The Last of Us

Watch The Last of Us on Now

The Last of Us is one of the most popular shows on Now at the moment. Adapted from the Naughty Dog game, it follows Joel and Ellie – two survivors of a devastating pandemic who are forced to travel across the USA together in search of hope.

With a stellar cast line-up including Pedro Pascal, Bella Ramsay, and Nick Offerman, plus a tragic yet action-filled plot, this zombie apocalypse series will keep you coming back for more.

The White Lotus

Watch The White Lotus on Now

Black comedy-drama The White Lotus follows the guests and employees of a resort. The visitors come to relax and let their hair down. However, they are all affected by their own dysfunctions.

Every day, the paradise is unraveled as darker situations begin to emerge. With an all-star cast including Jennifer Coolidge, Aubrey Plaza, and Sydney Sweeney, this is an unmissable drama.

Inside No 9

Watch Inside No 9 on Now

This anthology comedy brings new stories and characters every episode – with each dark comedy narrative taking place behind a door labelled as ‘number 9’.

You don’t have to watch these in order due to their nature; so we recommend ‘A Quiet Night in’ which features no dialogue whilst still managing to tell a hilarious story, and ‘Zanzibar’, which takes inspiration from Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors with its ensemble cast in the setting of a luxury hotel.

True Detective

Watch True Detective on Now

True Detective is an anthology series, so you’ll get to visit new locations and gripping stories as you progress throughout the show. In the latest season, we head to the chilling lands of Alaska, where two cops have to solve the mystery of eight missing men.

The show features actors such as Woody Harrelson, Colin Farrell, Mahershala Ali, and Jodie Foster.

Euphoria

Watch Euphoria on Now

Zendaya stars in Euphoria, a grim take on the high school experience, and the Generation Z answer to Skins. Filled with drugs, violence, and sex, the show is narrated by Rue, an addict who is struggling to find her place in the world.

Having clocked up numerous awards, this is one of the most popular things on Now – but it is certainly not an easy watch.

Blackadder The Third

Watch Blackadder The Third on Now

We love all the Blackadder series for various reasons, but Blackadder the Third has a particular place in our hearts. This iteration takes place during the Regency period, in which E. Blackadder Esquire (Rowan Atkinson) is the head butler to the selfish buffoon, The Prince of Wales (Hugh Laurie).

Short but sweet – with just six episodes – you’ll see famous historical figures like Samuel Johnson and events like the French Revolution. Though of course, not in the fashion that you may be expecting.

The Third Day

Watch The Third Day on Now

Starring Jude Law and Naomie Harris, The Third Day is another mind-bending thriller, seemingly influenced by the likes of The Wicker Man and Midsommar.

It tells the story of two different people who find themselves journeying to a mysterious British island at different points in time. Both the travelers begin to discover the strange rituals and secrets about the inhabitants of the island.

Gavin & Stacey

Watch Gavin & Stacey on Now

Oh, what’s occurring?! This legendary British sitcom (also returning for a Christmas special this year) is a must-see, following the coming together of one family from Essex and another from Wales when a young couple falls in love.
