Instead, it has been absolutely cracker.” Read the full review Gentleman Jack BBC OneĬame back even bolder … Gentleman Jack. There’s a strong sense that though it will be missed, it hasn’t outstayed its welcome. What we said: “It took a while for Derry Girls to establish itself as that rare thing, a modern comedy classic, but now it feels like it has always been there. Orla (who surely grows up to be a politician) would be proud. After watching the final episode, which saw the teens go to vote and envisage a future after the Troubles, many viewers said it was the best history lesson they’d received on that time. But it’s so much more than a lively comedy. Reliably, there were endless laugh-out-loud one-liners as the gang – and the parents, whose flashback episodes were great – got themselves into trouble. Still, something feels right about this being the final run, following the girls (and the wee English fella) during their last school year and the run-up to the Good Friday agreement referendum.

Laugh-out-loud history lesson … Derry Girls. ‘No, ravioli,’ says Jack.” Read the full review Cheaters BBC One
‘Beers?’ says Danny, pleased, as his roommate comes in carrying cans.
What we said: “The growing friendship between the two young men, in a genre and world when such things are seldom showcased or made part of the cultural narrative, is genuinely uplifting. One minute you’re howling with laughter (“The Harvester in Watford seemed like a safe space to come out”) and the next you’re in tears (when Danny’s beloved gran doesn’t remember who he is). What ensues is a perfectly written and performed ode to gay-straight male friendship. Jack befriends Danny (Jon Pointing) – a heterosexual lad who just wants to pull “fit birds” but is frustrated by mental health problems. This autobiographical six-parter follows Jack (Derry Girls’ Dylan Llewellyn) who reluctantly starts university while grieving his father and struggling to be openly gay. If 2019 was the year of Phoebe Waller-Bridge and 2020 belonged to Michaela Coel, Jack Rooke is TV’s most exciting voice of 2022. But by the end of episode one she’s ready to unleash the righteous strength of a working-class woman who has been wronged.” Read the full review Big Boys Channel 4 She does the hard yards first, showing us the times when Williams is confused and fallible and nearly beaten by sadness. What we said: “Peake, an apparently pale, frail presence with fire beneath her skin, is ideal casting. More than just an excellently executed miniseries, it is a call to never back down in the fight for justice. Peake gives a trembling performance as a grieving mother who spent 23 years campaigning for the truth about her son’s death and the other 96 victims. Knowing how the day ends requires you to brace for the downpour of devastation and injustice ahead. In the opening minutes of this four-part drama about Hillsborough, Anne Williams (Maxine Peake) waves off her excited teenage son and his friend to go and watch Liverpool play.
