The Paper, Season One

Stepping into the shoes of The Office was always going to be a near-impossible task, and The Paper knows it. Domhnall Gleeson leads as Ned Sampson, the new editor of a struggling local newspaper, trying to inject life into an industry long declared dead. The series cleverly pivots away from office politics and instead digs into the absurdities of modern journalism, such as clickbait headlines and failing ad revenues. There’s plenty of dry humour, and it’s a quirky watch for fans of the original. Watch on NOW TV or Peacock.

The Summer I Turned Pretty, Season 3

Teen romance, The Summer I Turned Pretty, continues to age well. Season three jumps forward in time, dropping Belly, Conrad, Jeremiah, and friends into the emotional minefield of early adulthood. It’s still dreamy and sun-drenched, but the tone feels a little more grown-up. However, some of the dramatic emotions prove they are still in their youthful, messy years. It’s cheesy at times, but definitely bingeworthy – even if you’re long past your teenage years. Watch on Prime Video.
