Too much football on TV? Watch these 50 unmissable...
With the Euros kicking off, fans up and down the UK will be glued to their screens. But what if you don't like football?
That's an epic piece of scene-setting but at the core of this show is a drama about a wildly dysfunctional family who happen to be in charge of armies and dragons, and that's what's built over the course of the opener, as Rhaenyra mourns and rages, Daemon (Matt Smith) schemes revenge, and new King Aegon II starts to test his limits. The Matrix's Carrie-Anne Moss adds considertable initial appeal with her 'force fu' as the Trinity-like Indara, while other cast members include Dafne Keen (His Dark Materials) and Manny Jacinto (The Good Place), although the actual star is The Hunger Games' Amanda Stenberg who plays two very different twin sisters. Produced by Steven Spielberg's Amblin (which also gave us Band Of Brothers and its sequel, The Pacific), it's stacked with talent in every area, most obviously in the creation of the aerial sequences and in its cast, which boasts Austin Butler (Elvis), Callum Turner (Fantastic Beasts), Barry Keoghan (Saltburn) and even Doctor Who himself - Ncuti Gatwa - among the aviators flying with the 100th Bomb Group.
