Why Black Mirror Creator Charlie Brooker Won’t Watch This Hit TV Show

Posted on 09/04/2025 by Boris Clair

Black Mirror season seven is set to hit Netflix soon (April 10).

You might associate creator Charlie Brooker with the series – but he’s also worked on other shows like the BBC series Weekly Wipe, which included reviews of TV shows, news events, and games.

It showed how much of a telly fan the writer and executive producer really is, which makes his admission to The Hollywood Reporter, that he “hasn’t let himself” watch a hit show, pretty notable.

“There’s certainly a show I haven’t watched that’s made me jealous,” he revealed.

“People keep telling me to watch Severance, and I haven’t let myself do it because they also say to me, ‘Oh, you’ll love it. It’s a bit Black Mirror-y, but it’s much better.’”

The Apple TV+ hit, which involves people who have “severed” their minds to cut their working selves off from their out-of-hours consciousness, certainly shares the Netflix show’s eerie sci-fi feel – but Charlie need not be jealous.

Not least because Severance’s creator, Dan Erickson, told The New York Times in 2022 that a 2014 Black Mirror episode actually inspired a Severance plot.

Erickson said that White Christmas, an episode in which characters are trapped in an eternal loop (not unlike Severance’s ‘innies’), left him feeling “so cold and afraid after seeing that, this devastating idea of having to experience this endless solitude”.

He added that this is linked to the season one scene in which Helly R tries to escape the severed floor.

“It’s this nightmare of running out a door and then you’re just running back in, and you realise you’re truly stuck in this liminal space with this kind of nightmare logic,” he said.

Aimee Lou Wood Names The 1 White Lotus Cast Member Who’s Least Like Their Character

Posted on 07/04/2025 by Boris Clair

Aimee Lou Wood has revealed there is one member of the White Lotus season three cast who isn’t anything like their character.

During a recent interview with BuzzFeed, the Bafta winner spoke about White Lotus showrunner Mike White’s strong intuition when it came to casting actors who have something in common with the characters he’s created.

She explained: “Even if the behaviour isn’t the same, and the circumstances, Mike does tend to cast actors through his incredible intuition that share an essence with their character.”

“Except for Patrick,” Aimee quickly added, referring to co-star Patrick Schwarzenegger. “Patrick is not Saxon. In any way, shape or form.”

“Michelle [Monaghan is] not very Jaclyn, either, actually,” Aimee continued. “But I would say that Patrick is the most far away from his character.

“But the rest of us? There is something there that is shared. Which is why it can start to get a little bit claustrophobic and a little bit vulnerable.”

Similarly, Carrie Coon recently told TheWrap about how far apart Patrick is from his White Lotus alter-ego.

“I tell everyone he’s not a douchebag, because they just assume he’s like that!” Carrie explained. He’s not like that at all – you don’t understand. He’s playing a character.

“He makes me laugh out loud – I love [Saxon], I hate [Saxon].”

White Lotus Star Walton Goggins Has Complicated Feelings About Chelsea And Rick’s ‘Love Story’

Posted on 07/04/2025 by Boris Clair

Warning: This article contains major spoilers for the fourth season of The White Lotus.

The White Lotus star Walton Goggins is celebrating the doomed romance at the centre of this year’s season.

Season three concluded with a bumper-length finale in which both Walton’s character, Rick, and his girlfriend, Chelsea (played by Aimee Lou Wood), were killed in a mass shooting at the luxury Thai resort.

Rick and Chelsea’s relationship has already been one of the most divisive aspects of the current season – and the fact that his actions ultimately led to her death (despite her pleading with him to not “do anything stupid” shortly before the shooting began) looks set to only exacerbate these discussions.

Posting on Instagram in the early hours of Monday morning, Walton shared his take on the relationship.

“Rick + Chelsea. With the heaviest of hearts,” he began. “To me, ours was a love story.

“It was only ever a love story, hindered by unresolved, childhood trauma. We all have them… but can we move past them.

“In the depths of our despair there is always beauty around us. If we can sit with our pain, just sit with it… not react… not be defined by it… it’s there… the love the world is constantly giving in any given moment is there. Always waiting for us to see it… Trust me I know.”

Walton went on to thank White Lotus creator Mike White “for your imagination, your tender heart, for the privilege of giving us the opportunity to tell it”, co-star Aimee “for being my partner” on “a journey I will never forget”, and Sam Rockwell (who he dubbed “Sammy Rock”) “for being the best wing man a fella could ask for”.

After paying homage to the rest of the cast and crew, Walton ended his post with a quote from the Greek tragedist Aeschylus, which read: “Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.”

Interestingly, Mike White previously compared Chelsea and Rick’s love story to a Greek tragedy in a behind-the-scenes video posted online after the episode aired.

“It’s a classic theme of Greek tragedy, somebody killing the thing that they love by trying to get some revenge,” Mike claimed.

Walton’s post sparked a big reaction from some of his co-stars, with Patrick Schwarzenegger commenting that he’d been moved to tears, and Michelle Monaghan writing simply: “This quote.”

Before the finale aired, Walton also posted some candid behind-the-scenes photos, telling his followers: “We all were invited to this party… and we partied our asses off. It was a collective experience, an individual experience… an experience of real growth I believe for us all. Certainly it was for me.

“I think we all lost our minds willingly or otherwise somewhere along the way. I know I did. It was a wild ride. In the pantheon. What a time. Last lap tonight.”

All three seasons of The White Lotus are now available to stream on Sky and Now in the UK.

Patrick Schwarzenegger Shares His Take On The White Lotus’ Most ‘Insane’ Sex Scene Yet

Posted on 24/03/2025 by Boris Clair

This article contains major spoilers for the latest episode of The White Lotus.

Patrick Schwarzenegger has weighed in on the outrageous scene in this week’s episode of The White Lotus.

In what’s sure to become one of the Emmy-winning series’ most talked-about moments ever, the latest instalment of The White Lotus saw one of the Ratliff brothers performing a sexual act on his brother after a night of partying.

The episode picks up the following morning, with both Patrick Schwarzenegger and Sam Nivola’s characters having flashbacks to what went on between them as the day unfolds.

Speaking to Screen Rant, Patrick said that this marks a turning point and a moment when everything “definitely switches” for his character, Saxon.

Asked how he reacted when he first read the script, he admitted: “It was a page-turner. I was waiting to see what was going to happen – and then when I read that, my mouth was kind of on the floor.

“I knew a little bit [about what to expect between the brothers], because during some of the audition scenes, it had some references to some stuff.”

He then recalled: “I remember reading it for the first time with my fiancée. We read it out loud and then I looked and was like, ‘did that say what I thought it said?’. But yeah, it’s a hilarious, absurd, insane scene.”

Patrick went on to describe the moment as a “total power shift for him and his character”.

“He’s on the other side of what he would be doing to someone else before,” he claimed. “And, it’s something that totally changes him. He’s totally flustered, it’s this kind of internal conflict.”

In a separate video feature for HBO, Patrick said that at the beginning of the episode, “what I’m feeling that morning is total confusion, disgust of myself and just like curiosity of what that means for everything that I stand for. It definitely changes the dynamic.”

He continued: “Saxon is always the dominant one, but there’s definitely a sense of [him] being more insecure – and Chelsea and Chloe [Aimee Lou Wood and Charlotte Le Bon’s characters], they start to bully him.”

This Is How Ashley Walters ‘Screwed Up’ 1 Take Of Adolescence Halfway Through

Posted on 17/03/2025 by Boris Clair

Ashley Walters had a bit of an on-set nightmare while filming the Netflix drama Adolescence, which required everyone to go back to square one.

Much has already been made about Adolescence’s unique filming style, which saw each hour-long episode of the hard-hitting drama being recorded in one continuous shot.

To accommodate this, both the cast and crew were put through weeks of rehearsals, with each episode being filmed straight-through, twice a day, over the period of a week.

On Monday morning, Stephen Graham and his wife Hannah Walters – both of whom worked as executive producers on Adolescence, while Stephen was also its co-writer and one of its stars – paid a visit to Radio X, where they were asked about how it all worked.

“Why would you do that?” host Chris Moyles asked of the straight-through technique. “Because what if you’re 53 minutes in and someone goes, ‘John… Bob… Oh, God damn it…’?”

Stephen responded: “Well, that’s the risk that you take, isn’t it?”

Chris then asked: “What if you’re, like, halfway through and someone goes, ‘Stephen… I mean…’.”

“That happened!” Stephen teased, with Hannah confirming: “It happened in Ashley’s episode. Ashley screwed up.”

“Oh you’ve grassed him up,” Stephen then remarked, to which she insisted: “He won’t mind me saying!”

Since Adolescence’s release, Netflix has shared plenty of behind-the-scenes tidbits about how it was made – including what happened when the cast and crew made mistakes.

Last week, Ashley admitted that he’d already been through one major headache before production had even begun, when he turned up to set with a sports injury after an impromptu basketball game with his daughter.

“I took it for granted,” Ashley revealed. “I’m not gonna lie. Because I wanted to do the one-shot process so much.

“And I turned up to set with a bad back, by the way. My back had gone.”

He even went as far as saying “it nearly didn’t happen” for him, were it not for a last-minute appointment with a chiropractor who was able to sort him out.

The Chris Moyles Show Radio X airs every weekday from 6.30am on Radio X and Global Player. All four episodes of Adolescence are available to stream now on Netflix.

This Brilliant Moment From Adolescence Episode 3 Wasn’t Actually In The Script

Posted on 17/03/2025 by Boris Clair

Because of everything that went into Adolescence, the gripping new Netflix drama in which each episode was filmed in one continuous shot, it’s been well-documented that months of planning was required before shooting could actually begin.

However, that doesn’t mean that there wasn’t room for improvisation once the cameras did start rolling.

Speaking to Variety, director Philip Barantini revealed that during episode three – which sees Jamie being analysed by a child psychologist – teen actor Owen Cooper surprised everyone once he really got inside of his character’s mindset.

“Owen’s such a lovely kid so to get him to really go there and be really nasty and horrible to this character, it wasn’t in his nature initially to do that,” Barantini explained.

“So, there were moments in that episode where, during the rehearsals, I kept on saying: ‘go further, go mad, you hate her, scream at her, get it all out’. Obviously he’d never had to do that before, so he had to go there and realise the level he could take it.”

He continued: “There was one moment in one take, which I never asked him to do, where he’s talking to Erin [Doherty] and the camera’s on him and he just starts yawning.

“Everyone behind the camera was going, ‘oh my god, he’s never done that before!’ Erin being Erin just said to him, ‘I’m sorry, am I boring you?’. And he had this cheeky smile on his face.”

Owen also spoke about the improvised moment during an interview on The One Show last week.

“It was the second take and, you know, I was tired so a yawn came to me,” he explained.

“Then Erin did an amazing line, she said, ‘Am I boring you?’. So, that took me back and it made me smile, because it wasn’t in the script. I wasn’t expecting that at all, so it took me back a little bit, but it was amazing.”

All four episodes of Adolescence are now available to stream on Netflix.

Adolescence: How Did The Netflix Drama Pull Off Its Incredible One-Shot Technique?

Posted on 16/03/2025 by Boris Clair

There are a few things that look set to make Adolescence one of 2025’s most talked-about new shows – namely, its unsettling subject matter and the incredible performances from its predominantly British cast.

But there’s one other factor that sets Adolescence apart, too.

Much like another of Stephen Graham’s recent hits, the 2021 film Boiling Point, each episode of the chilling Netflix crime drama is filmed in one continuous shot, giving the whole show a relentless, claustrophobic feel.

And if you were wondering – no, there’s no trickery at play here. Every episode really was one filmed in one long shot which, as you can imagine, required some imaginative thinking from Adolescence’s creative team.

“Basically, that means we press record on the camera and we don’t press stop until the very end of the hour,” director Philip Barantini told Netflix. “But it’s much more complicated than it sounds.

“It takes months of preparation and weeks of rehearsals and an incredible team of people to pull it off at every stage, from the script to the locations to the production design to where exactly the camera is going to be able to shoot and from what angle.”

So, how exactly did Adolescence pull off that impressive one-shot technique on all four episodes?

Because of the show’s unique filming style, months of meticulous planning went into making sure everything the team wanted to include would be achievable in a one-take style.

“A really fun day was working out how long the car ride takes from the house to the police station and walking that route,” co-writer Jack Thorne recalled to Deadline of just how fine the details had to be.

Barantini previously helmed Boiling Point, so he was no stranger to using long singular shots as a device.

However, where Boiling Point all took place under one roof, Adolescence was much more ambitious in its scale.

“The difference was we wrote Boiling Point with the location in mind so we would sit in a restaurant and write scripts,” he added. “This time it was all in Jack’s head then I’d have to go away and find these locations.”

According to the LA Times, the rehearsal process lasted three weeks for each episode.

First, the cast would rehearse on location for a full week, after which cameras would be incorporated to make sure everyone involved in the process knew where they needed to be at each moment.

After that, for the final week, the cast would film two long continuous takes a day over a five-day period, resulting in 10 takes for each episode.

Thorne would also need to be on-hand in the event that the planned dialogue or other details included in the original script didn’t quite work in the one-take style depicted on screen.

What challenges were there to overcome when doing each episode of Adolescence in one shot?

Well, it required cinematographer Matt Lewis and camera operator Lee David Brown to work closely together throughout the shoot (Stephen Graham compared their collaboration to a “ballet” to the LA Times), often passing the camera between them mid-scene to get everything right.

Stephen Graham co-created and co-wrote Adolescence, as well as playing one of its leading roles

Of that gripping opening scene, Barantini told The Guardian: “When the episode starts, my cinematographer Matt is holding the camera. As we’re filming the actors in the car, the camera’s being attached to a crane. The car drives off, and the crane follows.

“While this is happening, Matt has gone in another car, driven ahead and jumped out so he can take the camera into the house. When we come back out of the house, the other camera operator Lee is sat in the custody van.

“Matt would pass Lee the camera, so now Lee’s got the camera while Matt drives ahead to the police station, so he’s ready to take the camera when we go inside.”

Thorne also told Deadline: “The cinematographers thought a chase scene I had written would look like a computer game and instead I got this call from Phil who said, ‘Imagine if the cameras could fly’.

“So, we strapped a camera to a drone that took off over traffic lights and then suddenly you’re at the murder scene. Emotionally it kicks you in the stomach.”

Impressive stuff, right?

The question is… why on earth would the Adolescence team want to put themselves through such an arduous filming experience in the first place?

For Barantini, he said the one-shot device means viewers are more likely to be hooked by what’s going on onscreen.

“What the one-shot does is makes you sit up and you can’t take your eyes off it, because if you do blink for a second you miss something. It draws the audience in,” he told Radio Times.

“It’s like going to a play. If you go to a play, you can’t be on your phone, yeah? And so you’ve got to pay attention to everything.”

Similarly, Thorne told Deadline: “The camera doesn’t blink in this show and by being unblinking it allows for a certain rawness and honesty.

“The inability to cut away, the idea that all four episodes are partial, that allows you to tell a more complex story than if we were able to be inside the justice system.”

He added: “What has resulted is a piece that uses the technical to unlock the emotional.”

All four episodes of Adolescence are available to stream now on Netflix.

Jennifer Coolidge Has 4 Words For Anyone Hoping To See Her Return To The White Lotus

Posted on 05/03/2025 by Boris Clair

Warning: This article contains major spoilers for the first two seasons of The White Lotus.

Jennifer Coolidge has made it clear we shouldn’t get our hopes up about seeing her back on The White Lotus in the future.

The Legally Blonde star has been enjoying a huge career renaissance since she started playing Tanya in the hit US anthology series, as evidenced by her wins at the Emmys, Golden Globes, Critics’ Choice Awards and SAG Awards in the past few years.

Given that Tanya was killed off in the season two finale, it’s perhaps no surprise that the third iteration of The White Lotus has been the first not to feature Jen – although that hasn’t stopped fans from coming up with ways she could be shoehorned into a future season.

One popular suggestion has seen some White Lotus viewers claiming that Jennifer could play Tanya’s twin sister in a future season of The White Lotus, though she downplayed this idea during a recent interview with Forbes.

“Look, it’s not like I haven’t wished or whatever, but it isn’t happening,” she insisted. “It doesn’t matter.”

Jennifer then added: “They don’t need me.”

She also heaped praise on The White Lotus creator Mike White, who is also her personal friend, claiming he can “tell a story better than anybody”.

Although Jennifer’s character does not appear in the current series of The White Lotus, her presence is still very much felt thanks to the return of Jon Gries, who played Tanya’s love interest in the first two seasons.

“I hope he gets it!” Jennifer added during her Forbes interview. “I hope they do something terrible to him.”

Jon isn’t the only returning star in the new batch of episodes, though, with Natasha Rothwell reprising the role of Belinda, who had her own run-ins with Tanya during the show’s inaugural run.

The White Lotus continues on Monday on Sky and Now in the UK.

Ted Lasso Toppled As Apple TV+’s Most-Watched Original Show

Posted on 21/02/2025 by Boris Clair

Ted Lasso has officially been dethroned as the jewel in Apple TV+’s crown.

Until this week, the Emmy-winning comedy had been the most-watched original show on Apple’s streaming service.

However, it’s now been bested by the return of Severance.

Earlier this week, Deadline reported that Severance had become the platform’s most-watched show ever, following its season two premiere last month.

Reacting to the news on X, executive producer and director Ben Stiller said: “Thank you everyone who waited for season 2 and those who have just discovered the show.

“Your incredible connection and dedication to the characters and details has been so wonderful to share. We all appreciate it so much.”

Apple’s head of programming Matt Cherniss also enthused: “We have long admired Ben’s extraordinary gift for original and immersive storytelling, and with he and Dan at the helm, Severance has proven to be an extraordinary success and a cultural phenomenon.

“The series has become an obsession for audiences all over the world and we can’t wait for people to continue to experience all the masterful twists and turns as the rest of the season unfolds.”

Although Ted Lasso came to an end in 2023, it may still have time to claim its record back.

Over the summer, reports claimed that Ted Lasso could be making a comeback, after several of its cast members’ contracts were renewed.

While this remains unconfirmed by Apple, supporting actor Nick Mohammad fuelled the rumours last month, when he revealed he was postponing several live shows due to scheduling issues, while making several subtle nods to Ted Lasso.

People Are Just Noticing This Connection Between The White Lotus Season 3 And Another Hit Show

Posted on 20/02/2025 by Boris Clair

Just one episode into the new season, and fan theories about what’s next for The White Lotus are already starting to flood in thick and fast.

Meanwhile, some fans have already pointed out a connection between the award-winning series and another hit US show.

Episode one of The White Lotus’ third season introduced us to the Ratliffs, a wealthy Southern family headed up by Parker Posey and Jason Isaacs, with Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sam Nivola and Sarah Catherine Hook playing their on-screen children.

It didn’t take long for some viewers of the satirical comedy-drama to pick up that the surname “Ratliff” appeared in another show that originated on the US broadcaster HBO.

Colin Firth as Michael Peterson in The Staircase

Back in 2022, The Staircase was adapted into a true crime drama series headed up by Colin Firth and Toni Collette.

The original documentary told the story of Michael Peterson, a writer who was initially convicted of murdering his wife Kathleen, only for the charge to be reduced to manslaughter seven years later after he submitted an Alford plea, after which he was freed.

In the drama – and, indeed, in real life – Peterson’s adopted daughters, played by Sophie Turner and Odessa Young, had the somewhat unusual surname Ratliff, which did not go unnoticed by White Lotus fans when the show’s new family members were introduced.

The similarities don’t end there, though, as the Ratliff family are revealed to be from Durham, North Carolina, the same Southern city in which the events depicted in The Staircase played out.

Oh, and then there’s the fact that two of the actors in the new season of The White Lotus – Parker Posey and Patrick Schwarzenegger – also appeared in the dramatised version of the original documentary The Staircase.

Exactly what this means remains to be seen, although some fans have their suspicions…
