Produced by the world-renowned team at BBC Studios’ Natural History Unit and the visual effects crew who helped bring Jon Favreau’s The Lion King and The Jungle Book to life, this five-part series presents little-known and surprising facts of dinosaur life set against the backdrop of the environments of Cretaceous times, including coasts, deserts, freshwater, ice worlds and forests. “This series manages to pull off something surprisingly hard to do, perfectly mixing science-fiction with humour, heart, and a level of environmentalism that’s thought-provoking yet not overbearing,” wrote Paste magazine’s Terry Terrones.

Serial Star Trek showrunners and writers Alex Kurtzman and Jenny Lumet are the ones steering the ship. Starring Chiwetel Ejiofor and Naomie Harris, The Man Who Fell To Earth follows a new alien character who arrives on Earth at a turning point in human evolution.Ĭhiwetel Ejiofor, Naomie Harris and Bill Nighy star in this 10-part adaptation of Walter Tevis’ 1963 novel (previously, memorably brought to life in 1976 by Nicolas Roeg and David Bowie) about an alien who arrives on Earth at a critical point in human evolution and must confront his own past in order to determine our future. “There are plenty of laughs along the way, but it’s the unforced emotional truths that make Hacks a right and proper vehicle for Smart,” wrote The Guardian’s Lucy Mangan. However, she immediately clashes with the much younger writer she hires. When she wasn’t stealing scenes as Kate Winslet’s character’s plain-speaking mother in last year’s Mare of Easttown, Jean Smart was starring in this acerbic 10-part tale (finally screening here almost a year after its US debut) about an established Las Vegas comedian who is advised to modernise her act in order to save her career. Once there, she forms a surprising bond of science and scepticism with a local pastor (Tom Hiddleston), but when tragedy strikes, locals accuse her of attracting the creature.įollowing a terrific trio of evocative feature films –The Selfish Giant, Dark Water and Ali & Ava – that showcase a sense of space and place, as well as complicated human interactions, director Clio Barnard’s television series debut is a stunning piece of work that draws you in with its provocative premise, sumptuous costuming and production design and promise of an intriguing mystery to unravel. Recently widowed, she decides to moves to Essex to investigate reports of a mythical serpent. Returning to the spotlight for the first time since her award-winning eight season run as troubled CIA Agent Carrie Mathison on Homeland, Claire Danes is at the top of her game in this new Victorian period drama.īased on Sarah Perry’s critically acclaimed 2016 novel of the same name, the six-part tale sees the triple Emmy Winner play Cora Seaborne. The Essex Serpent is now streaming on Apple TV+.
