    This was not the documentary about the British High Street shopping chain I was hoping for. Nor, disappointingly, is it based on the Michael Crichton book of the same name. It kind of fits into a fluffy, disposable, tv scifi genre where it'll be okay for one series and then get cancelled in the middle of season 2. I quite enjoyed it. I hid my Alexa speaker in the cupboard afterwards!

    So far, "NEXT" is kind of cool too. But the real challenge will be in sustaining this battle of humans against a machine, without taking a turn that careens off a cliff.

    That's the key to Next: the vastness and invisibility of an enemy that's woven itself into our world with insidious intent, not unlike Joe McCarthy's communists or Don Siegel's pods.

    Slattery elevates the pulp melodrama with crisp, ironic detachment. [12 - 25 Oct 2020, p.9]
