It seems so cruel to say that True Detective has lost its touch based on two episodes, but the writers of this show are capable of so much more. The ending of this week’s episode was interesting, but up until then, it was horseshit.

True Detective "The Western Book of the Dead" Review (Spoilers!)

For years now, HBO has constantly put out quality entertainment, even some of the best TV shows of all time. Last year saw the first season of their new show True Detective, starring Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey as two detectives on the hunt for a serial killer in Louisiana. The show was about as close to perfection as TV has come since The Sopranos ended, with its exceptional performances, beautiful cinematography and incredible writing garnering praise from just about everyone. So when it was announced that show would return with a new cast and plot, audiences became sceptical. Could they possibly top what they had already done? Do we want a show without Rust and Cohle? It lead to some worrying thoughts, but lo and behold, Season Two has arrived, to an incredibly underwhelming start.

True Detective is back on our screens, albeit, sans McConaughey and Harrelson. Instead we have Colin Farell, Rachel McAdams and Vince Vaughn. To celebrate the new season, it’s about damn time we had a look at the mesmerising titles that started every episode of Season One.

How the fuck does someone review an episode like that?

Like, where to even start? How do we talk about all the good things about this episode when it all goes to shit? How is a person expected to be fully capable of forming sentences after an ending like that? Game of Thrones has done what it’s promised all season, and it has gone out with a bang. And yes, it broke the internet. If we can keep our cool for just a moment, let’s check out the brilliant parts of this episode.

Episode Nine of Game of Thrones is always the most exciting. The penultimate episodes of the past four seasons has seen Ned Stark getting beheaded, Stannis Baratheon’s attack on King’s Landing, Robb and Catelyn Stark being slaughtered and the Night’s Watch defending Castle Black from The Wildlings. Overall, it’s usually the biggest episode of the season, but that didn’t look to be the case this year. Last week’s episode was a triumph and cast members have said that next week’s finale will break the internet, so episode nine is just plopped in the middle. Will it be able to rival its predecessor or successor? 

Maybe. But first, let’s talk about all its issues, because it wouldn’t be an episode of Season Five if there weren’t any.

Game of Thrones "Hardhome" Review (Spoilers!)

6/2/2015

by Robbie Jones

Looking back on the rather poor quality of this season, it shouldn’t be as surprising as it is. Season Four of Game of Thrones wasn’t amazing either; it certainly wasn’t bad, but it lacked the quality of the previous seasons. Season Four may have dropped in quality but it still blew audiences away with Tyrion’s trial (Peter Dinklage’s best performance on the show by far), the heartbreaking battle between Oberyn Martell and The Mountain that left viewers shocked and disoriented, Tywin getting his just desserts from Tyrion and of course, the television masterpiece that was The Watches on The Wall, an hour of breathtaking action and exhilarating performances. Everything bad about Season Four can be forgiven for those things, but Season Five has yet to do anything brilliant. Poor efforts every week, and whilst last week wasn’t bad, it certainly wasn’t great. Hardhome is the first episode this season to truly knock it out of the park, but does it make up for the rest of the season?

Here we are ladies and gentlemen, the final episode of Mad Men. Every drink, cigarette, ad idea and personal drama has all lead to this moment. It’s hard to say goodbye, but all good things must come to an end. We'll get to the actual review in a minute, but first, let’s just take a look back at the series.

Game of Thrones is always on people’s lips. Whether they’re talking about how good it is, the shocking moments that have happened, or even debating about the books and the show, everyone is always talking about it. Unfortunately, it’s not always for a good reason. Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken is easily the worst episode of the season so far, and you all know why. But let’s get through the positives first before we discuss....That.

It was a pretty weak outing in Westeros this week, though it had its moments. We got to see just how badass Greyworm really is, unnecessary boobs (Because boobs), a great start to a hopefully epic storyline, this, alongside the criminalisation of homosexuality, has sent the show down an even darker path, allowing it to spread its wings further from the yoke of its literary origins.
