Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011)
The best spy film ever made
I've watched it at least 10 times now and I must say it's become a bit of an obsession. The sets, the music, the mis en scene, the acting - particularly Gary Oldman's subtle expressions and incredible depth of character - and the casting is so perfect and the direction so flawless! It's mind-boggling. Such an incredible ensemble of actors telling a tale of absolute horror with restraint and only a while after watching it do you appreciate the quiet heroism of Smiley. I can't fault it.
Star Trek: Discovery (2017)
Not a cliche in sight
It's rare to find a tv series which has me itching for the next episode and Discovery does just that. It's even rarer to have such original and brilliant concepts as run through this show and sci-fi must be the hardest genre to keep free of the tedious cliches which infect most popular entertainment. The writing is brave and heartfelt the characters rounded and engaging the direction is gripping. I love this show - it's the only thing worth watching and in a league of its own.
