October 29 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

It wouldn't be hard to improve on the latest episode of Loot Season 3, a deeply lazy grab-bag of semi-offensive cliches about England that didn't have much of a point beyond Molly trying to repair her floundering reputation.

October 22 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

"Circus" is a very good episode of Slow Horses, in all the ways we've come to expect. It's laugh-out-loud funny in places, effectively tense in others, and moves along at a real clip.
