The kids are in school – claim back Netflix

Star Trek: Discovery (S1)

Just as space is endless, so are the possibilities for milking the Star Trek franchise – not that sci-fi nerds will be upset about that. is new series is set a decade before the original adventures of Kirk and co.

Bojack Horseman (S4)

You’d think a show featuring brightly animated animals that act like humans would be a silly old hoot. But Bojack Horseman is as soul-squashing as it is funny. Who’d have thought we’d be so invested in a trouser-wearing horse?

Okja

You’ll never look at a pork chop the same way again after watching Okja, the tale of an adorable superpig that yanks at your heartstrings with the power of a sausage grinder. If anything will make you a vegetarian, it’s this.

The Girl on the Train

Every train is home to at least one booze-stinking waster, but where we come from they don’t usually look like Emily Blunt… and they’re not usually the prime suspect in a missing person investigation.

Outlander (S3)

Most romantic dramas are complicated by gossip, affairs and pregnancies, but Outlander opts for even more confusing heartache by adding a dash of time travel. If only we could go back in time to sort our own love lives out.

Fallin Down

We’ve all been there. You’re stuck in traffic on a hot day and the air-con cuts out, so all you want to do is go a bit mad and smash things up… which is exactly what Michael Douglas does in this 1993 classic.

A Lea ue of Their Own (S12)

e Premier League is well and truly under way, but to get the most out of the season we’re going to need James Corden and pals to ridicule Wayne Rooney’s hair and Paul Pogba’s dabbing. Oh, and the actual football.

Ro ue One: A Star Wars Story

e Italian Job seemed like a pretty daring heist back in 1969. Compare it to Rogue One’s mission to steal the Death Star plans, however, and Michael Caine’s plot seems as trifling as stealing a Twix from Asda.

Tin Star (S1)

Everyone has an angry alter-ego we like to blame things on. You got angry and smashed a plate? at wasn’t you, it was ‘the other guy’. And that’s essentially Tim Roth’s excuse in this revenge-fuelled rampage.
