Editorial Review

Beast Games arrives less as a conventional game show and more as a scaled-up experiment in spectacle. Created and hosted by Jimmy Donaldson, the series gathers hundreds of contestants into a sequence of high-stakes challenges, all competing for a record-setting cash prize.

The format is simple but amplified to extremes: rapid eliminations, massive sets, and constant escalation. Early episodes emphasize scale over individuality, presenting contestants as a shifting crowd rather than deeply developed personalities. It’s only later that the show begins to slow down enough for viewers to connect with specific players.

Tonally, Beast Games balances exuberance with unease. Donaldson’s upbeat, reward-driven style keeps the energy high, but the competitive structure—often requiring sacrifice or split-second decisions—adds a sharper emotional edge. The result can feel both generous and oddly impersonal at the same time.

What makes the show notable is its underlying philosophy: attention above all. It translates the pacing and intensity of online video into a streaming format, prioritizing immediacy, scale, and constant stimulation over subtle storytelling.

For viewers, Beast Games is undeniably compelling as spectacle. But it also raises a quiet question—whether bigger and faster competition truly deepens the experience, or simply redefines it.

Dept. Q

DCI Carl Morck is a brilliant cop but a terrible colleague. His razor-sharp sarcasm has made him no friends in Edinburgh police. After a shooting that leaves a young PC dead, and his partner paralysed, he finds himself exiled to the basement and the sole member of Department Q; a newly formed cold case unit. The department is a PR stunt, there to distract the public from the failures of an under-resourced, failing police force that is glad to see the back of him. But more by accident than design, Carl starts to build a gang of waifs and strays who have everything to prove. So, when the stone-cold trail of a prominent civil servant who disappeared several years ago starts to heat up, Carl is back doing what he does best - rattling cages and refusing to take no for an answer.
