This season we revisit Westeros, and the lands beyond in a fight for the iron throne. Prepare yourself for some heartbreak and some tears , though if you’re a regular of the show you probably already knew that. Or perhaps you’re like Jon Snow, you know nothing.
AMC Sundays 9/8c
Comics being made into AMC television shows is nothing new nowadays. With shows like The Walking Dead crushing ratings, its no doubt that Preacher will do the same. Based on the Vertigo comic book of the same name written by Garth Brooks, Preacher follows Jesse Custer, a small town Texan preacher , who is possessed by a mysterious supernatural force which gives him strange powers . He is thrust into a world that is volatile, irreverent and strange. The show stars Dominic Cooper as Jesse Custer, Ruth Negga as Tulip, Jesse Custer’s ex-girlfriend, and Joseph Gilgun, as Cassidy who is described as an “ Irish vagabond {that} is a glutton for every possible vice”. The show’s absurd, violent, comedic, tone is worth a watch.

Netflix has gone and done it again. They initially knocked it out of the park with Orange is the New Black and Lady Dynamite follows in its footsteps. This comedy not only stars Maria Bamford but is loosely based on her life. She plays a fictionalized version of herself who has returned to Los Angeles after 6 months of recovery from bipolar disorder. The show addresses mental health in a respectful way and yet is entirely comedic. Worth a watch.
