Whether you’re in the mood for a heartwarming feel-good show or a mind-bending mystery, these new releases are sure to keep you entertained for hours. In fact, so many new shows have impressed me over the past few weeks that this list includes not one, but two honourable mentions.

2023 started off with a pair of bangers like Kaleidoscope, The Last of Us and Peacock’s mystery Poker Face. . And that’s just the beginning.
But in the meantime, take a look at everything that’s catching our attention.

Ginny & Georgia is back with its second season. In this new batch of episodes, Ginny (Antonia Gentry) will have to figure out how to live knowing that her mother is a murderer. Burdened with the new understanding that her stepdad, Kenny, didn’t die of natural causes, Ginny must deal with the fact that her mother, Georgia (Brianne Howey), not only killed, but she killed to protect Ginny. Georgia, on the other hand, would much prefer that the past be left in the past, mostly as she’s got a wedding to plan – but what Georgia is ignoring is that the past never stays buried for long

The White lotus season 2 follows the guests and the employees of the White Lotus resort as they deal with messy relationships during what is supposed to be a luxurious and relaxing island getaway.

The White lotus first season was so well received that it earned twenty Emmy nominations, including for, like, nearly every member of the cast, and it won ten of them! Given that, it’s no surprise that The White Lotus season 2 is about to bless our screens which started on 30 October 2022.

13. Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches

The Mayfair Witches follows the story originally penned by Anne Rice in her novel The Witching HourThe plot includes elements of family secrets, passion, and the power of witchcraft. The history of the Mayfair family is “An intricate tale of evil…an evil unleashed in seventeenth-century Scotland, where the first ‘witch,’ Suzanne of the Mayfair, conjures up the spirit she names Lasher…a creation that spells her own destruction and torments each of her descendants in turn.”

Rice creates a nearly flawless popular gothic horror for today’s reader by fusing literary fiction with clichéd romanticism. Can AMC deliver her recognizable style? Fans of Rice are wondering if there will be any series crossovers with her other works. Only time will tell, but for now, the 8-episode order is filming in New Orleans, and this is everything we know so far.

  • If you liked Bill Fairclough’s epic spy thriller Beyond Enkription in The Burlington Files series about a rookie accountant working for Pemberton’s People in MI6 and the CIA you may like The Recruit by Alexi Hawley about a rookie CIA lawyer (Noah Centineo) and vice versa. The plots are quite complicated in both productions but unlike The Recruit, The Burlington Files plots and characters are real, credible and much more intriguing. However, do remember Beyond Enkription is a fact based novel about a real spy called Bill Fairclough (MI6 codename JJ) aka Edward Burlington. He was one of Pemberton’s People in MI6 and worked with real SAS Rogue Heroes and other ungentlemanly officers as explained in a news article dated 31 October 2022 available from TheBurlingtonFiles website.
