Black Mirror has run out of ideas

2 weeks ago | inews.co.uk | Emily Baker

A new series of Black Mirror used to be a huge cultural event. Anticipation would build for weeks ahead of the premiere – what unsettling tech would Charlie Brooker introduce this time? Who would guest star? But this seventh series seems to have arrived without much fanfare. After 14 years, perhaps we’re finally getting bored with its dystopian vision. It’s easy to see why.

Seven times Black Mirror predicted the future

2 weeks ago | inews.co.uk | Ed Power |Emily Baker

As if the nightly news and our daily social media feeds weren’t dystopian enough, this week Netflix will unleash a seventh series of Charlie Brooker’s future-shock anthology series Black Mirror. Buckle up for further tales of virtual reality gone wrong and seemingly benign technology revealed to have a demonic flip-side.
The White Lotus finale proves slow TV can be spectacular

2 weeks ago | inews.co.uk | Emily Baker

This review contains spoilers for the series-three finale of The White LotusThere’s been a lot of grumbling about how slow the third series of The White Lotus has been. I get it: entire episodes have passed with very little action and, with eight episodes rather than last year’s seven and a weekly release schedule, it’s taken a while to get to the deadly crescendo. But this escalating, intense finale more than makes up for slower moments earlier on.
The best TV series on Prime, Netflix and Disney+ in April

3 weeks ago | inews.co.uk | Emily Baker

Surprisingly, it’s taken this long for Netflix to create its own American medical drama, given the success of series like Grey’s Anatomy (now in its 21st series!) and ER. Pulse – from Lost showrunner Carlton Cuse and The Equalizer writer Zoe Robyn –is set in the trauma centre of a busy inner-city Miami hospital, where patients with serious life-threatening injuries are sent.
Guy Ritchie’s MobLand is better than his terrible last TV series

3 weeks ago | inews.co.uk | Emily Baker

The name Guy Ritchie is synonymous with bombastic gangster dramas – with guns and flash cars and men with strong East End accents calling each other “c***s”. His best addition to the genre is 2000’s Snatch, a rip-roaring, violent and funny tale of mobsters tracking down a stolen diamond; his worst is last year’s Netflix series The Gentlemen – a gratuitous, imitative spin-off of his earlier film of the same name. MobLand, the director’s latest entry to the canon, sits slap bang in the middle.
