An action thriller to ‘keep you hooked’: 6 must-see shows on BBC, Netflix and more this week

by

TV fans have a fun week ahead! Not only will there be two new episodes of Death in Paradise, but the gripping BBC drama Conversations with Friends is moving to Netflix, along with other exciting shows from the streaming service.

Okay, so I just finished binging season two of The Night Agent on Netflix – seriously, it’s a total rollercoaster and everyone’s saying the same thing: you have to watch it! But if you’re like me and need another mystery after that, Apple TV+ has a new season of that thriller with Jennifer Garner and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, which looks pretty good too. Looks like I’m covered for a while!

Death in Paradise

Viewers of Death in Paradise are getting a double dose of the show this week! Siobhan Finneran will appear in the third episode, which will air on Monday to make up for last week’s missed episode.

What to Read Next

The BBC murder mystery series will then be back again at its usual slot of Friday 9pm.

Death in Paradise will air on Monday 16 February and Friday 20 February at 9pm on BBC One.

The Night Agent, season 3

I’m really excited to see Gabriel Basso back as FBI agent Peter Sutherland! This show is such a thrilling ride, and it’s great to see Netflix bringing it back as one of their major hits.

Season three will bring fresh excitement with new locations, daring stunts, interesting characters, and storylines, according to Shawn Ryan, the series’ creator, executive producer, and showrunner (via Tudum).

The Night Agent season 3 is available to watch from Thursday 19 February on Netflix.

The Last Thing He Told Me, season 2

Jennifer Garner’s tense mystery thriller The Last Thing He Told Me returns for a second season.

The story picks up again with the unexpected return of Owen (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), who’s been missing for five years. This throws Hannah (Naomi Watts) and her stepdaughter Bailey (Angourie Rice) into more turmoil as they try to rebuild their family, fearing that old threats will resurface.

The Last Thing He Told Me, season 2 is available to watch from Friday 20 February on Apple TV.

Queens of Mystery

UKTV calls Queens of Mystery a delightfully quirky murder mystery, and now it’s coming to U&Drama. The show centers on detective Mattie Stone (Olivia Vinall) and her three famous aunts, who also happen to be crime novelists.

Mattie, who is always single, solves puzzling murder mysteries with help from her aunts, who surprisingly also offer advice about her romantic life.

Mattie juggles dealing with bad dates and helping solve crimes, but she’s really preoccupied with a much more personal mystery: what happened to her mother, Eleanor. The search for Eleanor is a constant undercurrent throughout the various murder cases she investigates.

Queens of Mystery is available to watch from Thursday 19 February at 9pm on U&Drama

56 Days

This series is inspired by Catherine Ryan Howard’s novel and tells the story of Oliver (Avan Jogia) and Ciara (Dove Cameron from Agents of Shield). They meet in a supermarket and quickly fall in love, but their happiness is shattered when a body is found in Oliver’s house just 56 days later, and a homicide investigation begins.

Prime Video calls the series a captivating blend of crime drama and a thrilling, suspenseful psychological story with strong romantic elements.

56 Days is available to watch from Wednesday 18 February on Prime Video.

Conversations with Friends

This week, the BBC’s complicated and steamy drama, Conversations with Friends, arrives on Netflix and could be your next obsession. The story centers around Frances (Alison Oliver) and Bobbi (Sasha Lane), former lovers and best friends, who get involved with a married couple: writer and actor Melissa (Jemima Kirke) and Nick (Joe Alwyn), leading to a passionate and intriguing relationship.

Inspired by Sally Rooney’s novel, the story follows Melissa and Bobbi, who are openly attracted to each other, and Nick and Frances, who begin a passionate and unexpected secret relationship. This affair soon strains the close bond between Frances and Bobbi, leading Frances to question who she is and what their friendship truly means.

Conversations with Friends is available to watch from Sunday 22 February on Netflix.
