6 Must-Watch TV Shows to Binge This Week: Don’t Miss Out!
As we ease into the new year and our daily routines kick back in, there’s nothing quite like unwinding with some truly captivating TV shows. This week, we’ve handpicked a list of must-watch series that are sure to keep you on the edge of your seat. From gripping crime thrillers to heartwarming period dramas, here are our top six picks for the week.
Lynley: A Detective Drama Like No Other
Adapted from the beloved book series by Elizabeth George, this four-part detective show follows DI Thomas “Tommy” Lynley as he forms an unexpected partnership with DS Barbara Havers. Together, they solve crimes while navigating the complexities of class and gender issues. This show has all the hallmarks of a great detective drama: brilliant source material, an unconventional detective duo, and an impressive cast. Plus, the series is produced by Playground, the team behind stellar productions like Wolf Hall and All Creatures Great and Small.
Can You Keep a Secret? A Comedy of Errors
From the producer behind the hit comedy sitcom This Country, this six-parter follows the Fendon family, made up of Debbie, William, and their son Harry. When William is accidentally pronounced dead, Debbie sees an opportunity she can’t refuse: cashing in on his life insurance. The brilliant collaboration of Dawn French, Mark Heap, and Craig Roberts promises a kooky and entertaining show set in the West Country.
Grantchester Season 10: A Beloved Detective Show Returns
We return to the sleepy English town of Grantchester in 1962, just in time for Easter, where Alphy has planned a local fair. But when a shock murder occurs, the vicar must work together with Detective Inspector DI Geordie Keating to solve the crime. Grantchester has established itself as one of the most beloved detective shows on TV, and this penultimate series promises the same twisty plots and emotional storytelling the show is known for.
His & Hers: A Crime Drama with a Twist
Based on the 2020 novel by Alice Feeney, this six-part crime drama is set in Georgia and stars Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal as estranged couple Anna Andrews and Jack Harper. Both become entangled in a shocking murder, and with the tagline “There are two sides to every story,” this series promises a rollercoaster of twists and turns that fans of Harlan Coben won’t be able to resist.
Girl Taken: A Psychological Thriller
This six-parter is based on Hollie Overton’s 2016 novel Baby Doll and stars real-life sisters Tallulah and Delphi Evans, alongside Alfie Allen and Jill Halfpenny. If you like bone-chilling psychological thrillers, then you’re in for a treat with Girl Taken. Much like the BBC’s Jodie Comer-starring drama, Thirteen, the show explores the aftermath of a horrific crime and finding the strength to rebuild your life after experiencing trauma.
A Thousand Blows Season 2: A Punchy Return
Promising a “punchy” return for season two, this six-parter picks up a year after the events of season one. Hezekiah Moscow is a shadow of the man he once was, and Sugar Goodson is estranged from his family and drinking himself to ruin. It’s about time when Mary Carr bursts back onto the scene to reassemble the Forty Elephants. The trailer promises “the dawn of a new era,” and viewers are expected to be hooked once again by a series steered by the ever-wonderful Stephen Knight.
