Throughout the second season of The Walking Dead, redneck savant Daryl Dixon has been taking the lion’s share of the cool and heroic moments. While alpha chaps Rick and Shane have been angsting and killing their own people, Daryl is stoically searching for a missing girl and battling his inner … [Read more...]
Misfits: Series 3, Episode 3 – Dork Review
This week, Simon to takes the spotlight in Misfits, and I would’ve written a much more amusing intro about that if he’d still had the power to turn invisible. But anyway, he’s a parkour-powered superhero now, with a beautiful girlfriend and the little-explored ability to see possible futures. So … [Read more...]
Merlin: The Secret Sharer – Dork Review
It’s been well documented, both in my reviews and elsewhere, that Merlin has been “darker” this year. Obviously, they’re never going to be a serious adult show like Game Of Thrones, although Morgana’s interactions with her relatives have been almost as incestuous, but still, they clearly want to … [Read more...]
The Walking Dead: Cherokee Rose – Dork Review
This week’s Walking Dead is the closest we’ve had so far to a day in the life of a bunch of zombie survivors. They ran errands, took stock of their position and, yes, there was even a few romantic moments or two. Well, in a way. It’s hard to tell. Of course, this sort of thing could be boring, … [Read more...]
Frozen Planet and Fast Show Faster – What We’ve Been Watching
Any regular readers of What We've Been Watching will know that I love few things more than a great nature programme, and you don't get much greater than one led by the unimprovable David Attenborough. … [Read more...]
Misfits: Series 3, Episode 2 – Dork Review
Last week, Misfits spent most of its running time selling us on Rudy, their new character. This time, it’s all Curtis, all the time. It appears they’re taking turns. And yes, the Curtis episode is largely about the implications of his new gender-bending powers. So, did it make you feel … [Read more...]
Merlin: Servant Of Two Masters – Dork Review
This week in Merlin, an old standby makes a comeback: comical brainwashing! Much of series four has been too serious and grim for anyone to spend a whole episode pretending to be possessed by Sparrowgooch The Dancing Troll, but they’ve finally let it happen! Well, in a way. Sparrowgooch doesn’t … [Read more...]
The Walking Dead: Save The Last One – Dork Review
This week on The Walking Dead: utter, crushing misery. I know I shouldn’t expect a show about survival post-zompocalypse to cheer me up, but this entire episode radiated horror. Well, there were a few wisecracks to cheer me up, but for the most part, sadness. So, was it the good kind of … [Read more...]
Misfits: Series 3, Episode 1 – Dork Review
The third series of Misfits has an air of the regeneration about it. Not only do we have new powers for all the returning ASBO kids, there’s a new major character in the form of Rudy and... for once, there isn’t a new probation worker, actually. So some consistency. But still, that’s a lot of … [Read more...]
Merlin: His Father’s Son – Dork Review
Every so often, I wonder if the writers of Merlin (or Spooks or Doctor Who) read these reviews, especially when they pull out an episode that totally addresses my recent complaints. Then I realise this would be impossible, due to the effects production involved in making these type of … [Read more...]
