TV critic Dheepthika Laurent speaks to Eve Jackson about all the hottest shows of the month and the year so far. Among them are new Netflix show "En Place", or "Represen’t" in English, which imagines France's first black president; "The Last of Us", a post-apocalyptic zombie drama getting critical acclaim; and "Kaleidoscope", which is already one of the most talked-about shows this year.
Olivia Salazar-Winspear and Dheepthika Laurent look at the explosive revelations in Netflix's latest royal binge: the sleek, fawning docu-series "Harry & Meghan", in which the couple give their version of their decision to leave the British royal family. Also out this month is season two of the excellent Apple TV+ dramedy "Slow Horses", about a group of misfit MI5 agents banished to Slough House after a career mess-up. This season focuses the intrigue on cicadas, or KGB spies who may still be embedded in British society.
Olivia Salazar-Winspear and Dheepthika Laurent chat about the highly anticipated fifth season of Netflix series "The Crown", which is being released just weeks after the death of Queen Elizabeth II. It looks at the troubled 1990s, from the queen's "annus horribilis" to the tragic death of Princess Diana. Also out this month is a BBC Two/Canal+ series with a feminist spin on Marie-Antoinette, while Sylvester Stallone's first TV show, out on Paramount+, depicts him as a mobster exiled to Oklahoma. Finally, legendary director Tim Burton makes his TV debut at the helm of "Wednesday", a new take on "The Addams Family" out on Netflix.
Amazon Prime dropped its highly anticipated "Lords of the Rings" prequel this month, the most expensive TV show ever made. Our TV critic Dheepthika Laurent looks at the reviews. But first, we discuss this year's Emmy Awards, where "Succession" and "Ted Lasso" took home the top prizes. Plus, we bring you a glimpse of "Atlanta", "The Good Fight" and season 5 of "The Handmaid's Tale".
