The Walking Dead finally finds some consistency - @robith on 4.11 'Claimed'

I’ve been a bit confused this last week. I’ve been pointing out the flaws of The Walking Dead for a couple of years now, while it garnered record viewing figures and a stunning 8.8 on imdb. The three episodes since the mid season break have been like watching a different show; tense, character driven and exciting. Yet this week, there seems to have been a swell of opinion turning against the…

ignore the fact it's on Sky1! @robith on the return of Moone Boy

If you missed season one of Sky’s wonderful Moone Boy, shame on you! Born from a series of shorts broadcast one Christmas on Sky, international superstar Chris O’Dowd’s take on a fictionalised version of his childhood in western Ireland is at once nostalgic, warm, surreal and very, very funny.

First up, I’d just like to say that I love Girls, and I think Lena Dunham is the best. Season 1 was, to use a cliche, a breath of fresh air. Even moving past the all too sad novelty of a TV show with a majority female cast show mostly written and directed by a woman, it was human, natural, brutal and bloody funny.

Season two started in riotous form; the Donald Glover break up episode in…

Walking Dead, 4.10, Inmates review by @robith

I was quite surprised by the reaction to last week’s TWD episode. Having hankered for some character driven action for so long, I thought last week’s was well crafted, tense and actually interesting. All the things I’d wanted in my mid season report.

However the show does it, and is called boring. Maybe for some it’s just too far gone.

I try not to see any other comments before I write my…
