starstarstarstarstarHollywood Con Queen review – a truly boring journey through an astonishing scam
The story of Hargobind Tahilramani, who is accused of multiple frauds against people in the film industry, would have made for a riveting hour of TV. Instead, it is stretched to 180 backside-numbing minutes - Lucy Mangan

starstarstarstarstarMiriam: Death of a Reality Star review – as grubby as the cruel show that ruined her life
As this documentary smugly rehashes the transphobia that made Miriam Rivera’s life hell – claiming it would never happen today – it becomes just as tawdry. Has TV learned nothing in the past 20 years? - Rachel Aroesti
starstarstarstarstarThe Veil review – Elisabeth Moss muddles through creaky spy series
The actor struggles with a distractingly unbelievable British accent in Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight’s tiresome espionage drama - Benjamin Lee
