We’ll excuse almost anything for a laugh”.

“It may be as subtle as a blow to the skull,” saysThe New York Times, but it’s an inventive meta-critique of TV." And according toNews.com.au"Kevin Can F**k Himselfdoesn’t just reference sitcom tropes, it weaponises them".

Anne Rice’s Interview With The Vampire

It’s 2022 and Louis de Pointe du Lac, a vampire, is living in Dubai and telling his life story to a journalist. And what a story it is, full of bitten necks and heaving bosoms, and much closer to the source material than the movie. It’s “a handsomely shot and well-cast blend of horror, humor and romance in which bodices and throats are ripped in equal measure,” says theTimes-Picayune.

“With a quartet of knockout performances, this is Rice’s bloody, beautiful story told on screen anew,“Empiresays. “Now finally given the chance to wear its queer heart (and guts, and gore, and assorted viscera) proudly on its sleeve.” TheHorror Queers Podcastagrees: “Exquisitely produced and featuring a trio of great performances by Jacob Anderson, Sam Reid, and Bailey Bass, the series deftly explores sex, violence, race, class, and queerness in nuanced and entertaining ways.”

Dark Winds

Dark Windscurrently has the full 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s based around Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn of the Tribal Police as he is besieged by a series of seemingly unrelated crimes in the Navajo Nation in the early 1970s, and it’s attracted rave reviews.

The Guardiansays: “It is a knotty, atmospheric mystery that still feels fleet enough to be tackled in one or two binges,” while IGN Movies says that “As both a period piece and a cultural primer for an unabashedly Native American story told through a Native American lens, Dark Winds successfully gives audiences a different perspective and backdrop for a crime drama.”

It’s also been called “gripping, gorgeously shot and propelled by superb performances"TIME. “Dark Windsis a very good show that also happens to be very important,” it added.
