It’s oh so quiet, as Bjork famously sang. What’s going on with Dead Pixel Test? Trust me, going silent absolutely doesn’t relate to watching less TV.
I’ve been busy with a new project and writing over at WhyNow, a culture website with a decidedly British twist. So, for the time being, find me there instead, writing TV features and lists of shows you might have missed. Basically Dead Pixel Test but flashier.
Good stuff already waiting for you includes:
A deep-dive into Squid Game‘s enormous success despite the UK’s complicated and divisive relationship with subtitled dramas.
A list of the shows you missed in October while you were speed-learning Korean because of Squid Game, including the masterful Midnight Mass which has gone right to the top of my Shows of 2021 list. Hey, Fleabag, this is how you write a sexy priest.
A list of shows you might have missed in November including Doctor Who, Cowboy Bebop and omg you guys Games Master is back! Pop them on your personal telly list to catch-up with over the Christmas break.
Thank you for all your support over the years. I love writing here and will continue to do so in the New Year when I can. Wishing you a cosy Christmas with plenty of time to kick-back and catch-up on quality TV. Remember; there are no guilty pleasures, especially given the long, slow, boring apocalypse we’re collectively living through. There are only pleasure. Go, enjoy yourselves.
