"We first met Martin Shaw's solemn Inspector Gently in a one-off episode last year, when he arrived in Northumberland after the murder of his wife, tracking down the gang boss who killed her. His familiar Judge John Deed voice replaced by the soft rumble of an approaching goods train, Shaw decided that Northumberland might offer a more peaceful life. Sadly ... With a quiet, determined manner, he ploughed a furrow through a case full of false names, false leads, false starts, framings and lies; helped (and occasionally hindered) by his long-limbed young sergeant, John Bacchus - a lad with flashes of brilliance inbetween long stretches of cheerful incompetence.." guardian.co.uk
Mad men. The complete first season
"Mad Men is a joy to watch - the clothes, the clocks, the furniture, it's like a mid-century night's dream. But this is no mere period piece. It's a smart, complex drama that attempts to get through the facades that have always hidden the truth." USA Today
The Amazing Mrs Pritchard
"Written and created by Sally Wainwright after her disillusionment over the last British elections, “Mrs. Pritchard” evokes a 1970s pop feminism that doesn’t come around much anymore — a Helen Reddy-“9 to 5”-“A woman needs a man like a fish needs a-bicycle” kind of feminism that feels as distant and goofy to us now as the “Mad Men” era of sexism it fought to depose." New York Times
The Lost Room
"A very complex metaphysical mystery, the enjoyment of which comes, in no small part, from the surprises that spill out as it slowly unfurls." New York Daily News
