Dad core reigns this week as we head over to Prime video for Season 2 of Aldis Hodge starring crime thriller Cross, then pivot to ITV for MI5 thriller Betrayal. Plus we peer into the psyche of Mackenzie Crook as we cast a critical eye over his quirky new homunculus comedy Small Prophets. Meanwhile, Boyd beams in live from Santa Monica to give us a full rundown of Apple’s 2026 slate. And, if you’ve ever wondered where a good place to star bingeing Star Trek is then look no further because that question gets answered in forensic detail as the team wrestle over a suitable on-ramp and whether Steph’s love of Enterprise shoud disqualify her from the discussion entirely. Oh, and the gang do actually get stuck into some telly news, too, discussing Adolescence writer Jack Thorne’s potential plans for future instalments, the latest God Of War casting announcements, and Your Friends And Neighbours‘ Season 3 renewal. Enjoy!
