This February saw a legend make his way to the big screen with Shaun the Sheep: The Movie. Aardman’s much loved mute sheep made his way from Mossy Bottom Farm to The Big City with a blistering feature film debut.

I blame Hannibal. I really, deeply do. After all, the alarming trend of movies and horrors going to the small screen to drag out a premise over several episodes, seasons and more because a fan-base is already there to manipulate. As a fan of art, I don’t lament it too much; dependent on the mind behind it and the reasons for interpreting material, the product could be phenomenal. But for every Hannibal, there’s a Bates Motel. Because Bates Motel is a shoddy series intent of profiting off Psycho much like the sequels and will shove anything in there such as rape because the writing was so poor, dull and lifeless. But yet again, it raps on my door like incessant house-keeping and as I caught the season three opener, I wondered if it had changed its tune. Perhaps they had developed No. It’s still shit.  If any of you even start to whistle "Hi-Ho" we are turning this evil outing around!

The threads are beginning to weave together in this week’s ONCE as Operation Mongoose gathers pace as the villains close in on the Storybook. Lies and past wrongs are exposed, and the writers even throw in a unicorn for good measure. Warning this review contains spoilers outside of the fairytale classics… and a lot of ‘finally’s.

This is it, ladies and gentlemen. The Walking Dead Season Five has come to a close. In this 90 minute finale (And by 90 minutes what they really meant was an hour long episode with half an hour of commercials), the show really outdid itself in terms of quality, and it boiled down to moments of nail biting tension.

It’s only Aramis on trial in the season two finale of The Musketeers, but everyone’s about to get punished – generally by death, because Rochefort’s on the rampage. Last week, it seemed like everyone was doomed to die, so could the Musketeers save Constance, Aramis and the Queen from execution, and expose Rochefort’s lies to the world?

We are well underway with Season Three of the cut throat world that is Netflix’s House of Cards. This episode still stays in the oh so familiar format of its previous chapters, yet somehow we find ourselves yearning for more.

The pilot of any television show is always going to be tentative, especially when you are basing it on a series of books with an expansive fan-base and are battling against similar shows. Arguably, Outlander, a brand new series on Amazon Prime based on the novels by Diana Gabaldon, has a lot to prove. A television audience is there waiting to devour Outlander, and already it has set tongue wagging in places such as Australia and USA. Making its way home, it’s time for UK fans to pick apart the romping series.  by Catherine Wignall
Episode two of this infectious pop-confection sees it fall ably into the murder-of-the-week set-up for us in the pilot, only with the added twist of a second zombie on the scene. David Anders had a superb entrance as Blaine this week, rising eerily from a morgue table when Liv’s back is turned. It’s a nice comic moment yet effectively manages to suggest Blaine may not be the nice guy he’s pretending to be. Obviously, the flashes Liv had of Blaine attempting to rip a guy’s skull open may have tipped us off, but the skill of Anders’ performance is in convincing us to believe that maybe we were wrong. Maybe he really is trying to turn his life around.  by Graham Osborne
Community could be very much viewed as having its honeymoon period (again!) for Yahoo. The series is still great fun to watch, but is that due to the heady scent of nostalgia pervading our nostrils, or is it because the writing is so damn excellent? If it is the former, this episode could signify the beginning of the descent into mediocrity. If it’s the latter, then the episode is just a bum note in an otherwise wonderful symphony. |
