After having high hopes for Truth Seekers (2020), the new Simon Pegg and Nick Frost series didn't quite land for Sam. If you're a fan of their usual work, Hot Fuzz (2007) and Shaun of the Dead (2004), then it's worth giving it a go but you might be better off just watching one of the classics.

Everyone's been talking about The Queen's Gambit (2020), Sam watched it and yes, it is as good as everyone says. Following the story of a young chess player, Sam reckons this show might even make Top Five of the year.

Sam pops in after watching The Boys season two and it's safe to say it's very good, so good that he has already started watching it again. Definitely one to add to the list.

Sam watched PEN15 (2019-) and definitely thinks it worth the critically acclaimed status. Although it didn't always hit right for Sam, this coming of age series is definitely one to catch.

Sam watched Utopia (2020), and although we're surprised this show even got the green light to be released this year; Sam still reckons it's binge-worthy. Not sure if it's better than the original but certanily a cathartic watch.

Sam binge-watched Ryan Murphy's latest show, Ratched (2020-). And to be honest, it wasn't his favourite. With a not-so-great script and a bonkers plotline, this is one you might or might not enjoy.

Today Sam chats to Rachel and Zoë about Succession. It's a long one but a good one, and according to Sam if you hate rich people and want to dismantle capitalism, this is the one for you. Check it out on Neon!

Sam binge watched Duchess (2020) on Netflix and reckons it's a bit of fun. A short, autobiographical, series about Katherine Ryan and her journey through motherhood. Definitely a good one for a two-hour-binge that's sure to make you laugh and cry.

Billie Piper produces and stars in I Hate Suzie (2020) and honestly, Sam can't get enough. Whilst not having huge expectations for this show, it blew him out of the water. Definitely one to binge watch this weekend.

Sam Sinnott watch Shrill (2019) in two days, and he reckons it's pretty good. Although he would've liked to see the show go a little further with it's core themes, he reckons this one is worth sitting down and watching through. Good stuff.
