King & Conqueror, Season 1
BBC’s King & Conqueror sets out to bring the historical Battle of Hastings, 1066, roaring back to life. James Norton (Harold) and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (William) lead the charge, their performances steady but not exactly electric.
One niggle is that the show is so relentlessly dark – definitely not one to watch during the day, unless you’ve got blackout blinds. Still, there’s plenty to get stuck into: betrayals, alliances, and scheming monarchs. It’s a drama that doesn’t quite conquer but has enough intrigue to keep you watching.
The Fortune Hotel, Season 2
ITV’s The Fortune Hotel returns with plenty of drama, poker faces, and a suitcase full of cold hard cash. Host Stephen Mangan once again presents a holiday paradise that’s anything but relaxing, as 11 pairs arrive with briefcases that may hold life-changing riches… or an early checkout. The tension builds across eight episodes, as strategy, deception, and sheer luck collide at the Lady Luck Bar — a place where alliances crumble and fortunes flip faster than the breakfast pancakes.
Season two ups the ante with a brutal opening twist and contestants who feel sharper, funnier, and more ruthless than before. Very addictive viewing.
