Ralph Fiennes masterfully conducts this story of the unifying grace of song against the discord of a mobilizing nation. A quintessential 'home front' drama, it captures the working stoicism of a 1930s English mill town as the world tilts toward war.

Novel and welcome for its rarer theme of wine culture. Rather goofy, but also entertaining all the same.
We're suckers for spy thrillers and this was fun, if weak. It's always enjoyable to see an up-to-date effort of one's favourites, and the stories and settings were good but let down by the actors. Red. is a little milque toast for our liking and service agent was ridiculous. On a par with the BBC's 2016 Night Manager (Le Carre).
Watch instead Forsyth's 1973 classic with the great Edward Fox.
Really good fun and doesn't run out of puff until season four, we think. Gary Oldman is great and stays just the right side of self-parody (unlike our favourite bugbear Johnny Depp!); the wider cast all play good supporting roles. We don't feel we're adding anything by recommending this widely popular show. Well done Apple TV.
No. Just, no.
Oh, and the last Bond? I want my money back.
Entertaining, but a poor imitation of the infinitely more rewarding 'Rush'.
An expedition to find Shackleton's ship from his legendary expedition and heroic example in leadership. Interesting but you're much better off with the adventure itself. Disney.
