The best TV shows of 2021 (so far!)
July 8, 2021 - Based on a book by former NME writer David Hepworth, this documentary series offers a fascinating insight into a year of seismic political change. Executive producers Asif Kapadia and James Gay-Rees, who previously made 2015’s heartbreaking Amy Winehouse doc Amy, use fabulous archive footage to explore the galvanising soundtrack provided by icons like The Rolling Stones and Aretha Franklin. ... Best moment: This richly layered series really is a tapestry – to borrow the title of the year’s best-selling album, by Carole King – but sections on Marvin Gaye‘s socially conscious masterpiece ‘What’s Going On’ are especially evocative.

The Best TV of 2021
December 13, 2021 - When TV critics compose their lists of the ten best TV shows of the year, what they’re really doing is identifying a group of breakthrough cases — not in the COVID-19 sense, but rather a creative one: Networks and streaming platforms are so crowded with viewing options that a series needs to do something daring, unusual, or too compelling to be ignored in order to really stand out. If it can pull off all three, even better. These were the kinds of stories from 2021 that the critics from Vulture and New York Magazine attempted to single out, from Reservation Dogs, the vibrant dramedy about life in an Oklahoma Native American community that landed on all four of our professional TV junkies’ lists, to The Underground Railroad, a powerfully filmed adaptation of Colson Whitehead’s novel, also a four-peat among this group.

December 17, 2021 - There's an icy grey look to it, as if everyone's being interviewed while lost in a deep fog bank. What could have been ghoulish or uncomfortably maudlin was instead a shatteringly empathetic series of stories which reminded you again that as well as being a pivot point in world history, 9/11 was a series of thousands of terrible tragedies, random chains of consequence that leave some alive and some dead, and bonds which continue to endure.
