Reviews for Sex Education:

• “…a tremendous Alistair Petrie” The Hollywood Reporter
• “A sweet, progressive British dramedy, Sex Education blends teen sex-romp tropes with a refreshing level of empathy.” Entertainment Weekly
• “Sex Education is destined to be Netflix teen show royalty.” Refinery 29
• “…snort-out-loud funny” Financial Times
• “Sex can, as Jean warns, destroy lives. But it can also provide the explicit, delicate subject matter for a standout new teen comedy like this one.” Rolling Stone
• “Sex Education” is a birds-and-bees comedy I’d endorse for both teenagers and parents of teenagers” The New York Times
• ” Here is a series that pulls off a curious trick: It’s a woke raunch comedy, replete with graphic and humiliating sexual experiences, yet bent on using them in a very sincere way.” The Atlantic

Alistair has been cast in Sex Education alongside Gillian Anderson and Asa Butterfield. The series will premiere next year.

• “If you’ve been waiting for the latest piece of genre obsession by way of prestige TV, get ready for The Terror” Collider
• “”AMC’s The Terror – a very lavishly and meticulously produced historical drama that blends fact with a fiction, taking a few supernatural liberties where vast swaths of unknown live and gaps in knowledge reside – is off to a good, though icy (pun intended), start” IGN
• “So it’s worth raising a glass of your best, oldest brandy to AMC’s new miniseries The Terror an effective and fascinating blend of horror and historical drama, which manages to generate considerable suspense and horror in a format that seems designed to undercut it.” GQ
• “AMC’s The Terror is a near masterpiece of survival horror” Vox
• “One of the most harrowing things about The Terror is just how human all of these characters are.” Vulture
• “Immersive and atmospheric, “The Terror” is the kind of voyage that the limited-series format allows, a 10-episode quest into the unknown that crafts a supernatural flight from a historical footnote.” CNN
• “Any series with a title like The Terror has certain expectations baked in: dissonant music, jump scares, a monster of the week, perhaps. Remarkably, AMC’s new series has none of the above yet it’s still perhaps the most terrifying show to air in recent memory.” Vanity Fair
• “The Terror can be scary, but it’s real achievement is climatological. The freeze is tangible. When you watch it, wear a sweater” Entertainment Weekly 
• “The best news, then, about AMC’s The Terror is this: The series never bests Simmons’s book, but it is powerfully, pleasurably harrowing in its own right.” The Village Voice
• “Executive-produced by Ridley Scott, this eerie retelling of what might have happened to the crew of a doomed expedition boasts a scary start” The Guardian
