Val Guest’s cinema quest for his own semi-docu style pays off in this fine, intelligent police investigation into a gruesome dismemberment murder. U.K. favorite Jack Warner is the main detective, Guest’s actress wife Yolande Donlan is a ‘person of interest,’ and the illusion of reality is enhanced by real locations in Greenwich, Brighton, Lewes and points between. It’s an excellent legwork murder mystery, with good atmosphere and colorful characterizations — within the dry ‘serious business’ format, of course.

George Dixon, global editorial director for BBC Studios, has left the producer-distributor after six years, Variety has confirmed.
The executive, who is expected to leave formally in October, led on editorial for BBC Studios’ commercial linear and non-linear global services such as BBC Earth and BBC First. He also took the editorial lead in integrating commercial broadcaster UKTV’s channels within the BBC Studios portfolio, following the carve-up of UKTV after joint owners BBC Studios and Discovery split up the channels group in June 2019.
It’s believed Dixon’s exit comes as all acquisitions and editorial compliance for BBC Studios’ global brands and UKTV channels become streamlined under one leadership team.
Within the U.K., BBC Studios is combining the remit of its acquisitions teams for the U.K. region and UKTV under the leadership of Adrian Wills, while global compliance for the U.K. Region and UKTV teams will...

With a cold war, a power play, and a rebellion all brewing, The Man in the High Castle has reframed the conflict in a compelling premiere.

This review contains spoilers for The Man in the High Castle.
The Man in the High Castle Season 3 Episode 1
We may have had to wait almost an extra year for The Man in the High Castle season 3, but it appears to have been worth the wait. Similarly, the passage of time within the story helped the principal characters shift into roles that are both new and familiar to viewers who enjoyed season one. Juliana Crane and Joe Blake in particular feel much more true to their original selves than they did last year, and the addition of a Neutral Zone storyline gives us hope that we’ll see more of that third culture in the coming season. A fortuitous start!
Even Abendsen makes more sense now!
