You Can Look, But Don’t Touch-a-Touch-a-Touch…

Posted on 27/06/2013 by Dee CrowSeer

VP-Hell 2: The Softening?

Posted on 26/06/2013 by Dee CrowSeer

Although frequently hilarious, there was something slightly dispiriting about the first season of Veep, which (much like its British forebear, The Thick Of It) left me feeling slightly empty and depressed once the laughter had died down. Strangely, that wasn’t … Continue reading →

Miss-Management

Posted on 21/06/2013 by Dee CrowSeer

The FBI’s Most Unwanted 2: Belly Up!

Posted on 14/06/2013 by Dee CrowSeer

Put A (Pickled) Bird On It!

Posted on 09/06/2013 by Dee CrowSeer
