Noughts + Crosses' existence feels apt at a time in which racist discourse is increasingly normalised in the shadow of Trump and Brexit. And is it bad to take pleasure in the hernias it will induce in certain right-wing, BBC-bashing commentators?

Noughts + Crosses has everything going for it. A great young cast. An exciting plot. A cameo from Stormzy.
