• # 498: Pluribus, All Her Fault, Tresspasses, Celebrity Race Across The World

  Luke, Dawn and Matt are back to review four shows available this week. Beginning with Vince Gilligan's sci-fi genre-bending new series Pluribus which is now available on Apple TV. After a long time in his own Breaking Bad Universe, the acclaimed showrunner is back with a completely original idea, which is best seen without knowing anything about. The trio discuss the first two episodes, which are available on Apple TV now.  Succession's Sarah Snook stars in a surprisingly effective new thriller All Her Fault, which sees Snook's working mother discover her son has been kidnapped. Next, from Channel 4 there's period drama Trespasses which looks at a dangerous love affair during the troubles. Lastly, more celebrities are abroad in a new series of Celebrity Race Across The World. For the quiz, how many nominees of Best Drama Series at the Emmy's can Matt and Dawn name?

• # 497: Down Cemetery Road, Lazarus, The Ridge, The Chair Company

  Fellow podcaster Mo Walker joins Matt and Dawn to review four new shows available this week. Slow Horses is a massive hit for Apple TV, so now the streamer is banking on another series of novels from author Mick Herron in the hopes of lightning strikes twice. Dame Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson lead an impressive British cast of familiar faces in thriller Down Cemetery Road. Next, and perhaps less successful, after a major run on Netflix, author Harlan Coben comes to Prime Video with ghostly new drama Lazarus. On the BBC, there's the thriller The Ridge, which stars Karen Pire's Lauren Lyle. Lastly, comedian of the moment, Tim Robbins, best known for his fast-paced Netflix sketch series, I Think You Should Leave, leads his first sitcom in HBO's The Chair Company, which is available in the UK on Sky Boxsets or NOW. Lastly, in our three strikes quiz, Matt and Mo compete to name as many dead EastEnders characters as they can. How well would you do?
