We have already had some amazing streaming debuts this year, which are worthy of inclusion amongst the great shows mentioned above. Here are three of them for you to binge onNetflix,Amazon PrimeVideo andDisney+ right now.

Neil Gaiman is quite possibly one of the best writers of his generation. With decades of work in fiction and comic book writing and a simply huge portfolio of work available to draw inspiration from, it was only a matter of time before television realised the potential.

Attempts in the 90s and early 2000s were a mixed bag, with the BBC trying its hand withNeverwhere,and a movie adaptation ofStardustthat didn’t quite set the world alight. However, we’ve had better luck in latter years, with Prime Video’sAmerican GodsandGood Omens. Then there’sThe Sandmanon Netflix, which gleaned solid reviews and an appreciative fan base.

Dead Boy Detectivesis an eight-part spinoff of that, sort of. iIt is set in the same universe and is Gaiman’s latest work to grace our screens. As such, it’s well worth a watch.

Treading a very fine line between young adult programming, gore-filled horror, and a romantic comedy, the show is a complete blast and a lot of fun. Think 2022’sLockwood & Coif it had a bigger budget, a better cast and better CGI.

This latest Netflix series is spooky, sexy and stupid, yet it gives the audience a rich and detailed world filled with well explained and developed lore. Performances are solid, stories are interesting and at no point does the shadow of Gaiman ever not cross its path. Monsters can kill, people swear, and relationships are explored in a modern and open way that is refreshing considering the genre.

Importantly though, it is companion piece toThe Sandmanthat can easily be watched without ever seeing that show.

I wonder at what point the executives realised she was being serious and Ant & Dec were not controlling her from a hidden room.

However, as ludicrous as it sounds on paper,Renegade Nellhit Disney+ to great reviews and interest. The Wainwright touch certainly shows in the dialogue and at no point can you accuse her of sticking to type. This is as far away from the grime and degradation ofHappy Valley,but it’s good to see a writer who is unafraid of change.

It’s also refreshing to watch something that is decidedly different – even though it has released around the same time asApple TV+‘sThe Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin, another offbeat highway person comedy.

Renegade Nell is fast-paced and lavish in comparison, and is a solid binge watch for anyone looking for a bit of escapism.

If, back in 1997, you had told me that the weird little post-apocalyptic PC RPG i was obsessed with would become arecord-breaking TV show, I would have laughed then ignored you.

But this became a thing!

It’s funny, exciting, gory, bold and lavish. It appreciates its core audience and honours the lore and the world building that has come before, not least thanks to tight direction from self-confessed fan Jonathan Nolan (Westworld,The Dark Knight).

Like the games, it never takes itself too seriously, nor mocks those who led to its creation. It is also open enough to attract a new casual audience and equally happy to give a knowing nod to those ‘in the know’

Falloutboasts fantastic central performances from its trio of leads – Ella Purnell as the inexperienced and yet determined Vault Dweller Lucy, Walton Goggins as dogged and ruthless bounty hunter The Ghoul, and Aaron Moten as the disillusioned Brotherhood initiate Maximus.

If you are a fan of the games, watch it right now. If you have never even heard of them, watch it anyway. It’s simple really, you must watchFalloutfull stop.
