April 2020 Watchlist

Kim’s Convenience season 4 - Netflix - April 1st

This comedy about a Korean-Canadian family that runs a Convenience store is actually hilarious and I binged the first 3 seasons at the beginning of the year so I am looking forward to revisiting this sitcom. Also, Simu Liu who plays Chung is Marvel’s Shang-Chi so check out this show if you're looking forward to that movie!

Killing Eve Season 3 - BBC America & BBC iplayer - April 13th

Yes! We are actually getting Killing Eve Season 3 a lot sooner than expected, normally we (here in the UK) have to wait for aeons after the US to watch it but luckily we are getting each episode the day after the US showing on BBC iPlayer! I love this show so much, its hilariously dark and Villanelle is one of the best characters on TV at the moment. If you’ve never watched the show buckle up for an adventure.

Run - HBO & Now TV/ Sky Comedy - April 15th

Phoebe Waller-Bridge aka everyone’s favourite writer at the moment has a new TV show coming out. And it’s an intriguing premise about reconnecting with an old acquaintance due to a pact that was made 17 years earlier. It’s apparently a black comedy thriller which in itself is rather appealing.

 The King: Eternal Monarch - SBS & Netflix - April 17th

This new drama is from Kim Eun-sook the creator of Guardian: The Lonely and Great God (aka Goblin) and Mr Sunshine which are some of my all-time favourite Korean dramas. The cast is great with Lee Min-ho, Kim Go-eun, Woo Do-hwan and Jung Eun-chae to name a few. And it’s about parallel worlds!!! Count me in!

Normal People - BBC iPlayer - April 26th

As a fan of this book and just Sally Rooney in general I have been waiting for this adaptation ever since it was announced. I’m intrigued to see whether there will be any dramatic changes and just how faithful it will stay to the book. Rooney is very much a literary voice of my generation and I love how she captured the two main characters so rawly in the book… so let’s see if this drama does the same, although from the trailer I feel like it will which is a relief.
