The show is pretty terrible, but there is at least one very good fight scene in the first couple of episodes. Here, Henry Cavill shows you how it was made – and now you don’t have to watch it.

Film reviews
Orange Thursday: The Personal History of David Copperfield (2020) and X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019)
As per usual of late, Orange Thursday is aiming for both the high- and the low-brow this week, which means on aggregate TMINE is middle-brow. Sounds about right.
The two movies I’ve chosen to subject my retinas to are:
- The Personal History of David Copperfield (2020) – Armando Iannucci’s surprisingly comedic (and loose) Dickens adaptation
- X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019) – ill advised attempt to have another go at the same source material that gave us X-Men 3, just with the X-Men: First Class cast.
See you after the ads and the trailers.
