Season 5. Just like last year, had an opening trio of fast-paced, action-packed episodes, followed by another couple that slowed down considerably to varying degrees of effectiveness. It’s … >
Have you noticed how animals are always bad omens in The Returned? Last season there was the butterfly which appeared as Mr Costa killed himself; then Mme Payet being feasted on my her cats like she was an ‘All You Can Nom’ Whiskas buffet; then bits of a stag wedged in a bin in a … >
Halowe’en may have come and gone, but if you’re still looking for scares, you could do a lot worse than Irish horror The Hallow. Coming out at the same time as one of the most successful Irish films ever (Brooklyn), The Hallow offers a very different look at the Emerald Isle, taking the beautiful countryside, … >
The Walking Dead has been a lot of things this season. In turns, it’s been a spectacle-driven drama, a siege thriller, a gory horror flick and then a quiet, thoughtful two-hander. This week? It’s just a typical episode. ‘Now’ is Scott Gimple’s iteration of The Walking Dead in default mode: a relatively slow character piece … >
