Dawn and Tyler join Matt to review the week's notable TV. First, BBC One's gangster drama, This City City is Ours starring Sean Bean. Next, Netflix's lavish comedy murder mystery from Shondaland, The Residence. Then, Apple lampoons Hollywood in Seth Rogen's comedic...
It seems almost impossible that Severance creator Dan Erikson could live up to last season’s dramatic cliffhanger finale, and the standard set by the ground-breaking, outstanding episodes that have made up the bulk of this second season. Yet somehow, they have, and as...
Even if I hadn't rewatched the first season of Severance in preparation for this second, it is truly astonishing how memorable and effective Season 1's finale was. The innies infiltrating the lives of their outies was properly exhilarating. Ever since, it doesn't feel...
For two weeks now, Severance has shifted its focus away from the central MDR group and onto the backstories of characters we've only known in the prism of the severance procedure. Harmony Cobel, (Patricia Arquette), the fearsome presence that loomed over the MDR group...
I rewatched the first season to prepare for the second, and it was striking how much of it had been imprinted into my memory, given the nearly three years that had passed. There were only a handful of threads I'd forgotten about. Strangely, those are the ones I've...
Following on from last week, the tempo of Severance is beginning to heighten once more as the unity between the MDR groups fractures and splinters. Dylan (Zach Cherry) notifies his colleagues of the map to the export hall that Irving left behind for them, yet nobody...
This week on Severance, we take a step back. The second season so far has dealt with tense situations and slowly built up, all leading to last week's explosive episode, in which we saw the death of Irving B (John Turtorro). This episode focuses more on expanding on...
Yes, Do It SETH! Who is Irving B? Irving B is a stickler for the rules, who loves to make lame jokes and harbours a deep affection for his friend. He is a deeply religious man, grieving the recent loss of a loved one. He is battling with the ongoing disillusionment of...
Last week’s episode of Severance saw us explore the outie’s perspective of what happened post OTC activation, and this week we get an episode that mostly deals with the hunt for Gemma. The first half is centred around the Innies as they search the severed...
In an age where new series come and go in the blink of an eye, it's worth remembering that some of the best series are close-ended. The mini or 'limited' series which asks very little of you in terms of commitment but deliver a concise and satisfying story. I've put...
The BBC and Netflix have announced casting for Lockerbie, the forthcoming factual drama made by World Productions. The six-part series is based on the real events surrounding the 1988 Lockerbie bombing and the joint Scots-US investigation which sought to bring the...
AppleTV+ have been quietly putting out a stable of consistent anthology series to go with their mammoth dramas – Little America was one of the best series of the year it came out closer to the streamers’ launch, and now, with its star-studded talent that fills to the...
It's that time of year again, here's our look at the best shows of 2015! Last Tango in Halifax (December 2014 - February 2015, BBC1) A fixture on our best of the year list since it began in 2012, Last Tango in Halifax proved once again to be one of the best dramas on...
We discuss the return of Prey, the end of Nurse Jackie and the gibberish from The Apprentice.
Did we like it? We liked it so much that we're already fearing withdrawal symptoms when we reach the end of this drama set behind the scenes of a Friday Night Project-like show (those stupid US TV executives pulled it after just one series) What was good about it? •...
