OK, then, quickly …Adaptation: The Handmaid’s Tale (just, over Patrick Melrose, because of the nerve it hit).And it is better than everIn the paragraph about bloody brilliant shows above, a lot are quite recent, and that is not just down to my memory issues. This absolutely is a 24-carat golden age, particularly for drama, but also for documentaries, comedy, everything. To the nostalgic, rose-tinted specs-wearers, I challenge you to watch The Jewel in the Crown or Brideshead Revisited next to Patrick Melrose or A Very English Scandal and tell me TV was better then. Look at the actors and the writers that TV attracts: Hugh Grant and David Nicholls. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2018/sep/13/passing-the-remote-what-ive-learned-in-14-years-as-the-guardians-tv-reviewer?CMP=share_btn_tw
