This article begins by talking about the TV series' genre, conventions, however doing so in a critical way, commenting that it is something you'll have seen before. After his introduction the writer develops into revealing further details such as name dropping the actors as well as their characters and the roles they have in the series. Contradictory to his initial reflection on the series, the journalist goes on to commend the scriptwriter, and leave the reader wanting to find out more.
Ben Lawrence, the journalist of this review uses comedy and relaxed language to interact with the reader on a more personal and relatable level. 'Taboo' is introduced using a question which draws the reader in and makes them think about the drama. By describing the programmes characters and using Tom Hardy's well known name Lawrence educates his readers as to the series' and helps them understand it. He also name drops Steven Knight, and other work he has directed, such as the renowned Peaky Blinders. To conclude the review Lawrence finishes much the same way as he started, humour.
What I've learnt from this research:
I have learnt that my writing in an informal way I can form an intimate relationship with the reader and therefore make them more likely to watch the program that is being reviewed.
This is a good observation to make and will hopefully show through in the article you produce.
