The crime noir stars Tamara Lawrance (Time) as the eponymous Millie, a police officer who leaves the Metropolitan Police behind and swaps London for her native Kingston. Raised in England but born in Jamaica, Millie doesn’t feel at home in either.
The bespectacled half of Pointless and The Rest is Entertainment returns to put celebrities through their paces in the latest series of the game show.
The first series introduced viewers to Pierpoint & Co, a leading investment bank that expects nothing less than perfection from its employees. A crop of young starters have to do everything they can to stay ahead.
As if the work wasn’t enough, there’s also the lifestyle. The drugs, sex and drinking prove just as demanding as the never-ending office hours.
Series three will see Pierpoint put everything on so-called ethical investing. Part of their strategy involves Sir Henry Muck (Kit Harington, Game of Thrones), a major player in green energy.
The suicide of successful businessman Jack Wright sends his already-fractured family into a tailspin. As if grieving wasn’t difficult enough, his third wife Sally and two sons are left reeling by the discovery that they have been largely left out of the will.
The police investigate Wright’s death, and begin to suspect foul play. When difficult questions emerge about members of the Wright family, decades’ worth of feuds and resentments bubble up to the surface.
Among them is Playing Nice, starring James Norton (Happy Valley) as a father faced with an impossible choice. After learning two toddlers were switched at birth, their parents must decide whether to keep the children they’ve been raising, or swap to be with their biological sons. Pete (Norton) and Maddie (Niamh Algar) seem to be in agreement with the other couple, Miles (James McArdle) and Lucy (Jessica Brown Findlay). That is, until ulterior motives rise to the surface.
The first series plunged viewers headfirst into the dizzying world of Pierpoint & Co, a leading investment bank. Deals on the London office’s trading floor are made on a dime, and rake in millions.
Just as intense as the work is the lifestyle. Drugs, sex and drinking collide with equities portfolios. Anyone who doesn’t keep up – in any department – risks failure, which in this world is unthinkable.
When Martyn and Rebecca up sticks for Glasgow, they think they’ve finally managed to escape London, two young children in tow. However, when new neighbour Jen makes unsettling remarks to Rebecca, the couple start to question if the fresh start is as idyllic as they first thought.
The show will star Martin Compston (Line of Duty) as Martyn, Anjli Mohindra (The Sarah Jane Adventures) as Rebecca and Solly McLeod as Jan (The Dead Don’t Hurt).
A prequel set 200 years before Game of Thrones, the show follows power struggles in the court of the ruling Targaryen family. The second series is poised to follow the bloody conflict that will determine who next sits upon on the Iron Throne.
“There is no war so hateful to the gods as a war between kin,” warns Rhaenys Targaryen in the teaser, “and no war so bloody as a war between dragons.”
The series is based on George R.R. Martin’s Fire and Blood book series, set 200 years before Game of Thrones. In House of the Dragon, The House of Targaryen rule all of Westeros, with more fire breathing dragons accompanying the powerful faction.
BBC and HBO’s Industry features university graduates striving for permanent positions at Pierpoint and Co, an esteemed investment bank. Where we left off in series two, Harper (Myha’la Herrold) and Eric (Ken Leung) had just pulled off a dramatic deal with Bloom (Jay Duplass) and secured themselves new positions at Pierpoint, but not without the help of some very illegal insider trading.
