Two More New TV Reviews: Ripper Street & House of Lies!

First up, last night's Ripper Street reviewed on The Digital Fix, as progress claims another victim.

Second up, a review which has required a month's research (well, TV watching), so I've let myself have a whole thousand words to cover it:

Digital Fix review of the House of Lies season 1 DVD, out today. Don Cheadle won a Golden Globe for this - is it an amazing look into the world of management consultancy?

New TV review: Last night's Borgen, probed.

My review of last night's Borgen, up now on The Digital Fix.

Can Birgitte discipline her ministers? Well, she'll give it a shot.

TV Review Double Bill - Utopia AND Way To Go!

Two TV reviews today, after a particularly hard day of staring and typing yesterday.

First up, my review of Channel 4's Utopia on Dork Adore stares into the heart of the mystery and says "Hmm".

And, last but definitely not least...

BBC Three's Way To Go sees one of the Inbetweeners get into the assisted suicide field. Oh yeah.

Seriously, though: Way To Go is actually pretty good. It's always exciting as a reviewer to discover a great new show you'd not heard of before. Although it may also mean BBC PR haven't been doing much. Still, check it out.

Monkeys with Typewriters by Scarlett Thomas – Timely Book Review

Monkeys With Typewriters by Scarlett Thomas came out in October 2012, making this less untimely than most of my book reviews, and features the popular novelist and creative writing lecturer setting down, in a mere 400 pages (plus footnotes and appendices), her secrets to good writing.

There are, you may have noticed, a lot of books on writing out there. So, as someone who has already done a whole Masters on the subject, did I get anything extra out of Thomas's contribution to the genre? Well, yes and no.
