Kim’s Convenience season 4 - Netflix - April 1st

This comedy about a Korean-Canadian family that runs a Convenience store is actually hilarious and I binged the first 3 seasons at the beginning of the year so I am looking forward to revisiting this sitcom. Also, Simu Liu who plays Chung is Marvel’s Shang-Chi so check out this show if you're looking forward to that movie!

Killing Eve Season 3 - BBC America & BBC iplayer - April 13th

Yes! We are actually getting Killing Eve Season 3 a lot sooner than expected, normally we (here in the UK) have to wait for aeons after the US to watch it but luckily we are getting each episode the day after the US showing on BBC iPlayer! I love this show so much, its hilariously dark and Villanelle is one of the best characters on TV at the moment. If you’ve never watched the show buckle up for an adventure.

Run - HBO & Now TV/ Sky Comedy - April 15th

Phoebe Waller-Bridge aka everyone’s favourite writer at the moment has a new TV show coming out. And it’s an intriguing premise about reconnecting with an old acquaintance due to a pact that was made 17 years earlier. It’s apparently a black comedy thriller which in itself is rather appealing.

 The King: Eternal Monarch - SBS & Netflix - April 17th

This new drama is from Kim Eun-sook the creator of Guardian: The Lonely and Great God (aka Goblin) and Mr Sunshine which are some of my all-time favourite Korean dramas. The cast is great with Lee Min-ho, Kim Go-eun, Woo Do-hwan and Jung Eun-chae to name a few. And it’s about parallel worlds!!! Count me in!

Normal People - BBC iPlayer - April 26th

As a fan of this book and just Sally Rooney in general I have been waiting for this adaptation ever since it was announced. I’m intrigued to see whether there will be any dramatic changes and just how faithful it will stay to the book. Rooney is very much a literary voice of my generation and I love how she captured the two main characters so rawly in the book… so let’s see if this drama does the same, although from the trailer I feel like it will which is a relief.

TV Shows You Should Be Watching Right Now

After a phenomenal first season Big Little Lies (which was technically only supposed to be a mini-series) is back! After the shock finale, season 2 follows the Monterey 5 dealing with the aftermath of their rather massive lie. And if you weren’t already excited about the shows return, the fact that Meryl Streep has joined the cast for this new season should secure your attention.

I am really enjoying this drama at the moment as it feels rather fresh and original. Women working in the tech industry is never really explored and I love how each female character in this drama has strengths and weaknesses, they are just so real and relatable. Also, when watching a Korean Drama you can’t not talk about the Male lead, and Chang Ki-young as Park Mo-gun is killing it with the charm!

One Spring Night

As soon as I heard that Ahn Pan-seok was making a drama this year I was eagerly awaiting its arrival as I loved Something in the Rain and Love Affair. Jung Ha-in returns after charming everyone in SITR and damn he is so likeable as a single father in this drama too! One of the main reasons I love Ahn Pan-seok’s work is just how real it feels, its as if he is making 16 hour long independent films, he is a genius and I can’t wait to add One Spring Night to the list of my favourite Korean Dramas

Watch on Netflix

Dark

Dark is a German language Sci-fi and its criminally underrated and wrongly compared to Stranger Things. The TV Show follows a small town dealing with the disappearance of a young boy and it swiftly turns into a freaky mystery involving time travel! What more could you want? So buckle up and get ready to watch season 2 on Friday!!!

Years and Years

Russell T Davies has created a rather amazing show. Years and Years is so compelling because it is set in the very near future and it feels like everything that happens in the show could plausibly happen in real life! The cast is amazing and the storylines of each episode are riveting.

Watch on BBC iPlayer or HBO (from June 24th)

Killing Eve

Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer as Eve Polastri and Villanelle respectively are some of the most fascinating women on screen at the moment. Ever since the season one finale I’ve been hungry for more episodes to devour and lets just say that I have already binged the entire season and I’m probably going to watch it all over again ASAP.

Music I’m Loving Right Now Vol VI – Summer '19

in

Summer is here…well at least it is supposed to be. Let’s just face it that British summers are erratic to say the least, one day its positively boiling the next the skies are grey and threatening to rain.

This seasons playlist is mix of indie whimsy, chilled R&B, chic french classics and a little Killing Eve soundtrack magic. So grab a glass of wine, a book and get some rays or go on a balmy summers evening drive…
