20 Must-See Shows To Watch This Weekend - from Netflix,...


If you're looking for some brilliant TV shows to watch this weekend, look no further. Our critics have picked out the must-watch movies, as well as laugh-out-loud comedy shows and series.

Billed as a 'swashbuckling romantasy series set in an alt-fantasy Tudor world', the eight-parter is based on a string of novels that reimagine the life of Lady Jane Grey, the teenager known as the 'Nine Days Queen' who was beheaded by Bloody Mary after a depressingly short stint on the throne. It's full to the brim with colourful costumes, characters and events from the very start, as we meet Jane (Emily Bader) and her unlovely mother (Anna Chancellor), who is scheming to marry her off to the son of the hilariously poisonous Lord Dudley (Rob Brydon). This edgy, six-part British take on the superhero story unfolds in south London, where we're introduced to a number of people struggling to make ends meet - including one played by Tosin Cole (Ryan in Doctor Who) - who may just have powers they didn't know existed.
