Manners Maketh Man Since James Bond’s debut in 1962, a number of films have attempted to reinvent the spy genre or emulate the Bond formula with little luck. So how does latest spy movie Kingsman: The Secret Service fare? At face value, the film features a formulaic, cliched plot with a hilarious caricature of a villain but somehow Kingsman shines where others have failed. Juggling brutal violence and good humour, Director Matthew Vaughn manages to create a grounded spy movie sprinkled with English charm....

Little Flashbacks Everywhere After last week’s solid episode with plenty of interesting juxtapositions and inner turmoil, we return for a tumble through time for this flashback-heavy hour of drama. Although coming from polar opposite backgrounds, what’s particularly interesting here is how the two make a single decision that sets off a whole catalyst of issues that bring them stumbling into one another’s path. This episode fills in the blanks and although it does feel like a bit of a throwaway hour, given it goes over a lot of the information we already know, the excellent acting from our two young leads go some way to make up for that....

Tell Her As these episodes are released weekly on AppleTV, do be aware of spoilers within each recap! Episode 6 of Little Voice is where the proverbial brick wall comes tumbling down and all the foundational work is undone by some really questionable characterisation.
