I’ve reviewed the first episodes of Saved and Windfall already. They’ve now passed the third episode stage so as is tradition round here, I’ll give you my (brief) verdicts on whether you should stick with them:
Saved: Less dark now, still not much fun, less interesting than it was. Probably not worth soldiering on with if you have any doubts.
Windfall: Has now succumbed to every cliché and obvious plot development possible. Save yourself: don’t watch it!
Oh well. I’m just going to have to start looking for the next great US TV show again, now. Sigh.

I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
