Red Dwarf XI: episode 5 - Krysis

It is always tough when you go through a mid-life crisis, and even tougher when you are going through it while three million light years into deep space.

Red Dwarf XI Episode 5 review

The fifth episode of Red Dwarf XI is enjoyable enough, but perhaps the weakest of the season so far.

Red Dwarf XI: Krysis review

Red Dwarf delivers a surprisingly emotional episode that once again proves Doug Naylor and the gang still have the ability to surprise...

Red Dwarf XI Episode 4 review: Officer Rimmer

All in all, 'Officer Rimmer' is a fantastic character episode with some clever special effects, but its rather jarring ending means it isn't quite on the same level as last week's superlative 'Give and Take'.

Red Dwarf XI, episode 4 - Officer Rimmer review

The Red Dwarf crew has faced many horrors: emotion-sucking GELFs, rogue simulants, despair squids, evil versions of themselves, and have even witnessed Winnie-the-Pooh being shot by firing squad, but this time they face possibly the worst horror of all: Rimmer with power.

Red Dwarf XI episode 4 review: Officer Rimmer

Officer Rimmer is a hoot, an impressive technical feat and features some fantastically funny moments.

Red Dwarf XI Episode 3 review

The third episode of Red Dwarf's latest season might be the best so far of the show's Dave era.

Red Dwarf XI: episode 3, Give and Take review

It has to be said that this episode didn't seem as funny as last week's edition.

Red Dwarf review: Samsara

Unfortunately, "Samsara" just wasn't very satisfying or amusing to me. I find it puzzling that Doug Naylor is churning out episodes this lukewarm, which have presumably been percolating in his mind for years. There was a good idea at the heart of this episode, suffering from how it was put across to the audience, and maybe a couple of amusing lines, but this was very forgettable.
