The Show

The plot is a Chandlerian shoal of red herrings but, like Moore's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen comics, no detail is accidental...

The Show is an unrepentantly trippy Noir that assaults the senses, cackling all the while.

Fun if perhaps a little too tongue-in-cheek for its own good, the results will no doubt appeal most to Moore fans who'll revel in his Byzantine plotting, noirish tropes and other signature elements.

A knowing but wilfully arcane take on the gumshoe thriller...

Uncompromising and divisive by design, this fantasy drama's off-kilter world is an acquired taste that's likely to turn off as many people as it pleases.

Northampton is as cinematic as it is strange, and nothing is quite as it seems, this could be one of the best things you'll see this year.

The Show still featured an entertaining cast of eccentric side characters, making it an exaggerated and unforgettable examination of life in Northampton.

Moore's Northampton may not be a safe place to be but it is a hell of a lot more interesting than the alternative

Much of the dialogue is stilted and the pace meanders far too easily, which might work in print but not on screen.

It's sharply well-made, and packed with terrific characters, but there's little going on under the gorgeous surface.
