We’re watching more TV than ever before. It comes as no surprise that since lockdown, 36% of viewers in the UK and US are watching more linear TV and 24% are watching more online TV, like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. It helps, of course, that there are more excellent TV series to watch than ever before, too.
This big-budget action drama is as cinematic and gloriously violent as you’d expect from creator Gareth Evans, director of The Raid. Gangs of London combines the influential filmmaker’s acclaimed expertise in finely choreographed Indonesian martial arts with all the London grit of a used pub ashtray. This saga follows the power struggle between riv...
Boasting Brit-com pedigree in its leads Martin Freeman (The Office) and Daisy Haggard (Back to Life), as well as in its trio of creators, Freeman, Simon Blackwell (The Thick of It) and Chris Addison (Mock the Week), the new adult sitcom follows the trials of a sleep-deprived parents in London. They're trying to keep their kids fed and themselves sa...
A supernatural romance for grown-ups, A Discovery of Witches tells the age-old story of forbidden love between a witch and a vampire and the ensuing unearthly drama sparked when a centuries-old magical text is uncovered in a prestigious Oxford university library.
It’s based on the bestselling All Souls Trilogy of books by Deborah Harkness, and its rabid fanbase is as much a testament to its protagonists’ brooding chemistry, played by Teresa Palmer and Matthew Goode, as it is to the level of period detail in this show. Both make it more sophisticated than what might be, on paper, an angst-laden YA story. A second and third series are coming – catch up on the first now and you’ll be spellbound, too.
The second series of the Sky-exclusive comedy drama premiered on May 7, meaning you can now enjoy more critically-acclaimed laffs from the Northern working class-set sitcom. Star and co-creator Joe Gilgun (This Is England) is endlessly watchable alongside co-stars Damien Molony (Game Face) and Michelle Keegan (Our Girl), as the cast of lovable rogu...
This spectacular six-part series is easily the most acclaimed TV show of recent times: the Sky and HBO co-production took home multiple awards at the 2019 Emmys and Golden Globes, including for Best Miniseries. It’s easy to see why. This dramatisation of the 1986 Chernobyl disaster is horror movie-esque in its presentation – it's a gripping and exp...
There is nothing more calming than watching people paint. Like self-care in the form of a series, Sky’s Portrait Artist of the Year sees aspiring artists compete to paint a different celebrity ‘sitter’ each week, with one artist winning the show’s final portrait commission at the end of the series.
The show was so popular when it aired this January that Sky Arts have brought out the new, online-only, interactive Portrait Artist of the Week for viewers during lockdown, with celebrity sitters in their own homes dutifully providing poses so you can paint along at home. Homebound artists can then submit their final portrait to the judges through social media using the hashtag #MYPAOTW. At the end of each week, the judges choose some of their favourites to feature on the programme, livestreamed and available to rewatch on the Sky TV Facebook page.
When political drama COBRA premiered in January, most people didn’t know what the government abbreviation – taken from real life, as silly as the name is – meant. A few months on, and everyone is all too aware of the government’s regular COBRA meetings, adding an extra note of intrigue to this interpersonal drama of a government dealing with crisis.
The COBRA meetings in this drama, though, happen when the government is forced to deal with power outages caused across the UK, and the ensuing emergencies, as a result of a devastating solar flare. Trainspotting’s Robert Carlyle stars as the PM, and even researched the role with real politicians, so you can be sure the inter-cabinet barbs are authentic (COBRA stands for Cabinet Office Briefing Room A, by the way).
The brilliant, bleak drama which made an icon out of the yellow puffer jacket returned for its second series recently, and it was even better than the first. It follows one man’s desperate and dangerous quest to track down his estranged daughter who's gone missing, and stars Lennie James, of Line of Duty and The Walking Dead fame. Full of clues and...
If Bad-Boys-meets-Lethal-Weapon-on-the-streets-of-London sounds like your sort of thing (and honestly, how could it not?), you’ll love Bulletproof. Creators and stars Ashley Walters and Noel Clarke make the perfect buddy cop duo: lifelong best mates who have grown up to become detectives and tackle serious organised crime together. Get stuck into t...
