Call My Agent!

• For fans of Irma Vep, Veep

IMDB IMDB

Ah, is there anything better than a look into the lives of celebrities, especially in a show that likes to mercilessly take the mick out of them? The fact that actual celebrities signed up to star in this French comedy about a talent agency shows how much trust they put in its makers. We follow the staff of this talent agency as they wrangle their clients, their own careers, and their relationships with each other. Egos abound.

Watch season one and two on the Seinnteoir TG4 (Player).

Hacks

• For fans of The Studio, Fleabag

This comedy series is about what happens when a veteran comedian, Deborah Vance (played by Jean Smart) has to team up with a whipsmart young writer Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbinder) to try and give her career a boost. These two are more frenemies than besties, and yet they can’t stop working together. This is a real treat of a show.

Murder She Wrote

• For fans of Columbo, Poker Face

IMDB IMDB

Look, we’re not going to question why everywhere crime author Jessica Fletcher goes, a murder is committed. Maybe it’s all just one big coincidence. But we do know that this iconic TV character has better skills than your average police officer when it comes to catching the suspects. Find out why this is such a classic by checking out episodes on the Seinnteoir TG4 (Player). 

Narcos Mexico

• For fans of El Chapo, Griselda

Michael Peña and Diego Luna star in this 2018 series about Mexico’s illegal drugs trade. It’s part of the Narcos stable, and fills us in on the beginnings of Mexico’s deadly drug war. Peña plays a DEA agent named Kiki Camarena, while Luna is Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo, the leader of the fearsome Guadalajara Cartel. One for those who like their shows intense, with a big cast and real-life storylines.

Better Call Saul

• For fans of Breaking Bad, Ozark

IMDB IMDB

It’s not often that a spin-off of an existing hugely popular show (in this case, Breaking Bad) ends up being as beloved as its predecessor. But Better Call Saul isn’t any ordinary show. It stars Bob Odenkirk as Jimmy McGill, an aspiring lawyer who happens to be a former con man – and decides to transform himself into the ethically suspect lawyer Saul Goodman. Odenkirk, who had a long history in comedy, proved himself a true star here.
