CriticsTV Critics: Superfoods: the Real Story; True Detective; The Met; Tattoo Fixers
“This four-parter takes the long way round to reveal the inevitable.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Odyssey; Cordon; Top Gear
“Like a version of Homeland made by The Beano, this war on terror conspiracy hogwash hobbles its way through every cliché of the genre.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Superhospital; The Tribe; Dogs: Their Secret Lives
“This is reality TV put to its best possible use.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Don’t Tell the Bride; The Interviews; Haslar; Nightmare Tenants, Slum Landlords
“Don’t Tell The Bride is a fat, flea-ridden, red-eyed rodent of a television programme.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: The Bank; Don’t Blame the Council; Mountain Lions
“A revealing and surprisingly entertaining three-part doc.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: True Detective; The Met: Policing London; Kevin McCloud's Escape to the Wild
“It is all very different from the first season and, I am glad to report, it is all very much the same.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Black Work; Humans; The Legacy
“Despite the fine performances, it paled in comparison to other recent gritty cop dramas.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Hoff the Record; Dogs: Their Secret Lives; Catching History's Criminals; Celebrity MasterChef
“It was painfully raw at times, broken up with flashes of black humour, surreal wit and gratuitous bum gags.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: The Bin Laden Conspiracy?; Long Lost Family;
“Corbin attempted balance but was thwarted by lack of footage and sources. We were left having learnt pretty much nothing.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Dara Ó Briain Meets Stephen Hawking; Your Inner Fish; Undercover
“Hawking’s answers, and his efforts to out-do O Briain in the comedy stakes, gave us a palpable sense of the man behind the world famous digital voicebox.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Clangers; The Met; How To Be Bohemian
“If your kids don’t like it, they have no taste.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Humans; TFI Friday; The BBC at War
“A deliciously creepy view of the almost-future.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Stonemouth; The Tribe; The Marriage of Reason and Squalor
“Though it lacks true knuckle-chewing suspense, it works well enough. But the love story is dissatisfying and uninvolving.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: The Interceptor; Napoleon
“This was the sort of low-grade guff that drives viewers away from terrestrial TV and into the arms of Sky and Netflix.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Birthday; Running the Shop; An Hour to Save Your Life
“The marriage of stage and screen rarely presents such bonny offspring.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: The Met; Escape to the Wild; How to Be Bohemian
“It was so skilfully constructed that it felt more like a high-end drama.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Pinewood: 80 Years of Movie Magic; Protecting Our Foster Kids; Sense8
“It could have been a dazzling whirl through the history of Britain’s greatest film studios. Instead, we got Jonathan Ross playing the tourist at a tatty theme park.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Big Box Little Box; Dementiaville; The Truth About Your Teeth
“I learned that hybrid TV – this is clearly a mix of other shows nicked from other channels, Gogglebox, The Gadget Show/Gadget Man – can be successful. It’s fun.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Modern Times: Weekend Warriors; Long Lost Family; Doll & Em
“Luke Sewell’s skilful film wasn’t really about the Tough Mudder. It was about modern masculinity and relationships. As such, it was disarmingly intimate.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: The Syndicate; An Hour to Save Your Life; The Secret Life Of Your House
“This series will do nicely for the first six weeks of summer.”
