“Mhysa” S03E10 Game of Thrones Review
Oh Game of Thrones, how you are underwhelming us with your finale. Series 1: dragons. Series 2: whitewalkers. Series 3: er, some grateful slaves? Ok, so you probably timed the Red Wedding well by putting it at the end of the last episode, seeing as you don’t like to leave us hanging with specific characters. And the source material you are working from literally has nothing left to shock us except for about two or […]

Audio: Reaction to Matt Smith Leaving Doctor Who
For those of you that haven’t heard, we advise that you go to this link: BBC Doctor Who official blog So we knew we had to react to this news, but we both wanted to comment so we had the idea to record our conversation in our kitchen, where we do most of our post-telly watching analysis, and transcribe the discussion for our readers. However we do tend to get a bit carried away and […]

Arrested Development Series 4 Review
I really didn’t like this when I sat down to watch the first 3 episodes on Monday night (having originally thought it was released on Saturday, then realised after a drunken Sunday and most of a hungover Monday that it was indeed there). I felt that the show was suffering from the odd structure, lack of chemistry due to half the cast not being in the same room as each other, confusing pacing and Portia […]

“The Name of the Doctor” S07E13 Doctor Who Review
Spoilers! Steven Moffat is a tease. He goes and calls an episode ‘The Name of the Doctor’ and of course, reveals something completely different. Not that I fully understand what he revealed, but at least he revealed something. This almost happened the wrong way round though, as someone in the Doctor Who offices fucked up big time and sent 210 blu-rays of the complete series 7 part 2 out to American fans about a week […]

“Amuse-Bouche” S01E02 Hannibal Review
After the very promising series opener ‘Aperitif’ last week, we were hoping this week would be more of the same. Well the performances are as sound, the script just as sharp, and the uck factor very much present. So is it as good or perhaps better? Well unfortunately the quick answer is no. Apparently Hannibal’s US ratings have dropped significantly, and on episode three, which is a massive signpost to the fault lying with this […]

“Nightmare in Silver” S07E12 Doctor Who Review
I’m not sure where to begin with this episode of Doctor Who. I walked away from watching it with no real feeling about it. Would I be keen to watch it again? Probably not. Would I throw a tantrum if someone put it on? Probably not. And that’s not really great is it? Yes sure, it wasn’t bad, but then it wasn’t brilliant either, and with this series being fairly hit and miss already I […]

“Apéritif” S01E01 Hannibal Review
There have been many adaptations of Thomas Harris’ Red Dragon, the first novel in his Hannibal Lector series. Clarice Starling was running around in pigtails at this time and it was Will Graham, special investigator for the FBI, that we followed in that story. In the novel, Lector has been in prison for three years, and Will Graham is retired, recovering from being sliced open by Lector when he caught him. This adaptation isn’t really […]

“The Climb” S03E06 Game of Thrones Review
Warning: I’ve probably spoilt a lot in this review. Just when you think a show can’t surprise you anymore (like when you stupidly read the books beforehand – see last weeks review http://revued.net/index.php/kissed-by-fire-s03e05-game-of-thrones-review/), it jumps up and slaps you in the face. Joy, oh joy! Melisandre, then Gendry (no, not Gendry), followed by that meeting of minds, or rather balls, between Olenna and Tywin and to top it all off, the unholiest of betrayals, Ros. […]
