It all comes down to this. The final season of Netflix's "Top Boy" is just days away. After more than 10 years, the streamer will be airing the final season, and it's bound to be an intense one.
For the uninitiated, the show follows drug dealers Sully (Kane Robinson) and Dushane (Ashley Walters) as they navigate a scene of gang violence in Hackney, East London. The show first aired on the UK's Channel 4 in 2011 before being canceled. Drake then revived the show in 2017, with the help of Netflix, of course.
In the previous seasons, we've seen Sully and Dushane work together to run a drug empire and turn rivals. From turf wars to prison breakouts, there's never been a dull moment, mostly because no character can be fully trusted. There have been some iconic scenes, from the comedic to the downright shocking. Curtis's (Howard Charles) most evil moments rival any TV villain,...

This article contains spoilers for season 1 of Shadow and Bone
Based on Leigh Bardugo’s Grishaverse novels, Netflix’s fantasy series Shadow and Bone is set in a world where a shadowy vale full of monsters known as The Fold divides the land. The country of Ravka suffers the most from this division. Not only is the country split in half by The Fold, but other countries like Fjerda and Shu-Han have used The Fold as an excuse to declare war on Ravka. Because of threats from The Fold and outside it, East and West Ravka put a lot of resources into their military – the First Army made up of humans and the Second Army made up of matter manipulators known as Grisha.

Contains Spoilers for Shadow and Bone
A young orphan woman with the power to summon the sun; her childhood best friend, a brave and tireless soldier willing to die for her; the all powerful ‘Darkling’ general who wants her to rule by his side – this is the love triangle at the centre of Netflix’s Shadow and Bone and it’s a suitably fizzy one.
But while the central plot, the political machinations, magic and the introduction of ‘The Fold’ are all key parts of what makes this show – an adaptation of Leigh Bardugo’s books – a compelling watch, by the end it’s a pointy-faced gangster with a limp who steals the show.
Kaz Brekker, played by Freddy Carter, is entirely lawless, motivated by money (but doesn’t have very much of it) and has no special powers. Even his gang – Inej (Amita Suman) the knife-expert, acrobat and master of stealth,...

Made by “Marcella” producer Buccaneer Media as an original for AMC’s BritBox rival Acorn TV, “Whitstable Pearl” has all the ingredients of a travel-friendly crime series with a female lead in a picturesque English town.
And while the six part, 45-minute series slots in neatly with the streamer’s other small town crime canon, including Cotswold’s based “Agatha Raisin” and “Queens of Mystery,” Buccaneer execs Tony Wood and Anna Burns were keen to give the seaside town of Whitstable a Scandinavian edge.
Enter Norwegian filmmaker Øystein Karlsen, whose writing/directing credits include hit dark comedy dramas “Dag,” “Exit” and “Lilyhammer,” who was duly drafted in to adapt Julie Wassmer’s series of seaside mystery novels.
Karlsen’s vision for the show, based on Wassmer’s stories, he says, was “a whodunit served on a bed of warm interpersonal drama sprinkled with black humor.”

CBS has decided not to pick up “The Red Line” for a second season, a person with knowledge of the situation told TheWrap on Friday.
When the drama was originally picked up it was not considered a limited series, but was later classified as such.
The series about a black doctor shot by a white cop in Chicago followed three very different families on their journey toward hope and healing after the tragedy connected them all.

In CBS’ eight-part limited series The Red Line, Wyle plays Daniel Calder, a high school history teacher mourning the death of his husband, Dr. Harrison Brennan, an African American man who is shot, while unarmed, by a white cop (played by Shameless‘ Noel Fisher).

For all that broadcast TV’s power has attenuated in recent years, what they choose to put on still means something — and, from a certain point of view, something more than the choices made by prestige outlets. After all, the reach of broadcasters is without parallel. They’re simply in that many more homes than prestige cablers and streamers, even as their peak audience (or even their audience five years ago) seems unattainable now.

The Musketeers delivers a bit of a misstep in this week's series 3 episode, The Queen's Diamonds...
This review contains spoilers.
3.4 The Queen's Diamonds
So far, the opening three episodes of this series have been good and at times, great, television. This year's run had yet to really put a foot wrong with all the themes and plot machinations seemingly leading us to an explosive finale. Then The Queens Diamonds comes along. And that, to be frank, is all a bit of a mess.
Written by Jeff Povey (who has a good catalogue of staple British shows to his name, including Midsomer Murders), he tells us the story of the Queen of England’s missing gems, a bit of Aramis backstory as well as an expansion on Sylvie’s treasonous meetings and her developing relationship with Athos. That looks a lot, even on paper and it’s unfortunate...

The Musketeers serves up the usual adventure thrills and romance with an additional moral about migrant persecution in The Hunger...
This review contains spoilers.
3.2 The Hunger
After a very encouraging, if not slightly overstuffed opener, we’re now onto the story proper as the reintroductions and in the case of the villains, introductions, have all been done. What I wanted from The Hunger was something to take the promise of that opener and really throw the Musketeers against the wall, preferably so hard that we start to get what the showrunners promised, a sense of real peril and danger to our heroes. That wasn’t to be, but that’s not to say that the instalment was a disappointment as this was a really effective ensemble episode for the Musketeers with a few nice character moments thrown in for good measure.
The Hunger’s principle job was very simple: further establish the new threat from Everett’s Feron and McNulty’s Grimaud. The plot had it all in that regard. Persecution of the weak and disaffected. Tick. Needless but-make-the-bad-guys-feel-good murder. Tick. Manipulation of the law and disregard for the King. Tick. Throw into this a much better week for Stokoe’s Captain Marcheaux whose presence last week suffered due to the sheer amount going on and it was all there for the taking. However a little like last week, it reached high, but just didn’t quite make it.
First the very good - it’s Feron’s and Grimaud’s show when it comes to menace and these two are starting to bookend nicely. Feron the string puller with Grimaud the enforcer. What’s nice to see is that this is no organ grinder and monkey relationship – Grimaud is very much his own man even though he takes orders from Feron. It’ll be interesting to understand just how their relationship works as there’s a sense that there’s a hidden debt to pay or repay. Everett was less over the top than last week, and was the better for it. His use of drugs to ease his pain and his self-admitted love of losing control is suitably in stark contrast to Grimaud’s focus and discipline, however Everett plays it with just the right amount of edge that leaves you unsure whether he’s any less or more dangerous when the drugs kick in. Grimaud’s unfortunately become a little more vocal rather than the straight-cut man of violence and action of last week. I suppose it was inevitable in some way as we need to be spoon-fed his motivations and feelings - but I had hoped that his actions would speak far louder (and that writers would have a little more faith in their audience).
It was very much the machinations of these two that’s the basis for the story – but then we get distracted. Not for the first time, The Musketeers tries valiantly to tack on more important issues to a sufficiently good enough plot and it just doesn’t quite get there. As this was an episode seemingly trying to flesh out Feron’s and Grimaud’s credentials as villains it was surprising that the bigger issue of migrant persecution was floating around to the point where it felt intrusive. Don’t get me wrong, themes of persecution and injustice are hefty issues but in The Hunger (yep, clue was in the title wasn’t it), they felt extraneous to the story. There were points, especially at the end that I felt Tim Curry was going to appear and say, ‘Migrant persecution, was just a red herring!’ (love that film…). It's understandable that they needed someone for the Musketeers to protect and take up the fight, but when looking back on the episode, the time spent with the refugees seems wasted when more could have been done to focus on the villains. After all – this is it for The Musketeers, every episode brings us one closer to the end and it’ll be the villains that will bring the drama and intensity. Unnecessarily diverting attention could make for an unsatisfactory finish. I will say this, Thallissa Teixeira’s Sylvie was damn good and added some much needed life (which reminds me, when did Porthos become so miserable – remember when he was the ‘joker’ of the crowd?). I’m hoping we haven’t seen the last of her.
What I did like was that this seemed very much an ensemble hour for the Musketeers. Each had their turn in the spotlight and each shone. We get much more sense of them as a group rather than individuals which is very much what they should be representing, their famous motto - after all - should be the guiding light on that one. Also for a relatively non-event episode it had a really nice pace to it as it seemed to rattle through the hour. This is important as we do need to remember that this is a show about adventure, thrills and romance and as long as that’s what’s served up then in my mind the show’s doing pretty well. I don’t think The Hunger proves me wrong on that account.

After a very encouraging, if not slightly overstuffed opener, we’re now onto the story proper as the reintroductions and in the case of the villains, introductions, have all been done. What I wanted from The Hunger was something to take the promise of that opener and really throw the Musketeers against the wall, preferably so hard that we start to get what the showrunners promised, a sense of real peril and danger to our heroes. That wasn’t to be, but that’s not to say that the instalment was a disappointment as this was a really effective ensemble episode for the Musketeers with a few nice character moments thrown in for good measure.
The Hunger’s principle job was very simple: further establish the new threat from Everett’s Feron and McNulty’s Grimaud. The plot had it all in that regard. Persecution of the weak and disaffected. Tick. Needless but-make-the-bad-guys-feel-good murder. Tick. Manipulation of the law and disregard for the King. Tick. Throw into this a much better week for Stokoe’s Captain Marcheaux whose presence last week suffered due to the sheer amount going on and it was all there for the taking. However a little like last week, it reached high, but just didn’t quite make it.
First the very good - it’s Feron’s and Grimaud’s show when it comes to menace and these two are starting to bookend nicely. Feron the string puller with Grimaud the enforcer. What’s nice to see is that this is no organ grinder and monkey relationship – Grimaud is very much his own man even though he takes orders from Feron. It’ll be interesting to understand just how their relationship works as there’s a sense that there’s a hidden debt to pay or repay. Everett was less over the top than last week, and was the better for it. His use of drugs to ease his pain and his self-admitted love of losing control is suitably in stark contrast to Grimaud’s focus and discipline, however Everett plays it with just the right amount of edge that leaves you unsure whether he’s any less or more dangerous when the drugs kick in. Grimaud’s unfortunately become a little more vocal rather than the straight-cut man of violence and action of last week. I suppose it was inevitable in some way as we need to be spoon-fed his motivations and feelings - but I had hoped that his actions would speak far louder (and that writers would have a little more faith in their audience).
It was very much the machinations of these two that’s the basis for the story – but then we get distracted. Not for the first time, The Musketeers tries valiantly to tack on more important issues to a sufficiently good enough plot and it just doesn’t quite get there. As this was an episode seemingly trying to flesh out Feron’s and Grimaud’s credentials as villains it was surprising that the bigger issue of migrant persecution was floating around to the point where it felt intrusive. Don’t get me wrong, themes of persecution and injustice are hefty issues but in The Hunger (yep, clue was in the title wasn’t it), they felt extraneous to the story. There were points, especially at the end that I felt Tim Curry was going to appear and say, ‘Migrant persecution, was just a red herring!’ (love that film…). It's understandable that they needed someone for the Musketeers to protect and take up the fight, but when looking back on the episode, the time spent with the refugees seems wasted when more could have been done to focus on the villains. After all – this is it for The Musketeers, every episode brings us one closer to the end and it’ll be the villains that will bring the drama and intensity. Unnecessarily diverting attention could make for an unsatisfactory finish. I will say this, Thallissa Teixeira’s Sylvie was damn good and added some much needed life (which reminds me, when did Porthos become so miserable – remember when he was the ‘joker’ of the crowd?). I’m hoping we haven’t seen the last of her.
What I did like was that this seemed very much an ensemble hour for the Musketeers. Each had their turn in the spotlight and each shone. We get much more sense of them as a group rather than individuals which is very much what they should be representing, their famous motto - after all - should be the guiding light on that one. Also for a relatively non-event episode it had a really nice pace to it as it seemed to rattle through the hour. This is important as we do need to remember that this is a show about adventure, thrills and romance and as long as that’s what’s served up then in my mind the show’s doing pretty well. I don’t think The Hunger proves me wrong on that account.

The Musketeers returns for its third and final series with a table-setting episode that introduces two deliciously bad new villains...
This review contains spoilers. Read our spoiler-free review, here.
3.1 Spoils Of War
The Musketeers are back for their final season and the show opens big, in every sense. Yes, it has an impressive-looking battle but it’s also big in the sense of its scope. This opener packs in an awful lot of elements as it ties up loose ends from the previous season, reintroduces us to the main characters and then sets out its stall for the season ahead. In sixty minutes that’s an ambitious ask and one that it almost manages to pull off as the inevitable scrum to pack it all in means that some parts feel a little rushed. Look no further than Aramis’ introduction which, given time and maybe pushed a little further into the season,...

The Musketeers returns for its third and final series on Saturday the 28th of May with a confident, entertaining opener...
If you're reading this than maybe you, like me, felt a Musketeer-shaped hole in the Beeb’s New Year line-up. Fortunately, there was no need to fear cancellation as it was always going to be a question of ‘when’, not ‘if’ as filming of the forthcoming season had been no secret. The question was, despite the wait, was this season going to be better than the last (which was pretty decent by anyone’s standards) and how were the showrunners going to keep things fresh?
Based on episode one of the new run, I can say with some confidence that the show seems to have grown in all the right ways.
It opens big and picks up from where the last season finished (albeit four years later...

The BBC won't make any more series of The Musketeers after the third and final ten-episode run, it's been confirmed...
Following creator and showrunner Adrian Hodges' candidly worded departure ("I was totally knackered") from The Musketeers after series two, it's been confirmed that Porthos, Aramis, Athos and D'Artagnan will be hanging up their swords following the third run.
Ten new episodes of the BBC One action and adventure series, due to return to screens shortly, will bring the story to a conclusion. Executive Producer Jessica Pope promises that series three "will delight its fans and pay off everything they have come to love about the show." No chance of a shock-cancellation cliff-hanger there then, at least.
Digital Spy has some goodbye messages from castmembers Luke Pasqualino, Howard Charles, Tom Burke and Santiago Cabrera, all of whom express their thanks to fans and appreciation at having been part of the show.

The BBC’s The Musketeers will have to cope without its showrunner Adrian Hodges for its already-confirmed third series…
Here’s an interesting one – Adrian Hodges, creator and showrunner for the BBC’s The Musketeers, won't be signing on for the third series.
A third run for the family-friendly historical action drama has already been confirmed by the BBC (we can expect it early next year, if previous broadcast dates are anything to go by), but Hodges has ruled himself out for a return.
Our friends at Geek Syndicate got the scoop on the matter, with a quote from the man himself explaining his reason for leaving his own show:
“I just felt that after the last season I was totally knackered. I love the show but it had been a very intensive two…well four years really and what I didn’t want to go was go straight into developing a new season.

The Musketeers creator Adrian Hodges has stepped down as showrunner ahead of the upcoming third series.
Hodges adapted Alexandre Dumas's novel for BBC One, but revealed to Geek Syndicate that he will not be back for the next run.
"I just felt that after the last season I was totally knackered," he said. "I love the show but it had been a very intensive two... well, four years really - and what I didn't want to do was go straight into developing a new season. I just didn't quite have the energy to do that."
BBC One was able to recommission The Musketeers thanks to financial backing from BBC Worldwide and BBC America, who also contributed to the first two series.
"The Musketeers has delighted audiences at home and around the world and we're thrilled that we've been able to financially support bringing a third series to the BBC,...
