Matt and Dawn are back to review four brand new shows available this week. It's a very Apple TV+ heavy week with the return of The Garvey sisters in Sharon Horgan's brilliantly dark comedy Bad Sisters. There were questions about whether we needed a second series of this brilliant show, and Matt and Dawn address those in the review of the first episode of the new run. Then there's Apple's spooky drama Before, starring a very restrained Billy Crystal as a grieving child therapist who encounters a troubled young boy who he may have a connection with. Also on Apple, the Spanish drama, You Would Do It too, is a heist drama with a difference. Finally, the pair look at Sky's new take on The Day of the Jackal led by Eddie Redmayne which moves at a slower pace than you might expect.

Dawn Glenn and Mo Walker join Matt to review four new shows. First, they travel back to 1986 to a life of excess in Disney's take on Jilly Cooper's hit novel Rivals. Then, imagine life on the set of a Marvel-esque superhero movie in Sky and HBO comedy The Franchise. Over on Prime Video, there are two new comedies. Firstly, an Indian family move to America for a new life in The Pardeeps of Pittsburgh. Finally, and for reasons that aren't entirely, the Australians have remade The Office for 2024. This throws up a lot of questions. Why remake something that has been so widely seen and also, have they done anything new with the format to make it feel more of its time?
Elsewhere, Matt has finished Heartstopper on Netflix and Dawn has some thoughts on Sky's Sweetpea.
