Luther – Amazon Prime Video
John Luther is a police detective and a very good one. He deals with murder cases, often involving serial killers, and has a knack for getting inside the mind of the killer. However, his methods, personality and troubled private life often get him into strife with his superiors, leading some to regard him as the problem rather than the solution. Starring critically acclaimed actor Idris Elba who plays John Luther, this is one crime drama you don’t want to miss!
Top Gear – Discovery Plus
The Top Gear Series is a relaunched version of the original 1977 version and has become a significant show in British popular culture. The programme focuses on the examination and reviewing of motor vehicles, primarily cars, though this was expanded upon after the broadcast of its earlier series to incorporate films featuring motoring-based challenges, special races, timed laps of notable cars, and celebrity timed laps on a course specially designed for the relaunched programme.
Class – Lionsgate play
Spinning out of the world of Doctor Who, Class centres around Coal Hill School in Shoreditch. Like all teenagers, the students at Coal Hill School have hidden secrets and desires. The time has come for them to face up to their own worst fears, navigating a life of friends, parents, school, sex, sorrow – and possibly the end of existence. The very walls of space and time are starting to thin. Something is pressing on the other side: something waiting for its chance to kill everyone and everything, to bring us all into Shadow. Fear is coming. The tragedy is coming. War is coming.
