In last week's Being Human, Tom met another werewolf and felt like an underdog. (Pun intended.) This week, another wolf-man is following him around like a starry-eyed fan. Coincidence? Meanwhile, Hal is trying to serve as an example too, for crusty-mouthed vampire Crumb. And it's nearly the end … [Read more...]

Murder, misery and maiming, hooray… The Walking Dead S3E10 – Dork Review
So, hands up anyone who would actually want to live in the world of The Walking Dead? A world of shambling misery where everyone you know hates you, and death is the only release? (Mostly because you would become a zombie, so might get to eat some of those people.) Yes, the meat-grinding nature … [Read more...]
Can a conspiracy this confusing ever truly end? Utopia finale – Dork Review
Channel 4’s conspiracy comic mega-drama Utopia has finished off its first series, among a range of confused reviews, especially from me. It started okay, picked up a bit, dragged horrendously in the middle, then last week seemed to be improving. So, what cap did this finale put on the whole … [Read more...]
On such a run of form, even the mid-series filler episodes are good… Being Human S5E3 – Dork Review
So, they’ve cancelled Being Human. Since I’ve really been enjoying the show, I‘m dismayed by this choice, but life goes on. This week, Tom takes on a disappointing mentor, whilst Hal plays a similar role to a regency-styled ghost. And if that sounds like a tangent to the main plot, well, it may not … [Read more...]
Is Rick too crazy or just crazy enough? The Walking Dead: S3E9 – Dork Review
Since last we saw our heroes, The Walking Dead has undergone yet another personnel change. This show burns through staff as fast as zombies: showrunner Glen Mazzara has been killed off (metaphorically) due to “creative differences”. Which is a shame, as the first half of this season was their best … [Read more...]
Who is Mister Rabbit and do we care? Utopia S1E5 – Dork Review
During my recent, quite grumpy Utopia reviews, I’ve expressed hope it could still have a good ending – the sluggish pace might pick up as they race through the last couple of weeks to a conclusion. Well, that time is now - the penultimate episode has aired. So, did they take their last chance at … [Read more...]
Just as I start to love a show, the BBC cancel it… Being Human S5E2 – Dork Review
This week on Being Human, things take a surprisingly OTT turn, as Alex confronts the minions of the Devil, whilst Hal and Tom confront each other in a literal food fight. The best part: it’s exactly as silly as it sounds, yet I still really enjoyed it. Well, my enjoyment was slightly tempered by … [Read more...]
Utopia: Series 1, Episode 4 – Dork Review
Another week in Utopia, and you can hear the phones ring across the agency. “Shit,” they’re saying, “we’re running out of plot!” “Don’t worry,” their mate reassures them, “the characters can always sit around for a whole episode. There was a traumatic shooting at the end of the last one, we can … [Read more...]
Being Human: The Trinity – Dork Review
Last year, I wrote nice things about Being Human series four. Despite running out of cast members and starting almost from scratch, they made it work. The replacements were likeable, the plots worked, Mark Gatiss was in it – one of their best series yet, a nice surprise. So, now it's time to do … [Read more...]
Utopia: Series 1, Episode 3 – Dork Review
It must be a rollercoaster reading my Utopia reviews. In the first week, I declared it vague and style-over-substance, but last week, everything changed and I thought, actually this is building nicely, I am starting to get a feel for the characters, fair enough. Now I’ve mentioned the … [Read more...]
