About this season
While other critics waste time with trivial matters such as film, food or art, one man dares to review all facets of life - our experiences, our emotions, our deepest, darkest desires - to rate them out of five stars. Myles Barlow is prepared to go through it before you have to. Join Myles as he lives out the harrowing effects of being a murderer, the rush of pleasure as he pays for sex, the bleakness of living on the streets and many more challenging moments from life's rich tapestry.
