A taste of what’s to come.
I’m certain that your folks have already used the classic ‘the nights are getting longer’ line which means that it’s time to start making some indoor plans for the cold months ahead.
Then again, you might be a mad fecker that prefers to stay out in the cold, wind and rain. Good for you!
Along with some incredible returning shows like Fargo, Homeland, The Walking Dead, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah and South Park, there’s a few new gems that will be making their way to your TV screens and laptops very shortly.
Here are a few that caught our eye.

The Bastard Executioner

Set in northern Wales during a time rife with rebellion and political upheaval, Wilkin must walk a tight rope between protecting his true identity while also serving a mysterious destiny.

Minority Report
Synopsis: Steven Spielberg’s ’02 adaptation of Philip K. Dick’s classic sci-fi novel was one of his most visually striking and daring films.

After the Jason Segel starring film proved to be a hit at the box-office, the gang are back in this mockumentary-style series that follows their personal and professional lives.
I’m getting a strong 30 Rock meets The Office vibe from this one.
Marvel’s Jessica Jones
Synopsis: Marvel seem like their cinematic Midas touch is being replicated on the small screen because their version of Daredevil was bloody brilliant.
Their next superhero adaptation focuses on a former super-heroine who decides to reboot her life by becoming a private investigator.

According to Netflix, the show will touch on “subjects as diverse as the plight of the elderly, the immigrant experience, and how to find the most delicious pasta for dinner”. One of the writers from parks and rec is involved also so we’ve got high hopes.
Narcos
Synopsis: We’re huge fans of the show here and the chances are that you’ve frequently heard from some of your mates telling you that it’s utterly brilliant. They’re right also.
Clear a weekend and binge on this.
