House of Guinness Netflix, streaming now

It might be from those behind Peaky Blinders, but I’m hoping for more than over-acting background artists, a slew of slow-mo walking on cobbled streets, and questionable Irish accents. Set in Dublin and New York, it follows Sir Ben Guinness’s chosen offspring (Arthur and Edward) and the black sheep (Anne and Ben) dealing with the family business after his death.

Slow Horses

AppleTV+, streaming now

Six Feet Under, Sex and the City, The Sopranos, Dexter… you’ve probably heard me bang on about just how disappointing the fourth series of an iconic show can be. Heading into Slow Horses’ fourth run last year, I was freaked it would blow harder than one of Jackson Lamb’s emissions after a “#7 noodles”. And while it did have undercurrents of a high-end episode of EastEnders on a day trip to France at times, overall, it was darkly majestic with a cracking crowd-scene climax. Now, the spy dramady, following agents serving in a dumping ground department of MI5 due to their career-ending cock-ups, returns – and all eyes are on resident Slough House tech pest and quintessential ‘incel’, Roddy. Last time, Roddy was romanced by bots, but now he’s got an IRL girlfriend. Unfortunately for everyone, said love interest is setting off alarm bells all over the shop. Will there be more shock deaths? Will Standish get kidnapped (again)? Episodes land weekly.
