The plot thickens as the main character searches for others who might also be free from the hive mind.

The story follows Mark Scout as he discovers unsettling secrets about his company, Lumon Industries. The show is a thought-provoking take on work-life balance, packed with suspense. Currently, the second season is hugely popular, with audiences captivated by the deepening mysteries of the ‘severed floor’.

‘Invasion’ (2021–)

This sci-fi drama tells the story of an alien arrival and how people around the world react. It explores the emotional impact of a global crisis and the changes it brings to society. As the aliens become more threatening and their behavior more erratic, the characters struggle to survive. The show features impressive visuals and unfolds at a deliberate pace, creating a detailed and immersive world.

‘Ted Lasso’ (2020–)

A heartwarming comedy follows an American football coach who takes on the challenge of leading a British soccer team, even though he’s never coached the sport before. The show became incredibly popular thanks to its positive outlook and focus on developing relatable characters with strong emotional intelligence.

Funny supporting characters add to the humor while also highlighting the importance of friendship and giving back to the community. The series has stayed popular by skillfully mixing comedy with genuine character development.

‘Slow Horses’ (2022–)

As a total spy thriller fan, I’ve been really hooked on this show. It’s about a bunch of MI5 agents who’ve messed up – they’re basically sent to a dead-end department called Slough House as punishment. Their boss, Jackson Lamb, is brilliantly unpleasant, but things get interesting when they stumble into some seriously dangerous cases that could really threaten national security. What I love is how realistic and gritty it feels – the dialogue is so sharp and clever. Each season is based on a book by Mick Herron, and it’s clearly a hit, because it keeps a lot of viewers coming back for more.

‘Palm Royale’ (2024–)

This funny and dramatic series takes place in 1969 and centers on a determined woman trying to break into Palm Beach’s elite social circles. It reveals how far people will go to achieve status and the hidden truths behind the lives of the rich and famous.

It’s become a popular new release, praised for its excellent acting and intense atmosphere.
