Pilot TV

Reviewed this week: harrowing drama from Netflix in When They See Us, absurd intellectual comedy from Amazon in Good Omens and capitalist woes on Wall Street in Sky's Black Monday. Some shout-outs for Marcella and Red Riding, as well as a show we can't remember the name of. Plus you'll hear what it means to watch a show 'on tick' and learn far more about Terri's lunch order than you ever really needed to.

We have a dragon-sized episode for you this week (hope you didn't have plans today) as we say our final farewell to Game Of Thrones with a monster discussion of the show's finale (if you haven't seen it then for the love of R'hllor avoid everything between 1:19:11 and 2:07:05). In addition to our final Thronesplaining we welcome Jared Harris to the podcast for some Chernobyl chat (30:48 to 50:43) and turn our critical gaze upon Netflix's What/If, the BBC's Summer Of Rocket's and Sky's Riviera Season 2.

It's all go this week as we marvel at Shane Meadows' The Virtues, delight in Russell T Davies' Year's And Years, delight in Sally Wainwright's Gentleman Jack and chuckle through Jemaine Clement's What We Do In The Shadows. *Plus* Russell T. Davies himself pops by with some friends for a chat (16:50 to 35:22). *And* the Thronesplaining reaches fever pitch as we bathe in the flames of the show's penultimate episode, The Bells (if you haven't seen it, then skip everything from 1:05:47 to 1:39:29).

Right you are, fella. Sunday saw the last episode of Line Of Duty's fifth series and we couldn't let such a monumental event pass uncommented. And so, with our best Hastings hats on, we dropped into the interrogation room to drag the final episodes over the coals and investigate the evidence. We even served a Reg 15 to series creator Jed Mercurio to hear about his storytelling process as well.

Everything's in meltdown this week as we immerse ourselves in Sky Atlantic's gruellingly excellent Chernobyl, delve into the Deep State for Season 2 of Fox's espionage thriller, and do away with all the adults in Netflix's The Society. Plus we get into a big old fight about the fourth episode of Game Of Thrones, which once again gets the Thronesplaining spoiler treatment at the end of the episode. Not seen it? Then skip everything between 01:12:02 and 01:47:56.

It's wall-to-wall politics this week as we tackle the Tudors in The Spanish Princess and worship at the altar of AOC in Knock Down The House. Plus we manage some spoiler-free chat about the latest Line Of Duty and some massively spoiler-heavy dissection of Game of Thrones. If you'd rather avoid our breakdown of GoT Episode 3: The Long Night because you haven't seen it - or the thought of us banging on about it for a full 30 minutes makes you want to join the Night's Watch - then feel free to skip everything between 01:07:14 and 01:40:15.

We have some post-Easter horror for you this week, thanks to Netflix's excellent new haunted heart thriller, Chambers, some pre-millennial spycraft thanks to The Looming Tower on BBC2, plus we fail to watch Jamestown entirely and have to rely on Boyd to explain it all. All that and another bumper dragoncast, getting deep into the Godswood for episode 2 of Game Of Thrones' final season. If you're still trying to avoid Westerosi spoilers for that particular episode then don't worry, it's clearly signposted and at the very end of the show between 01:19:50 and 01:49:50. Apologies for the runtime - we got a bit carried away!

Podcast is coming! That's right, the final season of Game Of Thrones landed this week and, like the Night King himself, we tore down The Wall and stormed forth to tackle it. In keeping with this theme, Terri seized control of the Seven Kingdoms, taking advantage of James' absence to install herself upon the Iron Throne as Queen Terri, Mother of podcasts, breaker of science-fiction and ruler of true crime documentaries. Despite this, We found time to dive into bleak BBC comedy Back To Life (don't call it the new Fleabag!) and Channel 4's culture-mashing four-part miniseries Chimerica. Plus a few tantalising breaking news tidbits and we make the bold choice to continue trying to make James laugh, even in his absence. NOTE: If you've not yet had a chance to watch the Game Of Thrones season opener then don't worry, you can still listen to the podcast as we've saved all the dragon chat for the end of the reviews section. Just skip everything between 41:38 and 51:37 and you'll be fine.

In this special episode of the podcast we delve deep into the plot developments of The OA's incredible second season, speaking to creators Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij, who throw caution the wind and open up about everything from the Tree Internet and Old Night to the house on Nob Hill and those sex-powered dancing robots. WARNING: spoilers abound throughout so only listen once you've watched all of Season 2.

This week we get definitive with the definite article for The Widow (Kate Beckinsale) and The Victim (Kelly MacDonald), then go full Brexit with Toby Jones in Don't Forget The Driver. All that and Boyd still finds time to sit down and chat UFOs (and Queer As Folk) with Aidan Gillen, plus we wax lyrical about both the Fleabag finale and Line Of Duty's unswerving commitment to impenetrable acronyms.
