"OR NOT"

- Marseille (Netflix/TF1): 

Oh dear... On May 12, TF1 aired Episodes 1 and 2 of the first Netflix original French series. Preceded by a (deserved) bad reputation and drowned in its pretension, it couldn't even be bearable as its own parody. We left in the middle of the second episode.

- A Midsummer Night's Dream (BBC One):

Star-studded adaptation of William Shakespeare's play by Russell T. Davies, revered scriptwriter and former showrunner of Doctor Who. Most regrettably we didn't like it, except for Nonso Anozie (amazing as Oberon).
