So, sit back and enjoy our pick of the 7 best shows to watch this week on ITV, Netflix, the BBC and more.<\/p>\n

Adultery \"from<\/p>\n

Thomas Wood<\/p>\n

Anyone else slightly obsessed with ITV\u2019s new relationship drama<\/a>? If you’re yet to start it, here\u2019s a brief recap: two 15-year-olds, Jess (Leila Khan) and Ollie (Johnny Sanpher), are in the throes of first love and can\u2019t keep their hands off each other. But when Jess\u2019s dad, Tom (Dominic Cooper), meets Ollie\u2019s mum, Beth (Romola Garai) – both of whom married – another attraction forms. And can they fight it? Absolutely not. Brutally honest and gloriously messy. Continues on ITV1 at 9pm on Sunday 1st November and Monday 2nd November. <\/p>\n

Tall Tales & Murder\"person<\/p>\n

BBC<\/p>\n

The BBC\u2019s new darkly comic drama is a delightfully bizarre affair. Based on the popular books in Caimh McDonnell\u2019s The Dublin Trilogy, we meet Bridget (Ella-Lily Hyland), an unconventional nurse who works the night shift at a Dublin nursing home. She reads the residents horror stories, arranges clandestine late-night dances and euthanises them if they ask nicely… we\u2019re being serious. Then there\u2019s Paul (Casey Walsh), a young man stuck stealing cars to repay a debt to crime boss Ma Baker (Philippa Dunne) \u2013 and, well, the story only gets weirder and more wonderful from there. Arriving on Tuesday 3rd November at 10..40pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.<\/p>\n

The Gilded Age\"period<\/p>\n

ALISON COHEN ROSA<\/p>\n

Sky’s New York high society drama is returning for a fourth instalment. The drama is far from over as Bertha\u2019s (Carrie Coon) family must reckon with the consequences of changing Society. Meanwhile, Agnes van Rhijn (Cynthia Nixon) seizes an opportunity to regain her position, Marian (Louisa Jacobson) forges a new path for herself, and Peggy (Den\u00e9e Benton) is working hard to be accepted by her future in-laws. Another outstanding Julian Fellowes creation. Series 2 is arriving on Monday 2nd November at 9pm on Sky Atlantic.<\/p>\n

All\u2019s Fair\"all\u2019s<\/p>\n

Ser Baffo<\/p>\n

Ryan Murphy\u2019s star-studded legal drama, which follows the female-led team at Grant, Ronson & Greene, is entering its second series. When we last saw Allura Grant (Kim Kardashian) and her powerhouse legal team, things weren’t exactly going brilliantly for them. A familiar face was plotting to destroy the firm, one of their own was facing a murder charge and their personal lives weren’t going much better either. Now, they’re back and friendships are about to be seriously tested. Series 2 is arriving on Wednesday 4th November on Disney+. <\/p>\n

Black Doves \"black<\/p>\n

Matthew Towers<\/p>\n

Netflix\u2019s megahit spy thriller is fast becoming the new Slow Horses as it brings us a glorious second series. Keira Knightley is back as Helen Webb and she\u2019s still betraying her nation\u2019s secrets to the Black Doves. But now that her husband, Wallace (Andrew Buchan), is preparing to become Prime Minister, she\u2019s walking a more dangerous path than ever. And it\u2019s not any easier for Reed (Sarah Lancashire) who finds herself ensnared in a ruthless plot to undermine her position in the Black Doves. We can\u2019t wait. Series 2 is arriving on Thursday 5th November on Netflix. <\/p>\n

Return to Paradise\"tx<\/p>\n

Photographer:\/\/BBC<\/p>\n

It might not be Death in Paradise but, if you ask us, Return to Paradise is just as good. The third series of the Australian spin-off will take us back to Dolphin Cove where DS Mackenzie Clarke (Anna Samson) has quite the interesting array of investigations on her hands. There\u2019s an artist who\u2019s been stabbed in full view of an audience, a wildlife worker who\u2019s killed in a locked cage, and a film director who\u2019s been shot at her own screening. It\u2019s safe to say, there\u2019s no time to get bored. Series 3 is arriving on Friday 6th November on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. <\/p>\n

The Assassin\"group<\/p>\n

Amazon Prime<\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t yet seen Keeley Hawes’ performance as not-so-retired assassin, Julie, now would be a good time to catch up. In series 1, her new life on an idyllic Greek island was rudely interrupted by an enemy from the past. In series 2, she finds herself teaming up with her son, Edward (Freddie Highmore), once again \u2013 albeit reluctantly \u2013 when his dream honeymoon with Kayla (Shalom Brune-Franklin) is hijacked and his wife is taken hostage. Not the most enjoyable honeymoon then. Series 2 is arriving on Friday 6th November on Prime Video.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you\u2019ve found yourself here because you want to know exactly what you should be watching this week,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":671709,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[1578,82237,93,61,60,8642,1868,199542,282,57837],"class_list":["post-671708","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-bbc","tag-best-tv-this-week","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-itv","tag-netflix","tag-slow-horses","tag-tv","tag-what-to-watch-this-week"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/671708","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=671708"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/671708\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/671709"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=671708"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=671708"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=671708"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
