Struggling to find a new show or don’t know what’s coming to the small screen? Have no fear, this week’s jam-packed TV guide is here.
Just when you didn’t think TV could get any better, the television gods seem to have aligned for the first week of March. That’s right, people – this week is a stellar period for some truly excellent TV.
Whether you’re looking for a brand new music-drama, a searing true crime documentary or an anticipated extra instalment of a fan-favourite show, it seems like this week has it all.
We know clasping that remote control, working your way through the channels and flicking through TV guides is stressful (and, dare we say, boring) but we’ve done the hard graft for you. Scroll on for our hand-picked selection of the very best shows to watch and stream this week and thank us later.
Killing Eve, released Monday 28 February

The fourth and final season is upon us, everyone. Killing Eve is back and we’re sure that the classic cat-and-mouse game between Eve (Sandra Oh) and Villanelle (Jodie Comer) will only level up in the final episodes.
If its tense previous series is anything to go by, we’re in for big helpings of drama, a fair share of violence and a season where, really, anything could happen.
Killing Eve season four is available to stream on BBC iPlayer now.
Mood, released Tuesday 1 March

A music drama isn’t something you come across every day, but it’s an innovative concept we can’t wait to see more of. Leading the charge of music-based series is Mood, BBC Three’s latest offering.
Starting off as a one-woman play – named Superhoe at the Royal Court Theatre – creator Nicôle Lecky is now bringing her genius to the small screen with Mood. She’s even providing an original soundtrack for the show, too.
We see Sasha (played by Lecky) navigate a fledging career, failing relationship and the new (but dark) world of being a social media influencer. It’ll have you bopping along, laughing, but also reflecting on some very real-life issues.
Mood premieres on BBC Three on Tuesday 1 March at 10:05pm, with all episodes available to watch on BBC iPlayer afterwards.
The Dropout, released Thursday 3 March

Scam-related shows only seem to be on the rise at the moment and we may as well add another one to your radar.
Based on the ABC News podcast of the same name, The Dropout was first announced as a TV series back in 2019 and will see award-winning Hollywood star Amanda Seyfried star as Elizabeth Holmes.
The Silicon Valley entrepreneur was once dubbed to be “the next Steve Jobs” but Holmes’ revolutionary health technology company was infamously exposed as a scam.
The Dropout will be available to stream on Disney+ on 3 March.
Dear… season 2, released Friday 4 March
If you caught the first season of this emotional documentary, you’ll know that you should have the tissues ready for its second instalment.
Coming to Apple TV+ this Friday, Dear… presents letters written by those whose lives have been changed by the work of iconic trailblazers.
Each episode profiles acclaimed leaders and the letters written to them by people who were directly inspired by their actions. Whether it’s to run for office or push past racial or gender boundaries, their impact is clear to see with the help of these honest letters.
This time round, we’re treated to appearances from Sandra Oh, Ava DuVernay, Billy Porter and Malala Yousafzai, among many others.
Dear… will be available to stream on Apple TV+ on 4 March.
Pieces Of Her, released Friday 4 March

Toni Collette is returning to our screens with another raw and captivating performance. Collette stars as Laura, a secret-wielding mother who is at the centre of some very dark events in this new Netflix series.
Based on Karin Slaughter’s New York Times-bestselling novel of the same name, Pieces Of Her is set in a sleepy Georgia town, and the series follows a mother and daughter whose relationship is suddenly thrown into doubt by a violent incident.
It’s set to be as gripping as it will be emotional – and we cannot wait.
Pieces Of Her will be available to stream on Netflix on 4 March.
Worst Roommate Ever, released Tuesday 1 March
We’ve all had our fair share of horrifying housemate stories. The things that spring to mind are dirty dishes, unpaid bills and just generally being difficult. But this new five-part documentary may suddenly put everything into perspective.
Four harrowing tales of seemingly harmless roommates turn into real-life nightmares for their unsuspecting victims when their malevolent and sometimes violent intentions are revealed.
As the synopsis states: “These unsettling true stories chronicle the masked menace that can be lurking right down the hall.”
Worst Roommate Ever will be available to stream on Netflix on 1 March.
Euphoria finale, released Monday 28 February
It feels like we’ve waited an age for the second season of Euphoria and, just like that, it’s over. The anticipated final episode airs tonight on Sky Atlantic (and is available to stream on NOW TV now) but with the drama reaching a head tonight, we just don’t know what could be in store.
We’re still on a high from seeing Lexi’s searing (but hilarious) play last week, but something tells us Cassie’s on the brink of the ultimate betrayal and Fezco could be in some serious trouble.
The final episode of Euphoria will be airing on Sky Atlantic tonight and is available on streaming service NOW. Stream Euphoria with a NOW Entertainment Membership.
The Ipcress File, released Sunday 6 March

Peaky Blinders fans may have been deep in their final season binge-watch over the weekend but a familiar face is set to hit our screens this week in a whole new series.
Joe Cole plays Harry Palmer, a British sergeant with a criminal past who is given the chance to become a spy instead of facing prison time.
The Ipcress File is ITV’s exciting new spy thriller, and it’s been over a year in the making. It’s set to be tense and full of “abducted scientists, brainwashing, inter-departmental rivalry, treason and a possibly unwise romance.” We can’t wait to tune in this Sunday.
The Ipcress File premieres this Sunday 6 March at 9pm on ITV and ITV Hub.
Somebody Somewhere, released Tuesday 1 March
We love a poignant comedy. We may laugh, we may cry, we may do both – but we’ll definitely enjoy it.
This new Sky series is inspired by the life of comedian and singer Bridget Everett. The seven-part series follows 40-something Sam (played by Everett), who is dealing with the loss of her sister.
In a bid to cope, Sam’s singing becomes her saving grace and forces her to discover not only herself, but also a community of people that may not fit in but certainly never give up.
Somebody Somewhere premieres on Sky Comedy and NOW TV on 1 March.
Death On The Beach, released Thursday 3 March
Credit: Sky
True crime heads, this one’s for you. Sky Crime is bringing us this shocking new documentary all about the countless young backpackers who have died under ‘mysterious circumstances’ on the popular, remote Thai island, Koh Tao.
We’ll uncover the story of Chrissie Annesley, who travelled to the island in 2015 on the trip of a lifetime but was found dead in her beach hut two weeks later.
Death On The Beach premieres on Sky Crime and NOW TV on 3 March.
