This week on the TV Gold podcast, Andrew Mercado and James Manning review:

It Gets Worse (Binge, 6 episodes)
Three close college best friends—Ethan (Leo Reich), Abi (Emily Fairn), and Sam (Olive Gray)— and their chaotic lives in London. Good cast, but does this Gen-Z comedy try too hard? Memorable first episode with Andrew Scott cameo. We mean memorable! Strap yourself in…

Black Doves S2 (Netflix, 6 episodes)
Speaking of strapping yourself in, are you ready for more assassins on the loose in London? Undercover spy Helen Webb (Keira Knightley) struggles to balance her double life while her husband, Wallace (Andrew Buchan), ascends to become the Prime Minister of the UK. Suspend your disbelief here to enjoy the storyline as Black Doves boss Reed (Sarah Lancashire) goes missing with fellow undercover spy Sam (Ben Wishaw) joins the search.

Adultery (HBO Max, 6 episodes)
This week’s surprise packet. Love this script for its honesty, ironically in a series about cheating! There is no villain here with neither of the adulterers encouraging the other into a relationship. No tricks or shock twists, but it builds to a must-watch last episode. Fantastic cast dealing with life and some of the challengers it throws up as best they can.
