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...]
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...]
The Walking Dead: Bloodletting – Dork Review
Last week, The Walking Dead opened their season by outdoing themselves, in terms of both zombie-lurching set pieces and horrendous splatterage. So, as one might expect, this week sees consolidation, as they introduce new non-decomposing characters and turn the screws on our existing ones. So do … [Read more...]
Spooks: Series 10, Episode 6 – Dork Review
The end! The finale! The last ever outing for the BBC’s Spooks, the spy show that dared to ask: Is there anything we can’t get away with, as long as we do it with conviction, shouting and a reasonable budget? For years, the sky was the limit for Spooks and their made-up intrigue, but now it’s … [Read more...]
Merlin: Aithusa – Dork Review
After three bleak episodes, I was wondering whether Merlin was hellbent on being miserable this year. Don’t get me wrong, none of those were bad, but nor were they happy, and the zippy bantering unity is part of this show’s appeal – that and Bradley James topless, obviously. So, this week, … [Read more...]
The Walking Dead: What Lies Ahead – Dork Review
Smash-hit zombie series The Walking Dead disappeared after only six episodes last year, which must have been torture for the Americans and, you know, business as usual for the UK, but now it’s back for a superlong 13 episode run, albeit split into two chunks in Doctor Who style. So, the first new … [Read more...]
