There are so many shows and streaming platforms that sometimes it can be hard to know where to start - and like us, you might end up going back to watching an old favourite for the umpteenth time (Schitt’s Creek for the 12th time, anyone?!). However, there have been some awesome shows in 2023 - with many more epic ones to come. Check out the best shows that you need to add to your must-watch list…
Poker Face - NOW/Sky
Natasha Lyonne is a drifter who can always tell when someone is lying - meaning that she is banned from all of the casinos in America and, for reasons that will be revealed, is on the run. Unfortunately, every town she stops in appears to have a murder that only she can solve. This case-of-the-week series - created by Knives Out creator Rian Johnson - is a smart and fresh must-watch.
Colin from Accounts - BBC
After a cheeky moment causes two strangers to accidentally injure a dog, Ashley and Gordon have to join together to help the pooch back on its feet (or wheels, in this case), and of course end up falling for one another. Genuinely smart and very, very funny, this is for anyone who loves shows like Gavin and Stacey or Catastrophe.
The Big Door Prize - Apple TV+
Chris O’Dowd stars as a guy bemused by his friends and relatives when they all begin to change their lives thanks to a game that tells them what their full potential could be. A funny and smart look on how to live your life, Chris is brilliant as our hero in this charming series.
The Crowded Room - Apple TV+
Coming soon to the streaming platform, Tom Holland stars in this one as a troubled young man who is brought in for questioning when his companion Ariana tries to shoot a man in New York City. As we learn more about Danny’s life, we finally out some shocking twists about what exactly has gone down. To say much more would be to give the game of this psychological thriller away…
The Gallow’s Pole - BBC Two
This historical three-part series is directed by the genius behind the This is England franchise, and follows a group of Yorkshire workers who almost cripple the economy by forging coins, turning themselves into a criminal enterprise. The true story is both entertaining and funny, and we’ve been loving it.

Rebecca Ferguson stars as Juliette, a mechanic living in a mysterious silo, an underground world full of the last-ever community of people. But why are they there, who put them there, and why aren’t they allowed to go outside? This is a claustrophobic murder mystery that will keep you guessing.
