Stage set for laughs
The Festival (15)
The team behind The Inbetweeners continue to show a knack for tickling the funnybone – but this falls short of their finest work.
Joe Thomas and Hammed Animashaun are fun co-leads and the festival-set debauchery flows thick and fast. However, it takes too long to get going and the story beats are overly familiar.
The Affair Season 4 (15)
Many will wonder how this drama has mustered four seasons, but this fourth run is arguably the best yet.
It’s a show that’s always touched on difficult subject matters and there’s a lot of emotional turmoil to process across the episodes.
The cast are top notch, particularly a neverbetter Maura Tierney.
