"Sarah (by day, a bored art historian) turns detective when an attempt to deliver a card to a child injured in the blast drags her into a conspiracy; soon she's in cahoots with Emma Thompson's spiky PI Zoe Boehm and getting entirely out of her depth. As befits a thriller adapted from a novel by Slow Horses creator Mick Herron, it's an enjoyably astringent, increasingly nervy"
"Fresh from lampooning a repressive theocracy at the Riyadh Comedy Festival via the neat satirical device of accepting their money, Jimmy Carr returns to TV in this series derived from a popular Reddit subreddit. Ironically, it's a show about, as Carr puts it, defining the parameters of morality - admissions of questionable behaviour are submitted to Carr (and his panel of Jamali Maddix and GK Barry)"
A gas main explodes in a quiet Oxford street, interrupting an awkward dinner party hosted by Sarah Tucker. Sarah, a bored art historian, investigates when delivering a card to a child injured in the blast pulls her into a conspiracy. She teams with Zoe Boehm, a spiky private investigator, and navigates increasingly nervy intrigue mixed with unsentimental, pitch-black humour. Jimmy Carr fronts a TV series adapted from a Reddit subreddit in which admissions of questionable behaviour are judged by Carr and a panel before an audience vote. The infractions range from light-hearted to shocking, testing public morality and judgment. Mayor of Kingstown examines a town whose economy depends on correctional facilities and the resulting tensions.
