  • Summary

  • TV Insider Paul Symonds joins Matt and Dawn to review 4 of the biggest shows available this week. Firstly, it's the return of Mike White's HBO anthology series The White Lotus, set at another luxurious resort this time in Thailand. The podcast trio look into what makes the show so successful and drills into the big themes of the opening episode. Next up, a starry cast does not an interesting drama make as they look at political thriller Zero Day from Netflix. The series, which boasts a lead performance by Robert De Niro feels rather odd given the current state of American politics.

    Over on Disney+, there's period drama A Thousand Blows from prolific TV scribe Steven Knight which has been promoted as the 'Stephen Graham Boxing drama' but is actually something much more interesting. Finally, the only BBC offering this week is Dope Girls, similar in tone to 'Blows' this gritty period piece promises a lot but does it deliver?

    There's also discussion on Sky's Mussolini drama, the final episodes of Big Boys on Channel 4 and ITV's Unforgotten.
