TV's Autumn Comeback: Must-Watch Shows Emerge
19 Sep
Summary
- New HBO/Sky drama 'War' offers a smart, trashy divorce narrative.
- Slow Horses returns with a stronger, more focused sixth season.
- The Paper's second season provides warm humor with a great cast.
Following a quiet summer dominated by the World Cup, television is making a powerful return this autumn, promising a wealth of new and unmissable programming.
The current television landscape is highlighted by HBO and Sky's new divorce drama, 'War.' This series, featuring Sienna Miller and Dominic West, is described as a midpoint between trashy entertainment and intelligent storytelling, known for its propulsive narrative and significant cliffhangers.
Further bolstering the autumn schedule is the return of 'Slow Horses' for its sixth season. Despite its longevity, this new run is considered by some to be its strongest, featuring a streamlined, chase-driven plot and sharp writing.
Remakes and spin-offs are also proving their worth. The second season of 'The Paper' offers warmth and humor with a developing ensemble cast, while 'Reckless,' a spin-off of 'Guilt,' successfully retains tension and adds new dimensions.
Other anticipated shows include the return of 'Rivals,' 'The Celebrity Traitors,' Sharon Horgan's new series 'Youth,' Apple's 'Brothers,' and Amazon's 'Blade Runner 2099.' This abundance suggests that for the first time in a while, there may be more quality television available than time to watch it.
