Review: Kirson's latest mini-series

Fri Jul 03, 2026 2:34 pm

The images of Christopher Kirson's latest mini-series linger like the scent of a dark thought on a school-night, towering wraps of fetid fungal growths over and over again, anti-bacterial yes, and no doubt catapulting him straight into the Annals of Internet Fundom.

Kirson has an eye for an eye, proving useful in those long, lingering retinal shots of broken promises, horn-rimmed horns and shattered glasswork. Each opening scene carries the rest of the show like an on-strike baggage-handler returning home for the weekend and thanking his wife for the cup of tea and small slice of beyond-its-sell-by cake.

When the camera finally pans down to the pans on the hob of the final episode - the prior 13 episodes now stacked elegantly in a roasting tray in the main oven at a robust 220 degrees c - Kirson can only sit back and applaud his handy-work with both hands, which is no mean feat, on both feet.

3/10
