I suspect many of you haven’t heard of Another Life, Netflix’s attempt at a gritty, complex sci-fi series that dropped on the same weekend as the final season of Orange is the New Black. I honestly hadn’t heard about it until I signed into Netflix and saw that Katee Sackoff (best known for her stellar […]
After the focused story of the previous episode, Catch-22‘s fourth episode is a return to a more sporadic story. After the deaths of McWatt and Kid Sampson, Yossarian (Christopher Abbott) decides he is going to do his reminding 11 missions as fast as he can. After completing those missions in six days Yossarian has to wait […]
The end of Orange is the New Black marks the end of an era for streaming television. It might be hard to fathom now, but when Netflix launched Orange is the New Black and House of Cards within months of each other in 2013, no one was sure if the nascent television network (which, until […]
Catch-22Â continues with a much more focused episode with its third entry. It is the strongest episode in the season so far. The 256th US Army Air Squadron has been given the mission to bomb Bologna. The city is heavily defended by the Germans and Yossarian (Christopher Abbott) believes it will be a suicide mission – […]
This article contains spoilers for season four of Veronica Mars. If you haven’t watched the entire season yet, do not read this.

Following the first episode of Catch-22 picks up a lot having introduced the characters and the setup for the season. At the end of the previous episode Colonel Cathcart (Kyle Chandler) has raised the mission count from 25 to 30, much to John Yossarian’s (Christopher Abbott) dismay. The war progresses in the Allies favour, leading to the […]
I’ve been writing about television for the past six years, and for much of that time, Emmy Nomination day was my second least-favorite day of the year (the Emmy Awards themselves were my least-favorite day, for a variety of reasons). Every Tuesday, I would read through the list of nominees and get angry over how […]
Catch-22Â is a celebrated satirical novel by Joseph Heller and has been adapted into a six-part miniseries for Hulu. In the UK the show is being broadcast on Channel 4. The series follows an American bomber squadron based in Italy during the Second World War. The first episode follows John Yossarian (Christopher Abbott), a bombardier who’s […]
The murder of James Bulger has had a massive impact on the British psyche. Not only was it a horrific crime but also due to the perpetrators being so young. This crime serves as the influence on the Scottish miniseries The Victim. Craig Myers (James Harkness) is a 28-year-old bus driver with a young family. His world is shattered when […]
I will admit that I was part of the camp of critics who thought Stranger Things probably should have ended after its initial season (I feel I should also admit that I didn’t really like that first season all that much). Then came Stranger Things 2, which I enjoyed even more than season one (although […]
