Five fantastic dramas

King & Conqueror

Historical drama mini-series centred on the events leading to the Norman conquest of England in 1066, with James Norton as Harold Godwinson and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Harold’s ally-turned-enemy, William, Duke of Normandy, aka William the Conqueror (spoiler alert!). Their fates are shaped by the scheming and plotting conducted by King Edward’s mother, Lady Emma (Juliet Stevenson), and King Henry of France (Jean-Marc Barr), which threatens to upset the fragile peace in England following a decade of civil war.

Stream King & Conqueror Season 1 from Thursday, 12 February at 9PM on M-Net Channel 101.

Tulsa King

It’s the best season of Taylor Sheridan’s hit crime series yet! New York Mafia caporegime Dwight "The General" Manfredi’s (Sylvester Stallone) legal marijuana business is up and running. But FBI Special Agent Musso (Kevin Pollak), who black-bagged Dwight in the S2 finale, is expecting him to turn informant, and Dwight’s moves into the alcohol trade pit him against an unscrupulous foe (Robert Patrick). Look out for Samuel L Jackson as hitman Russell Lee Washington in episode 9.

Stream Tulsa King Season 3 from Tuesday, 10 February at 9PM on M-Net Channel 101.

Boston Blue

Police drama. This Blue Bloods spinoff series centres on Danny Reagan (Donnie Wahlberg), who’s moved from NYC to Boston to reconnect with his son, Sean (Mika Amonsen, replacing the OG Sean, Andrew Terraciano), a rookie patrol officer. Danny’s new partner is Detective Lena Silver (Sonequa Martin-Green), who also comes from a high-profile cop family, including Boston DA Mae Silver (Gloria Reuben), police superintendent Sarah Silver (Maggie Lawson), rookie Jonah (Marcus Scribner) and Baptist pastor Reverend Edwin Peters (Ernie Hudson).

Stream Boston Blue Season 1 from Tuesday, 10 February at 7PM on M-Net Channel 101.

Grantchester

Cosy crime drama. It’s 1961 in sleepy Grantchester, and Reverend Will Davenport (Tom Brittney) is weighing up moving out of town, and that means new vicar Alphy Kottaram (Rishi Nair) is in for a rough start as Grantchester’s flock turn up their noses. As Geordie (Robson Green) and Cathy Keating (Kacey Ainsworth) watch their daughter Esme (Skye Lucia Degruttola) take her first steps into the adult world, there are lying archeologists to bust, secret circuses to investigate, and more.

Stream Grantchester Season 9 from Thursday, 5 February at 8PM on BBC Brit Channel 120.

Hotel Portofino

During the 1920s, Bella Ainsworth (Natascha McElhone) and her family run a resort hotel catering to rich, international holidaymakers in Portofino on the Italian Riviera. Think of it as The White Lotus, way back when. The day-to-day trials of dealing with guests are becoming more complicated, though, thanks to Bella’s husband Cecil (Mark Umbers), who can’t resist a dodgy deal, and the rise of Italy’s fascist movement, which is leading to rampant corruption and politically driven violence.

Stream Hotel Portofino Season 1 from Sunday, 15 February at 8PM on BBC Brit Channel 120.

Documentaries with a human touch

Human

Documentary. Paleoanthropologist Ella Al-Shamahi peels back the layers of time to reveal an incredible story across 300 000 years of human evolution. When homo sapiens emerged in Africa, we were not alone: there were at least six other human species alive at the time. Human examines how we went from being just one of many types of human to the dominant form of life on the planet, as it draws on new scientific discoveries about the fate of the Neanderthals.

Stream Human Season 1 from Tuesday, 3 February at 8PM on BBC Earth Channel 184.

Ed Stafford’s Rite of Passage

Documentary. Survivalist Ed Stafford travels around the world to participate in often violent, painful physical rituals through which boys transition into adulthood in indigenous cultures in Mongolia, Ethiopia and Brazil. Fifty-year-old Ed will test his own courage, endurance, and survival skills like never before as he wears gloves with bullet ants woven into them, jumps over lines of bulls in Ethiopia, and hunts monkeys and crocodiles after making his own poison blow-darts with the Waorani in Ecuador’s rainforest.

Stream Ed Stafford’s Rite of Passage Season 1 from Wednesday, 11 March at 8:05PM on Discovery Channel 121.

Dirty, flirty reality

Filthy Fortunes

Reality. Hoarding expert Matt Paxton, appraiser Mike Kelleher, picker Chris Davis and cleanout manager Kayland Brock visit hoarder houses across the US to pick out any valuables, and split the profits with the homeowners. This season, the team helps some adult children whose late father once proclaimed himself the “Best Hoarder Ever”, as they uncover vintage toys, hidden firearms, and a 1960s Austin-Healey car. They’ll also find everything from 60s Beatles demo recordings to carved bullets from the Civil War.

Stream Filthy Fortunes Season 2 from Thursday, 26 February at 8:05PM on Discovery Channel 121.

We’re off to the races with host Natalie Gruzlewski, as four farmers – Corey, Jarrad, Thomas (wheat, barley and lentil farmer), and Tom (sheep farmer) – face 32 ladies in a speed-dating round, before they take the pick of the crop back to their farms to show them around.
