Dawn of the Dumb: Dispatches from the Idiotic Frontline |
I enjoy Charlie Brooker's TV broadsides and expected to feel the same with these collected writings. And I did . . . at first. The problem with reading collected articles covering several years is that it shows how often he derides reality TV whilst appearing to be obsessed by it. Great for a dip into but concentrated bursts mean you are left wondering if he's less a maverick wildcard and more part of the process.
