Stick

Owen Wilson swings back onto our screens in Stick, a heartwarming underdog sports comedy. He plays Pryce ‘Stick’ Cahill, a once-famous golfer whose meltdown on live TV ended his career two decades ago. These days, he’s stuck teaching retirees how to swing and selling clubs — until he meets Santi Wheeler (Peter Dager), a teenage golf prodigy with more talent than direction. Together, they hit the road for a high-stakes tournament, discovering that life’s real prize is about human connection and second chances, not trophies. With Wilson’s signature laid-back humour and cameos from real golf pros, Stick delivers easy-going charm and feel-good laughs in the spirit of Ted Lasso.

Loot

After splitting from her tech-billionaire husband, Molly Wells (Maya Rudolph) is left with billions, a shiny new charity foundation, and absolutely no clue what to do with either. Desperate for purpose, she dives into philanthropy headfirst — and lands in one hilarious mess after another. With the help (and eye-rolls) of her quirky team, Molly learns that money might buy jet planes and mansions, but it can’t buy meaning, humility, or true connection. Sparkling with wit, sharp observations, and unexpected heart, Loot is a workplace comedy about reinvention and the priceless things in life.

Your Friends & Neighbors

What do you do when you’re strapped for cash and surrounded by wealthy neighbours? Rob them, of course. At least, that’s what Jon Hamm’s character in the dark suburban comedy-thriller Your Friends & Neighbors does.

Hamm swaps suave for scheming as Coop, a former hedge-fund hotshot who reinvents himself as a burglar after getting forced out of his workplace. He soon targets the very neighbours whose approval he once craved. Olivia Munn joins as one of the glitzy suburbanites caught in the crosshairs. Expect razor-sharp satire, suburban secrets, unexpected twists, and dark humour in this slow-burn series.

The Studio

Hollywood has never looked this chaotic — or this silly. Seth Rogen stars as Matt Remick, an earnest cinephile who suddenly finds himself running a major film studio. Cue a revolving door of eccentric creatives, impossible deadlines, and oddball executives. Stacked with a cast of big names, including Catherine O’Hara and Kathryn Hahn, and packed with plenty of surprise celebrity cameos, the show might make you star-struck (just like Matt) with its roster of celebrities.

It’s more than just glitz and glamour, though: The Studio skewers the absurdity of the movie business while celebrating the messy magic of filmmaking. Simultaneously a biting satire and a loving homage to Hollywood, it asks the urgent question: Is it possible to make great art in a world obsessed with box office numbers and superhero sequels? If this Emmy-nominated show is any proof, the answer is yes.

Foundation

Based on the award-winning novel series of the same name by Isaac Asimov, Foundation is an interstellar epic about destiny, power, and survival. The hit series chronicles the lives of humans across the galaxy who are living under the rule of the Galactic Empire.

When the revolutionary Dr Hari Seldon (Jared Harris) predicts the impending fall of the Empire, he and a band of loyal followers venture to the far reaches of the galaxy to establish the Foundation in an attempt to rebuild and preserve the future of civilisation. Enraged by Hari’s claims, the ruling Cleons (Lee Pace, Terrence Mann, and Cassian Bilton) — a long line of emperor clones — fear their grasp on the galaxy may be weakening as they’re forced to reckon with the potential reality of losing their legacy forever.

People have long considered Asimov’s groundbreaking novels to be unadaptable. The series is famously massive in scope: the first instalment alone spans 200 years, while the series writ large transpires across 600 years. The book series is also more concerned with ideas than people — philosophical inquiry takes primacy over character development and emotions, making adaptation even more daunting.

Screenwriter and showrunner David S. Goyer (Batman Begins, Man of Steel) has, smartly, taken creative license to make major changes to the books, zigzagging across centuries to condense the narrative while balancing sweeping space battles with deeply human stories. Sci-fi with heart? Now that’s a winning combination.

Camp Snoopy

Looking for a show to watch with your little ones? Or do you just want a heartwarming series to make you feel all cosy inside? If so, you’re probably going to want to check out Camp Snoopy, which follows the Peanuts gang as they embark on fresh adventures.

After discovering their troop is in danger of disbanding, Snoopy and the Beagle Scouts set off to immerse themselves in nature and the Great Outdoors to earn their badges, with the Beagle Scout Manual as their guide. Meanwhile, Charlie Brown and friends enjoy their summer at Camp Spring Lake, crossing paths with Snoopy as they experience hiking, swimming, sitting around campfires, and everything summer camp and the outdoors have to offer.

With a combination of gentle sweetness, good-natured humour, and summer exuberance, Camp Snoopy makes for a thoroughly comforting watch.

Ted Lasso

The Emmy-winning comedy series, Ted Lasso, is the TV embodiment of a big hug. It became a pop culture sensation when it premiered in 2020, winning hearts with its relentless optimism.

Jason Sudeikis plays Ted Lasso, a small-time college American football coach from Kansas hired to coach UK professional soccer team AFC Richmond, despite having no experience coaching soccer. With unwavering positivity, he takes on that challenge, but mentoring a motley crew of clashing personalities, including egotistical up-and-comer Jamie Tartt (Phil Dunster) and the hot-headed veteran footballer Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein), proves to be tricky.

And, unknown to him, there is a powerful force within the club that doesn’t want him to succeed: AFC Richmond’s new owner, Rebecca Welton (Hannah Waddingham).

Full of laugh-out-loud moments, earnest life lessons, and a cast of characters you’ll root for, this Emmy-winning hit is the very definition of feel-good TV.

Severance

When work-at-home arrangements became the norm, conversations about work-life balance naturally dominated social media. When your office space is also your living space, where does work end and life begin? Is it even possible to separate those two things?

In the award-winning high-concept thriller Severance, work-life balance is taken to the extreme — with frightening results. The biotechnology corporation Lumon Industries has formulated a medical procedure called ‘severance’, which allows their employees to compartmentalise their memories depending on whether or not they are at work.

When a ‘severed’ worker is at work, they are dubbed ‘innies’ and cannot remember anything of their lives or the world outside. When outside work, they are dubbed ‘outies’ and cannot remember their time at work. Due to this, innie and outie experience two different lives, with distinct personalities and agendas.

Sounds like a useful procedure? Not quite. This excessive separation of professional and personal hurts innies, who experience a lack of agency and a constant sense of despair.

Severance paints a bleak portrait of the excesses of corporatism, one that explores how the need to suppress personal baggage in pursuit of productivity can ultimately hurt people.

Pachinko

Based on the New York Times bestselling novel of the same name, this epic drama chronicles the hopes and dreams of a Korean immigrant family across four generations as they leave their homeland in an indomitable quest to survive and thrive.

Epic in scope and intimate in tone, the story begins with a forbidden love and crescendos into a sweeping saga that journeys between Korea, Japan, and America to tell an unforgettable story of war and peace, love and loss, triumph, and reckoning.

Pachinko is told in three languages — Korean, Japanese, and English — to maintain a ring of authenticity. 

It uses something very specific — the migrant experience — to illuminate universal truths about being human: the need for a sense of belonging, the power of familial bonds, and the dreaming of a better future.

Featuring Academy Award-winning actress Youn Yuh-jung (Minari) and hotshot actor Lee Min-ho in its huge cast, Pachinko is a sprawling, moving drama that proves that when it comes to relating to art, language is indeed no barrier.

The Morning Show

It’s no wonder The Morning Show is one of Apple TV+’s biggest hits. Set in the cutthroat world of morning news, it dives into the lives of the people who help America wake up — led by powerhouse performances from Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon.

Through the lens of Alex Levy (Aniston) and Bradley Jackson (Witherspoon), we watch two complicated women navigate the minefield of live TV. Expect scheming, backstabbing, office politics, and drama — all moving at a breakneck pace that keeps you hooked.

Alex’s world shatters when her longtime co-host Mitch (Steve Carell, flexing his dramatic chops) is accused of misconduct and fired, leaving her vulnerable both personally and professionally. Enter Bradley, a serious journalist who shakes things up, helping the show regain its footing — while uncovering a toxic culture of silence within the network.

Fearless, sharp, and addictive, this series takes a candid look at power, ambition, and gender dynamics in the workplace — all without being heavy-handed. Glossy, smart, and endlessly entertaining, The Morning Show is prestige drama at its juiciest.

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters

Monarch roars into the MonsterVerse with a new chapter of kaiju mayhem. Yes, Godzilla looms large, but he’s not alone — this series unleashes a wild roster of titans, from the spider-like Mother Longlegs to the burrowing Mantleclaw, and brand-new beasts like the Frost Vark and the bat-winged Ion Dragon.

But beneath the monster madness lies a deeply human story. The show balances jaw-dropping battles with grounded drama, following characters whose lives are forever changed by these colossal creatures. Leading the charge, Kurt Russell and his son Wyatt tag-team the role of Colonel Lee Shaw across different timelines, mixing action-hero swagger with surprising warmth.

They’re joined by a stellar cast, including Emmy winner Anna Sawai as Cate, a PTSD survivor of a kaiju attack. Sawai brings haunting authenticity to the role, even drawing on her memories of Japan’s 2011 Tōhoku earthquake.

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is a powerful reminder of storytelling’s ability to bridge disparate worlds. It celebrates the human capacity to adapt and thrive, even under the shadow of giants.

Slow Horses

Who needs explosions and car chases when you’ve got Gary Oldman and razor-sharp writing? Slow Horses proves espionage can be thrilling without the pyrotechnics.

Based on Mick Herron’s bestselling novels, the series follows River Cartwright (Jack Lowden), a promising MI5 agent who blows a major training exercise and gets banished to Slough House — the dumping ground for disgraced spies. His boss? The brilliantly irritable Jackson Lamb (Oldman), a chain-smoking, insult-hurling spymaster who hides genius under gruff layers.

Eager to redeem himself, River stumbles into a far-right terror plot, dragging his misfit colleagues into real spy work for once. What follows is tense, funny, and surprisingly authentic. With twists, cliffhangers, and plenty of dark humour, Slow Horses may sound sluggish — but it’s one of TV’s most exhilarating under-the-radar gems.
