This week‘s best TV shows offer a great balance of laughs and suspense. If you loved Derry Girls, you’ll be thrilled to hear that the new series from its creator, How to Get to Heaven from Belfast, is coming to Netflix.
There’s a new, quirky comedy on BBC this week, and if you prefer something darker, a popular detective series is returning for another season. With plenty to choose from, check out the highlights of the week’s TV shows!
How to Get to Heaven from Belfast
The creator of Derry Girls, Lisa McGee, is back with a new dark comedy called How to Get to Heaven from Belfast. The show follows the lives of three childhood friends: Saoirse (played by Roisin Gallagher), Robyn (Sinéad Keenan), and Dara (Caoilfhionn Dunne).
What to Read Next
Three close friends, now in their thirties, receive an email bringing news of the death of a childhood friend they’d lost touch with, launching them on an exciting and unexpected adventure.
The story follows a group of people traveling to a funeral, and their journey quickly turns into a wild, funny, and risky adventure across Ireland and other places. Soon, long-held secrets and truths about their shared history begin to surface.
How to Get to Heaven from Belfast is available to watch from Thursday 12 February on Netflix.
Lord of the Flies
Based on William Golding’s 1954 novel, Lord of the Flies tells the story of a group of schoolboys who find themselves stranded on a tropical island after their plane crashes.
I’m really gripped by this story about Ralph, who everyone looks to as the leader, especially with the smart ideas coming from Piggy. But things quickly fall apart – it’s not long before a power struggle starts, and what began as hope for rescue turns into something truly awful…
You can watch Lord of the Flies on BBC One starting Sunday, February 8th at 9pm. It will also be available to stream on BBC iPlayer from 6am that same day.
Cross, season 2
A new criminal has emerged, and it’s up to the skilled detective Alex Cross (Aldis Hodge), who also understands the criminal mind, to catch them.
This season, Alex receives information about a killer focusing on CEOs, especially the leader of a company working to solve world hunger. Now, Cross needs to stop this dangerous vigilante before they strike again.
Cross season 2 is available to watch from Wednesday 11 February on Prime Video.
Small Prophets
Seven years after his wife vanished, Michael Sleep (Pearce Quigley), who used to be quite unusual, now leads a simple life. He works at a hardware store and still holds onto hope that she’ll come back.
Everything changes when a visit with his father inspires him to embark on a quest to create Homunculi – magical beings said to be able to foresee the future.
This six-part sitcom stars Mackenzie Crook and Michael Palin.
You can watch “Small Prophets” starting Monday, February 9th at 10pm on BBC Two. It will also be available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
The Art of Sarah
Trouble begins when Sarah Kim, a master of deception, meets the astute detective Mu-gyeong. Their encounter throws everything into disarray.
Sarah Kim is fiercely determined to succeed and create a lavish lifestyle, and she won’t let the fact that her success is based on dishonesty stop her.
That is, until the relentless Mu-gyeong threatens to bring her world crashing down around her.
The Art of Sarah is available to watch from Friday 12 February on Netflix.
The Artful Dodger, season 2
Thomas Brodie-Sangster’s character, the Artful Dodger, is in serious trouble. The story reveals he’s facing execution, is being pursued by the new police inspector, Boxer (Luke Bracey), and will be hanged if he even catches a glimpse of the woman he loves, Lady Belle (Maia Mitchell).
He’s not alone in facing challenges this season. Lady Belle’s pursuit of a medical career will also have its difficulties. Joining the cast in season two are Luke Bracey as Inspector Henry Boxer, Jeremy Sims as Uncle Dickie, and newcomer Zac Burgess as Phineas Golden.
The Artful Dodger season 2 is available to watch from Tuesday 10 February on Disney+.
