Twists, turns, redemptions, falls from grace. Orange is the New Black is a show which genuinely has it all. As it’s weaved its wicked web, it’s become nothing short of essential viewing. Proceed to season four with caution though; it’s going to get a little emotional up in here…

The Walking Dead: Season Six Review
Another year, another topsy-turvy season of The Walking Dead.
The X-Files: Season Ten Review
Dark, funny, goofy and muddled, The X-File’s return is one of variety, but also of wild inconsistency. It’s not the triumphant return many fans had hoped for, but it certainly had moments where it recaptured that ’90s magic.

American Horror Story: Hotel “Checking In” Review
There’s no doubting it, American Horror Story is an odd show. At its best, it’s scary (as the title would suggest), provocative and thrilling. At its worst, it’s a mess.

Simpsorama! The Simpsons/Futurama Crossover Review
A show out of ideas teams up with a show out of episodes. Whereas The Simpsons and Family Guy crossover episode earlier this year mirrored its double billing with a double length running time, Simpsorama is a brisk 20 minute jaunt which whilst is certainly funny, simply doesn’t have enough time to become anything more meaningful…
