What we said: Its version of revolution always included bettering the bleak truth through sheer force of imagination. But in wrapping up the story, Pose became an out and out celebration of an under-represented demographic.
#LILY FRAZER SERIES#
(BBC Two) Ryan Murphy’s series about New York City’s African American and Latino LGBTQ+ and gender-nonconforming drag ball scene was already an important show. It could be a breakdown – or it could be the pandemic’s wildest gift to comedy. What we said: It is a comedy Gesamtkunstwerk, a journey to the nerve-centre of the quarantined entertainer’s mind, a son et lumière Robinson Crusoe musical for the age of not just social but digital isolation. Future generations will see Inside as the definitive document of the Covid lockdown.

(Netflix) It’s hard to know what was more impressive about Inside: the fact that Bo Burnham wrote, performed, directed and edited the whole thing by himself, the fact that it was simultaneously funny, inventive and gut-wrenchingly sad, or the fact that he was only 29 when he made it. Like series Mindhunter, which dramatised the founding of the FBI’s Behavioral Science Unit, this takes the familiar “case of the week” structure from police procedural thrillers and applies it to a serious-minded study of forensic psychology. What we said: It’s not the tortured psyches of the detective that are of most urgent interest here. This series about a real-life missing girl from the 1980s managed to combine the style and drama of Wallander with the queasy complicity of contemporary crime shows. (BBC Four) If you were worrying that Scandi noir was going to be outpaced by the dubious charms of the true crime fad, relax. What we said: Although the “here’s when you will die” hook is lifted straight from The Ring, tonally it has much more in common with The Leftovers and The Returned, shows that shone a light on the fragility of the human experience that reminded us that it doesn’t take much for everything to fall apart completely. A clatteringly good watch that deserves to go down as a classic. Instead, Mortimer worked hard to boost both the joy and sadness of the source material.
#LILY FRAZER TV#
(BBC One) Emily Mortimer’s retelling of Nancy Mitford’s novel could have fallen back on all the old Sunday-night TV chocolate-box tropes. Where Lupin betters its English equivalent is in its effortlessly chic updating of the revered source material. What we said: The winning combination of charismatic star and stage illusionist visuals in an iconic city setting bears comparison to the BBC’s London-set Sherlock. Updated to contemporary Paris, Lupin became a sensation this year, largely due to the juggernaut charisma of star Omar Sy. (Netflix) The story of a century-old French gentleman thief might not have screamed “blockbuster”, but that’s what Lupin was. What we said: “An absolute wonder.” Read more.

As such, especially for those who lost a loved one in the first flush of Coronavirus, it was a staggeringly hard watch. The real anger, though, is reserved for the government. And, like the rest of the country, they’ve started to hate each other. A couple are, like the rest of the country, stuck inside together. (BBC Two) Written by Dennis Kelly, directed by Stephen Daldry and starring James McAvoy and Sharon Horgan, this Covid two-hander certainly didn’t want for talent. What we said: In a few small weeks she has improved as much as some do in years … and there is so much more to come. The North Water saw him bulk up and head out to the Arctic, where he could terrify the crew of a whaling ship to impossible ends. (BBC Two) Now that his days as a heart-throb leading man are over, Colin Farrell can concentrate on what he does best: intriguing character work. What we said: The underlying collective testimony furnished by Four Hours at the Capitol is that the age of Trump has not yet ended – and the true day of reckoning in the United States is still to come. At its most intense, when we watch a mob try to beat an officer to death, it stands as some of the most claustrophobic television ever broadcast. From the police officers’ bodycams to gurning selfie footage from the insurrectionists, Four Hours at the Capitol could take you right inside the terrible events of 6 January. (BBC Two) Jamie Roberts’ film, covering January’s failed insurrectionist coup, had one huge advantage over most documentaries almost everyone there was filming it. Liam doesn’t know what he is doing, but as a writer/performer, Williams really does. What we said: By the end of series two, nothing has been resolved and nobody has grown as a person, just as the rules of sitcom demand. comic Liam Williams and Lily Frazer in Ladhood.
