1899

Thursday

Netflix

If Dark is anything to go by, the terrifying sci-fi noir that bent both genres and minds, then creators Jantje Friese and Baran bo Odar's follow-up thriller should do the same.

1899 is set on board the Kerberos, a migrant steamship - or haunted house? - travelling from Europe to New York. The passengers are seeking the American Dream, but their journey across the Atlantic turns into a waking nightmare when they mysteriously encounter a second vessel adrift on the open sea. It looks to be another tantalising puzzle box of a series.

Oti Mabuse: My South Africa

Thursday

BBC One, 9pm

Known for her jaw-dropping talent on the Strictly dancefloor, Oti Mabuse is heading back to her childhood home in South Africa. There she'll visit the people and places that made her the dancer and person she is today. 

But don't think this is just any old celebrity travelogue. As a black African growing up in a country with a dark history of apartheid, her perspective on her homeland is more personal and more nuanced than any casual visitor from the UK could bring. 

Ultimately, Oti finds hope in the changes that have happened in South Africa, and the young people and strong women who are driven to continue that change.

The Horne Section TV Show

Thursday
