As you’d expect from a series as slow as The Walking Dead, this week is mostly devoted to the aftermath of last week’s sudden zombie attack. The survivors pick up the pieces, and many cast members are dead. Of course, I wasn’t as in love with last week’s episode as I had been with previous ones, … [Read more...]

Misfits: Series 2, Episode 4 – Dork Review
This series of Misfits is flying by, isn’t it? I spend so many TV reviews nowadays talking about incrementally progressing subplots or clinging rigidly to a status quo (yes, I am talking about Merlin), and this show is untroubled by any of this stuff, barrelling forward on a wave of mad ideas and … [Read more...]
Merlin: The Coming Of Arthur – Part 1 – Dork Review
It’s here! After the most sustained reviewing campaign I’ve yet mounted on Dork Adore, we have the beginning of Merlin’s finale two-parter. Which means, after lurking for the entire year, Emilia Fox’s Morgause and Evil Morgana’s smirk have their try at taking over Camelot. Of course, … [Read more...]
The Walking Dead: Vatos – Dork Review
It seems like The Walking Dead has barely started, and yet we are two thirds into the first season. That already-ordered second season of thirteen is some comfort, but still. God knows how we cope in Britain, where everything only gets six episodes. Anyway, the incremental, atmospheric … [Read more...]
Misifts: Series 2, Episode 3 – Dork Review
In the formulaic world of British TV drama, Misfits often stands alone, thanks to its unpredictability and sheer bad taste. And this week, it launches itself from the pack again by virtually resolving the big mystery of the year in the third episode. Maybe I’ve been beaten into submission by … [Read more...]
Merlin: The Sorcerer’s Shadow – Dork Review
One notable change in this series of Merlin has been the scarcity of big name guest stars. In earlier years, scarcely a week would go by without someone from another high profile BBC show turning up. And remember when Isaac from Heroes was cast as Lancelot? Good times. This year, however, the … [Read more...]
The Walking Dead: Tell It To The Frogs – Dork Review
As we travelled wearily through this week’s The Walking Dead, it was easy to get nervous and paranoid. After all, at any moment a zombie or big emotional moment could leap out on us. The tension was thicker than those ignorant Southern stereotypes pounding around Rick’s camp. As the buzz … [Read more...]
Misfits: Series 2, Episode 2 – Dork Review
Now that Nathan has been excavated, the non-superhero non-team of Misfits get back to the important business of going clubbing and having accidents with their powers. Oh, and more of the mysterious masked man we’re apparently calling “Super Hoodie”. So did it hit the magical Misfits sweet spot of … [Read more...]
Sarah Jane Adventures: Goodbye, Sarah Jane Smith – Dork Review
The end of the fourth series is here for The Sarah Jane Adventures, and with it comes extra drama, as two of the cast come a little closer than usual to death, and a couple of familiar faces make a welcome comeback. So did this finale feel important enough? Does it tie off the series with flair … [Read more...]
Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 1 – Dork Review
So, the prolonged death rattle of Harry Potter begins. A shrieking gurgle that starts in November 2010 and may finally croak its last in July 2011, unless J.K. Rowling announces she’ll churn out another novel. But assuming that doesn’t happen, this is the first in a two-part adaptation of the … [Read more...]
