The Twelve review – even Sam Neill can’t save this legal melodrama

You season four review – Penn Badgley’s frothy thriller is awful (and hugely entertaining)

This series, the murder drama tries to become a whodunnit that satirises the British class system. It’s no longer worth asking if it’s good or bad – just enjoy the rollercoaster

The Guardian - UK

For the Love of Dilfs review – Stormy Daniels’s gay dating show is a hoot from start to finish

Essentially a queer Love Island, this ‘hypersexualised reality show’ sees ‘daddies’ and ‘himbos’ try to find their soulmate. It’s tonnes of lean, not-so-clean fun

The Guardian - UK

Casa Susanna review – this portrait of queer life in an era of illegality is incredibly moving

This beautiful documentary tells the tale of a 1960s resort that offered total freedom to ‘cross-dressing men’ to be themselves. It’s a poignant, celebratory, sad story

The Guardian - UK

The Reunion review – one scene is so violent it’s actually unwatchable

The Guardian - UK

The Lying Life of Adults review – another impeccable Elena Ferrante TV show

Netflix takes Ferrante’s coming-of-age tale about a bored teen and her brash, entrancing aunt and adds rocket fuel. They’re having a blast – and you will too

The Guardian - UK

Stonehouse review – Matthew Macfadyen is a brilliantly bad baddie in this fun, death-faking romp
