Those About to Die | Mr Bigstuff | Quantum Leap | The Jetty

Bingewatch

Ian and Hannah review the biggest new films and bingeable shows on UK streaming services for the week beginning Friday 19th July 2024, including:

Rome, 79 A.D.: The population—bored, restless, and increasingly violent—is kept in line by two things: free food and spectacular entertainment. As the taste in entertainment becomes more jaded and bloodthirsty, a stadium designed for gladiatorial combat is needed - the Colosseum. Underground, thousands of people work and live—among them thousands who will die for the games. Oscar winner Anthony Hopkins stars in Prime Video series Those About to Die.

Mr Bigstuff is a six-part comedy on Sky Max and Now TV starring Danny Dyer and Ryan Sampson, exploring broken families, fragile masculinity and... carpet sales.

Set 30 years after Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and vanished, the reboot follows a new team (led by Raymond Lee) that must restart the project hoping to understand the mysteries behind the machine and its creator. Quantum Leap is on Paramount+ now.

Beneath the tranquillity of her home town, a detective uncovers dark secrets that threaten everything she thought she knew about consent – and her own life. Starring Jenna Coleman, The Jetty is on BBC iPlayer.
