    The Celebrity Traitors review – Ross Kemp really needs to get a grip - AOL (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Warning: this article contains spoilers for episode one of The Celebrity Traitors. So – have they managed to capture lightning in a franchised bottle again? The new series of The Celebrity Traitors, more hotly anticipated than Nigella entering the Bake Off tent, is here. Twenty-one contestants of varying levels of fame, but never dipping below C-list, have signed up to endure Claudia Winkleman’s tyranny in Ardross Castle, in the hope of winning up to £100,000 for their chosen charity and a place

    East of Eden review – Florence Pugh’s soapy Steinbeck adaptation is brilliant, compelling TV - AOL (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    It is rarely difficult to distinguish between a John Steinbeck novel and a ray of sunshine. The new adaptation of his 1952 book East of Eden doesn’t buck the trend and wastes no time plunging us into the murk. The opening scene follows a beaten, bloodied woman as she crawls across a muddy field towards the only house for miles around. Out of the house come two brothers. One rushes to rescue her. The other takes one look and announces: “This is a mistake.” Brother, you have no idea. The rescuer i

    The Great British Bake Off review – Nigella is wise, generous … and perfect for this national treasure of a show - AOL (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    There’s a very good argument to be made for requiring a national referendum on whether presenters of shows that are part of our cultural identity should be allowed to leave, followed by – if necessary – a vote on who should replace them. At the very least, this would avoid the parlous state of affairs we face right now: at the very moment the public is grappling with the new-look Strictly Come Dancing (Tess and Claudia replaced by Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe and Johannes Radebe, three whole dif

    Youth review – Sharon Horgan is back … and she’s better than ever - AOL (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    There’s a moment in Sharon Horgan’s new show, Youth, when – as protagonist Alex (Horgan) is seeing her son off to university – she inadvertently begins to run after the car that’s taking him away. And then she catches herself, and slows. And then she starts up again. It was such a tender, vicious glimpse into the future that I found myself sobbing into the sofa and cursing her name. All of which is to say: Sharon Horgan is back and she’s better than ever. Youth is the representation every woman

    The Wargame review – Michael Gove is awful at pretending to be PM in this mind-warping reality show - AOL (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Trigger warning: this review contains the phrase “Michael Gove cosplaying as PM.” There is no helpline. The Wargame is mind-warping. On the one hand, it posits an imminent nuclear strike on Britain by Russia. Bad! On the other, it posits this happening in a world in which the government is composed of Michael Gove cosplaying as prime minister, Nicola Sturgeon as his deputy, Harriet Harman as home secretary, Sayeeda Warsi as attorney general and Penny Mordaunt as defence secretary. So, you know,
