Season three of this historical epic sees Catherine (Elle Fanning) and Peter (Nicholas Hoult) attempt to make their marriage work after some seemingly insurmountable problems. Rather inconveniently, Peter has survived a murder attempt by his wife, and she’s imprisoned his closest allies. Unsurprisingly, he’s not happy with the position he’s landed in. There’s also visions of his late father (Jason Isaacs) taunting him about all of his failures.

PRIME VIDEO

A fun and frothy adaptation of the classic collaboration between iconic authors Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, this fantasy comedy sees the End Times triggered by the birth of the son of Satan. While all might seem lost, the angel Aziraphale and the demon Crowley are attempting to sabotage the proposed events – simply because they’re grown quite comfortable living in England.

Thankfully, the proposed Antichrist was having none of heavy expectations placed upon him. But don’t’ celebrate just yet. The world could still be turned upside down. Gabriel has left Heaven, worried something terrible is about to happen on Earth. Aziraphale and Crowley now struggle to shield him from danger, as another terrible battle looms.
