News and reviews about European TV
Acorn TV is a US channel that functions a little like Walter Presents does for us in the UK – except it also lets Americans enjoy the best of British TV as well.
(Obviously, for me, that’s ‘best’, but YMMV)
Now it’s launching in the UK today on Roku, Fire TV, Android and Apple mobile, Apple TV and (soon) Amazon Channels and Apple TV Channels. And here’s the trailer.
No acquisitions made at all this week, but there’s a whole bunch of premieres on the way nevertheless – thanks, streaming services!
Full details for White Lines, Penny Dreadful: City of Angels, Summertime, Almost Happy, Into the Night, Dispatches From Elsewhere, Trying and Queens of Mystery after the jump.

It’s been another busy week for TMINE, but I have managed to eke out the time needed to review The Baker and the Beauty (US: ABC). Meanwhile, temporary new film review feature Covideodrome was inaugurated with Sliding Doors (1998).
Coming up after the jump, I’ll be reviewing Mrs America (US: Hulu; UK: BBC Two) and #blackAF (Netflix). But as usual, Covid-19 rules apply to the following new shows: I have every intention of watching all of them, but might not be able to, for one reason or another.
I’ve finally managed to track down The Secrets She Keeps (Australia: Ten; UK: BBC Four), which will be getting a review later in the week. Elsewhere down under, over in New Zealand, One Lane Bridge has just started, so I’ll be giving that a watch if possible.
On the streaming services, Season two of After Life will be arriving on Netflix on Friday, while Defending Jacob is Apple TV+’s new Friday show. I’ll probably watch at least a bit of them. Monday’s Never Have I Ever (Netflix) sounds a bit YA for me, but I might give it a try, too.
Lastly, in the US, Penny Dreadful: City of Angels (US: Showtime) is arriving on Sunday, but despite the presence of Natalie Dormer in the cast, I’m not sure I can be bothered with this, given I wasn’t the greatest fan of Penny Dreadful.
But that looks like about it.
I haven’t watched any more Tales From The Loop, but other than that, it’s the usual regulars after the jump: For Life, Transplant, and Westworld, as well as the season/series finales of Devs and War of the Worlds.
But two previous regulars have returned this week, so I’ll also be covering What We Do In The Shadows (US: FX; UK: BBC Two) and Mystery Road (Australia: ABC; UK: BBC Four), too.
