Russell T Davies is best known for taking audiences on adventures across time and space in the TARDIS. With Tip Toe, he takes viewers somewhere far more complex and often scarier, ordinary suburbia. The five-part series, now on Starz follows two Manchester neighbors (Alan Cumming & David Morrissey), a gay bar owner and a conservative electrician whose relationship turns poisonous amid rising bigotry, online radicalization, and layers of secrecy and underlying fears.

The first question that popped into my head when hearing that a remake series version of the Stephen King classic novel, Carrie, was being made was: why? We’ve had several versions of the story before, the original ultimately holds up exceptionally well, while the rest had essentially been forgotten over time. There’s an answer to that question, and that answer is Mike Flanagan.
