Stranger Things (Netflix)<\/p>\n
In July 2016 Netflix unleashed a phenomenon in the shape of a 1980s-set horror sci-fi that would become the most-watched show on the planet. Five seasons later, the feature-length finale is upon us. By the time you read this, the battle between good and evil in Hawkins, Indiana, will be settled. But who has been victorious and which of our favourite characters have been lost in their attempt to push back an increasingly dangerous Vecna? We hope you stayed off social media long enough that it\u2019s all still a surprise. Red Eye (ITVX)<\/p>\n This British espionage thriller returns across six parts. Jing Lusi reprises her role as DS Hana Li, joined by a new sidekick in the shape of Line of Duty\u2019s Martin Compston, as the pair put aside past differences to tackle a complex conspiracy. Leaning into high-stakes political uncertainty and geopolitical turbulence, the story begins in the US embassy as the newly appointed ambassador to London is given a baptism of fire: a British plane is under threat if anyone leaves the building. And then a series of murders begins \u2026<\/p>\n The Traitors (BBC iPlayer) Claudia Winkleman hosts The Traitors in the UK<\/p>\n BBC<\/p>\n After the huge success of The Celebrity Traitors, the civilian series returns for a welcome fourth run as a fun start to 2026. While there\u2019s no return for big-name contestants such as Stephen Fry and Jonathan Ross, Claudia Winkleman is back to oversee the plotting and murder in the Scottish castle. The show \u2014 made by the same production company as Squid Game: The Challenge, which is worth checking out on Netflix \u2014 should provide plenty of January cheer as the dark, cold nights continue. <\/p>\n Read our episode one recap and rankings<\/a><\/p>\n Ricky Gervais: Mortality (Netflix)<\/p>\n He\u2019s one of Britain\u2019s greatest comedy exports, and the co-creator of The Office and Extras and mastermind behind After Life is still going strong. In his latest special, Mortality (Armageddon, Humanity and SuperNature are all available on Netflix), Gervais once again lets loose as he riffs on the subject of death with his trademark black humour front and centre, leaving nothing off the table.
