Every Friday, TMINE lets you know when the latest TV shows from around the world will air in the UK
It’s been a quiet week for acquisitions and it’s been almost as quiet for premiere dates, but thanks to everyone’s favourite overly indebted Internet streaming service, we do know when a couple of shows are set to start.
Premiere dates
Tidelands (Netflix)
Premiere date: Friday, December 14
Apparently, this is the year for evil murderous mermaids, since hot on the heels of Freeform’s Siren, we have Australian alternative Tidelands. It stars Charlotte Best (Puberty Blues) as a young woman who returns home to her tiny fishing village having spent the past 10 years in juvenile detention and jail, and Elsa Pataky (Fast And The Furious) as the leader of the mysterious half-human/half-Siren tribe known as the Tidelanders.
It also stars Aaron Jakubenko (Spartacus: War Of The Damned) Peter O’Brien (Neighbours, X-Men Origins: Wolverine), Madeleine Madden (Mystery Road), Caroline Brazier (Rake), Dalip Sondhi (Secret City) and Marco Pigossi (Caras E Bocas).
You (Netflix)
Premiere date: Wednesday, December 26
Boy meets girl. Boy falls in love with girl because she’s the one and they’re made for each other. It’s the plot of every good romcom and Gossip Girl‘s Penn Badgley certainly thinks he’s Harry in When Harry Met Sally. Except he’s actually a murderous stalker in a surprisingly smart series about male entitlement and patriarchy and he’ll do anything to protect her, even from herself. The show has you wanting the two to get together, so conditioned are we by rom-coms, as Badgley goes through the normal motions of chasing the girl of his dreams; it’s just we also don’t want them to get together because we can guess what might happen when reality and fantasy collide. Probably going to be in the TMINE Top x Shows of 2018, so watch when it arrives.
Episode reviews: 1-2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
