Every Friday, TMINE lets you know when the latest TV shows from around the world will air in the UK

It’s been a week of relatively few acquisitions. However, StarzPlay has acquired all four Starz (US)’s spin-offs of Power. They’ll be available the day after they air in the US, but the shows haven’t been made yet, so new premiere dates for them.

Otherwise, all the premiere dates are for Netflix originals: Spectros, Puerta 7 and Gentefied. Bar a couple of shows that My5 bought on Wednesday and instantly made available to everyone, and one Netflix show that’s out today.

Orange Thursday: A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (2019) and Parasite (2019)

13 February 2020 Rob Buckley 12 Comments

After skipping last week thanks to TMINE taking the day off, Orange Thursday is back with two top movie reviews, both of which are out in the cinemas – and getting both Oscar nominations and wins.

The two movies in question are:

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (2019) – in which a jaded journalist has his life changed for the better (for once) by a famous 1970s children’s TV presenter
Parasite (2019) – South Korea unexpectedly does Ayn Rand, in a genre-shifting version of ITV show Chancer

See you after the ads and the trailers.
