October has just landed and the last of the cold nights are on their way out as the days heat up and summer slides ever closer.
Some of you may even be choosing to do ‘Sober October’, so what better way to avoid the temptation of nights out then by fuelling great nights in with fabulous new TV shows.
Here at Hisense, we’re excited for what October has to offer. With that in mind, here’s our top picks for TV shows and movies released this month.
Godfather of Harlem, Season 1 (Available on Stan)
Set in the 1960s and starring Academy Award winner Forest Whitaker, this epic crime drama tells the tale of one of New York’s most feared crime bosses, Bumpy Johnson. After serving a 10-year prison sentence, Bumpy is released and returns to the old neighbourhood that he once ruled and finds it controlled by the Italian mob. The action follows Bumpy’s mission to regain control from a fearsome Genovese crime family. In the process, Bumpy forms an alliance with the radical preacher Malcom X. The story also charts the rise of Malcom X and documents the social turmoil of the time and all the ensuing violence that threatens to tear the city apart.
RuPaul’s Drag Race UK (Available on Stan)
It was only a matter of time before a UK version of RuPaul’s smash hit TV show hit the screens. Everything is as you would expect and follows the winning formula of the US version of the show, but with a few British twists thrown in for good measure. All the usuals are guaranteed, from high heels to even higher hair, as 10 British drag queens battle it out to become the queen of the runway. To add to the hilarity, RuPaul is also joined by two of the UK’s best-loved funny men, Alan Carr and Graham Norton, who both feature as rotating judges.
