Critics
The Gilded Age; The Decade the Rich Won
“All snobbery and society balls, waspish aunts and snooty servants, and on a very ‘new money’ budget”
-
Critics
The Responder; The Nilsen Files
“As fast and riveting as a thriller and as harrowing as a documentary. If you are looking for a state-of-the-nation piece, it is here”
-
Critics
Trigger Point; Good Karma Hospital; The Caribbean with Andi and Miquita
“There was barely a moment to breathe in this exciting opener – and the stakes couldn’t have been higher”
-
Critics
Ozark; Fraggle Rock; Andy Warhol’s America; After Life
“The first seven episodes of the fourth season make for couch-gripping TV and are a masterclass in tension before the show’s finale”
-
Critics
Stacey Dooley: Stalkers
“I sincerely hope that exposing their stalkers on TV will shock them into stopping”
-
Critics
Ghislaine, Prince Andrew and the Paedophile; The Puppet Master; Why Ships Crash
“A pacey, if pretty tabloid, overview of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s vile exploits”
-
Critics
Keeping Up With the Aristocrats; Kelvin’s Big Farming Adventure
“The series is warm-hearted and great fun”
-
Critics
Sue Perkins’ Big American Road Trip
“The programme is a standard gentle travelogue format done well”
-
Critics
After Life; Martin Clunes: Islands of the Pacific
“The comedy’s depiction of grief, depression and friendship is tender and, at times, groundbreaking in its honesty”
-
Critics
The Bay; The Journalist
“I was never mad on this drama to be honest, but this was a well-written episode and Marsha Thomason has made a strong start”
-
Critics
Rules of the Game
“A mad thriller in which Peake vapes her way through each episode with a set of eyebrows that make her look like Cheshire’s answer to Cruella de Vil”
-
Critics
Couples Therapy
“This is electrifying television (to me, anyway), from the non-verbal communication to the slow unspooling of ordinary human lives”
-
Critics
Ant & Dec’s Limitless Win; The Green Planet; The Killer Nanny
“The most viscerally thrilling big-money game show since Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?”
-
Critics
Screw; The Apprentice
“This is broad and warm and welcoming, with enough of a sharp side to make it worth sticking with”
-
Critics
Mandy; The Repair Shop
‘One of the best episodes of Mandy I have seen. Diane Morgan as the workshy mouth-chewing halfwit Mandy Carter was at her sullen best’
-
Critics
The Language of Love; Toast of Tinseltown; PEN15
“This is a holiday romance stripped to its component parts and reassembled by TV producers”
-
Critics
Four Lives; Anne; The Tourist
“Four Lives doesn’t linger on the crimes themselves, but balances the events leading up to them with the fallout”
-
Critics
The Great British Sewing Bee: Celebrity Christmas Special
‘It would take some doing to derail the Bee’
