In a change of pace, Matt is joined by Luke to assess how they are feeling about the TV we’ve had so far this year. Has it been a good year so far? Have there been many original hits? Have the returning favourites lived up to expectations? Can terrestrial television still be part of the conversation? Enjoy this free-flowing conversation between two TV lovers.

Matt, Dawn and Mo are back to review the new shows available this week. On ITV, there’s a second series of medical thriller Malpractice. It’s an odd show to bring back, given that it wasn’t a big show or overly discussed but it would appear that ITV are hoping this will be a returning series featuring a team who are brought in to investigate medical malpractice. On Prime Video, Amy Sherman Paladino is back for ballet drama Étoile.

After last week’s brutally chaotic episode, episode 3 ofThe Last of Us is more interested in the quiet moments of grief and the long road ahead for Jackson’s survivors. Beginning with the aftermath of the infected onslaught that brought death and destruction and a greater sense of fear to Jackson; we see Tommy (Gabriel Luna) cleaning Joel (Pedro Pascal) up before his burial.

Matt, Dawn, and Sarah review the new Sky Max travelogue Joe Lycett’s United States of Birmingham, which gives Sarah the opportunity to talk eloquently about the city she loves. Then, Unforgotten writer Chris Lang has a new mystery series on U&Alibi featuring a ton of familiar faces. There’s also a sweet hidden gem in the Canadian comedy North of North, which is now available on Netflix.

Interestingly, both episodes of The Last of Us season 2 have opened with Abby (Kaitlyn Dever), much like I mentioned during my review of episode 1; we see the fallout of Joel’s actions and how they affect others. This time, we open with Abby’s nightmare: her younger self finding what remains of Joel’s rampage at the Firefly base in Salt Lake City after being warned by her current self not to go inside.
