Boarders (BBC – 6 x 60 mins)
Few things are as frustrating as when a streamer dumps a gem on their site with little fanfare. The silver lining though is the feeling you’ve discovered a corker – and that’s definitely what this is. Comedy drama following 5 underprivileged black students from inner-city London who win scholarships to an elite boarding school, stepping out of the urban metropolis and into a world they can only describe as something out of Harry Potter. Razor sharp yet powerful.
The Northman (Prime Video – 147 mins)
A young Viking prince is on a quest to avenge his father’s murder. That prince grows into Alexander Skarsgård. Directed and co-written by Robert Eggers, the result is a violent & epic visual spectacle.
Daughters of the Cult (Disney+ – 5 x 60 mins)
Based on life of cult leader Ervil Morrell LeBaron, leader of a religious fundamentalist group who ordered the mass murders of his rivals by using the religious doctrine of blood atonement to justify the killings.
The Way (BBC – 6 x 60 mins)
Co-created and directed by Michael Sheen, The Way is one of those examples of a show that feels almost prophetical, reminiscent in many ways to Russell T. Davies‘s incredible Years & Years. Giving a plot summary feels like too much of a spoiler, so I’ll let the trailer below hint at what to come. Blending speculative fiction with history and mythology, this is must-see tv.
Can I Tell You A Secret (Netflix- 105 mins)
Social Media remains the wild west, an unmonitored place where terrifying things can happen with little consequences to the perpetrator whilst the victims life is totally derailed. Three women’s lives were changed forever when a prolific stalker infiltrated their social media accounts. And they’re only a fraction of his many victims. Haunting.
