Suffice it to say, this is a comedy with the nutritional value of a jelly doughnut. .... It’s a show to be watched while drinking beer and belching out loud. Judged in that way, it’s a winner.

For all its murky longueurs, Silo is a show full of ambitious and fascinating ideas.

Mostly, with its steel-grey palette, and without any quotable "I have a special set of skills"-style nonsense despite the prevailing absurdity of the plot, I Will Find You feels clinically efficient.

The series is mostly slow-paced and intricate. .... It's one of those dramas with a sleek, business-class feel that you can sink into if you're prepared to make the effort.

All of this unfolds like a kind of heatwave fever dream, the cicadas buzzing incessantly, oblivious bystanders to the mad psychodrama unfolding around them. It’s gripping late-night summer viewing.

If this is the more slow-burn sibling to For All Mankind, it’s one that gradually draws you in for something perhaps even more satisfying altogether. English accents and all.

He [Nick Cave] talks fondly of the pop star as a “beam of light” and “the definition of joy”. The series gives you every sense of what he means.

Such tonal shifts make Katie Dippold’s show one peculiar barrel of fish, much in the way that Atlanta or Barry were uncategorisable (Hiro Murai, this show’s director, also worked on those). Which means, I suspect, just as many will find it frustrating as will applaud it for being like nothing else around.

What follows is an unpredictable, if ultimately melodramatic psychological drama motored by dark manipulations.

By the final couple of episodes, when the action pinballs to South Korea, things have veered from unpredictable to near-deranged.But let’s not quibble too much. When it’s being funny (such as Austin’s blagging as he fakes it as a physical therapist), being perceptive about neediness and dissatisfaction within a long-term relationship, or being simply downright entertaining in the country club, this beef can still be something rare and delicious.
