- Fisk

- Painkiller

- Heartstopper Season 2

Sex Education 3, Stranger Things 4, The Witcher 2 and Phil Wang Jul 30, 2021

As this season of 10/10 Would Recommend draws to a close, we thought it would be churlish not to at least give a cursory nod to some of the smaller, unknown shows coming to Netflix in the last half of 2021. You know, give these shows as much of a chance of finding an audience as possible. So bear with us while we force ourselves to take a look at *checks notes* Stranger Things 4, Sex Ed 3, Money Heist 5, The Witcher 2 and a whole host of commercially risky ventures.

Joining Tolly and Gena this week is the brilliant Phil Wang, who's own special "Philly Philly Wang Wang" arrives on Netflix on 10th August 2021.

There's so many shows mentioned, we're going to get ~RSI typing them pout, but OK THEN IF YOU INSIST.

The story of Sexy Beasts - your new favourite show Jul 16, 2021

You've seen the trailer, right? It. Blew. Up. A beaver talking to a devil, talking to a panda over dinner - wait, what?

'Sexy Beasts' is the most nuts dating show you've ever seen in your lives. Think 'Love is Blind' meets 'The Masked Singer' and you're still only about halfway there.

In order to try and make sense of this prosthetics maker's dream, Tolly and Gena spoke to the exuberant Simon Welton - the Executive Producer and creator of the show - a man with one of the greatest pedigrees in entertaining television we've ever met. What this guy doesn't know about good telly, frankly can go jump.

Fear Street is here for your souls... and RL Stine is here to say hi! Jul 09, 2021

Originality is a rare beast nowadays, which is why we're super proud of the Fear Street trilogy, or should we say thrill-ogy!

He dropped by to speak to the ladies , who are so pathetic when it comes to horror, we got Alison Peirse, and actual academic expert in horror films to come and calm them down.

Then, to see how much they've been paying attention, Producer Jamie put them through their paces with a special quiz. Horror? Some of Tolly's answers will give you the heebeegeebies!

Too Hot to Handle? Melinda and Marvin certainly are... Jul 02, 2021

You didn't think we could cram S2 of 'Too Hot to Handle' into one episode did you? Hell no - and seeing as Tolly and Gena spent so much of last week DROOLING over poor Marvin, it only seemed fitting that we throw him to the 10/10 lions with only his love(?) Melinda for protection.

You want the tea spilt on THTH? Of course you do. You want unfiltered opinion on the reality conveyor belt? Why wouldn't you? Here are four people getting well and truly STUCK IN.

Sometimes you just have to call the experts in, right? There are millions of things Tolly and Gena are experts in, but being a reality TV star is not one of them (yet).

Sweet Tooth is the tonic we need - Star Adeel Akhtar explains why... Jun 18, 2021

Sweet Tooth is one of the most charming series you'll watch this year. Telling the story of Gus, a hybrid boy/deer (bear with, yeah?) and his search for his mother in the midst of a catastrophic pandemic.

Exec produced by Sue Downey and her completely-unknown-unlikely-to-ever-amount-to-anything husband Robert Downey Jr, it has captured the hearts of millions - hitting the number one slot worldwide.

Adeel Akhtar stars as Dr. Aditya Singh, but you will almost certainly already know him from one of the many shows lucky enough to have him, such as Killing Eve, Utopia, The Big Sick, Four Lions, The Night Manager and Back to Life. He is ubiquitous, brilliant and one of the nicest people we've ever had on the show.

Adeel is speaking from a hotel room in London - whilst Tolly and Gena managed to find a room together the other side of town (albeit one with a turbine-sized air-con blowing right next to them). The newly founded trio of BFFs also recommended these titles, available to watch now:

Description

If you aren't on board the 'Master of None' train, then get a damned travelcard ASAP. S3 is a powerhouse - a masterclass in direction, screenplay and performance.

One of the people largely responsible for this is Naomi Ackie - who plays Alicia, Denise's wife. Their journey through the complicated and difficult IVF maze is both heartbreaking and spellbinding. She joins Tolly and Gena to talk all about it - and oh my goodness what a pleasure it was.

The shocking story behind Nailbomber: Manhunt Jun 04, 2021

Nailbomber: Manhunt is an incredibly moving , shocking and powerful documentary about the 13 days that sent London into panic. Bombs in Brixton, Brick Lane and Soho devastated minority communites - before they found strength, fought back and helped police capture David Copeland, the man responsible for the atrocities.

Using first-person accounts, police interview footage and incredible archive, it serves as an important bookmark in British history - one that, as Tolly and Gens discuss, has been overlooked.

Joining them in this episode are Daniel Vernon, the director of Nailbomber: Manhunt and Mike Franklin - one of the people intrinsic to the capture of the bomber.

We hope you enjoy this fascinating episode.

Alexandre Aja on Oxygen and the new wave of incredible foreign language films May 21, 2021

There was a time when anything with subtitles was considered far too intellectual and posh for mainstream consumption - but thanks in part to the meteoric rise in the fantastic Scandi-Noir genre, we now think nothing of settling down and applying a bit more concentration.

This is rewarded with some incredible viewing. Imagine a world without 'The Platform', 'Money Heist', 'Lupin' and now... 'Oxygen'.

Alexandre Aja is known for bringing us some of the most watchable horror of the past few decades, but thanks to lockdown, has had the opportunity to deliver this socially-distant claustrophobic Sci-Fi thriller starring Melanie Laurent.

Dark, a German language series about to embark on its third and final season, takes everything you think you know about the rules of the time-travel genre, tears them into shreds and shoves them right up your flux capacitor.

It is a riveting thriller which, like all great shows, begins as something relatively linear (a missing child case) and expands into an examination of something incredibly profound. ‘The Wire’ became an ode to fate, ‘The Sopranos’ chose life and death - and ‘Dark’ ponders what the fundamentals of time means to humanity - suggesting this part of life is our real God.

It's creators Baran Bo Odar and Jantje Friese talk about these principals, the cast, the insane planning behind such a complex show and the big question... Dubbing or Subtitles!

Imagine a life before Jurgen Klopp, Man Utd, millions of pounds being at stake and a frenzied planet being addicted to football...

Such is the soaraway success of The Stranger - it would have been rude for Jamie not to have caught up with one of it's stars - comedy legend Jennifer Saunders, right? Right.

What to Watch on Netflix: The Cheer special! Feb 21, 2020

If you haven't seen Cheer yet, you are in for an absolute treat. This 6 part documentary series focuses on the personalities and journeys of a group of Cheerleaders in the small town of Corsicana , Texas. On the face of it, this is a show about acrobatics, tumbling and fierce competition - but scratch below the surface and it's like no show you've seen before. It is a compelling and gripping look at empathy, acceptance, determination and family in all it's guises.

How does that narrative translate over here in the UK? Well, Dotty found out when we invited London's finest Cheerleading troupe, Ultimate Cheer, in to discuss what they love about the show - and how closely it resembles their own experiences.

Then, in an unexpected turn of events, we got a call from Cheer superfan Rob Rinder who took us down an incredible rabbit-hole as he talked about why the show means so much to him.

If that wasn't enough (!) Jamie caught up with the creators of Locke and Key to talk spooky doors and also Ben Hardy from the explosive 6 Underground to find out what life as a megastar actor is really like.
