"Possibly the best drama serial ever, this poignant action-epic is based on Stephen Ambrose’s true account of the extraordinary wartime experiences of US paratroopers, with cinematic production values."
"This seminal police drama is an antidote to the artificial gloss of all the CSI-type shows. Each season tackles different social topics whilst also developing the main characters. Gritty and gripping."
"Aaron Sorkin's classy (underlit) drama chronicles a fictitious and idealistic Democratic administration. But it arguably wanes during the middle seasons, especially when the humour seems forced."
"Ian McShane is a revelation in this adult western series with the relentlessly filthy dialogue taking on an almost Shakespearian eloquence. But there is an overload of characters in Seasons 2 and 3."
"This highly-rated space opera is a gripping update of the campy original with serious adult themes and admirable SFX, but it overdoes the wobbly camerawork and sombre whispering of dialogue."
"Joss Whedon's impressive (and humorous) sci-fi western deserved to become a mainstream show rather than just the first season of a fondly remembered cult."
"This brilliantly-conceived captivating concept about plane-crash survivors on a mysterious island could be considered a work of genius…or unfathomable nonsense – either way it’s perfectly executed."
"After starring in Apollo 13, Tom Hanks presented this ambitious chronicle of the entire Apollo space program which maintains quality and integrity from start to finish."
"Second series for the continuing voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Unfortunately series 3 lost its way with too much 'flower power' symbolism and got the show cancelled."
"The cult appeal of David Lynch’s surreal murder mystery, that dissected small-town America with a sinister sense of humour, was that it intended to baffle. Mesmerising but don’t expect any answers."
"Larry McMurtry's sprawling Wild West saga is often (debatably) quoted as the best western ever made. Top notch cast. Reasonable HD transfer. Region free discs. Only spoilt by a few not-so-special FX."
"Engrossing and suspenseful memoirs of William Shirer, a foreign correspondent in 1930s Germany who witnessed the alarming grip of the Nazi regime building up to the outbreak of war."
"Based on the prolific Master of Horror’s bestselling doorstop, this supernatural tale develops a terrifically terrifying concept into a disappointing conclusion. Tim Curry epitomises a scary clown."
