Shows to watch this week
Futurama is at episode 3 of season 11 (TMDB rating 8.4/10), with Fry and Bender hunted by space pirates who've stolen precious cargo entrusted to them. If you're already following the series, you'll find that blend of sci-fi, comedy and adventure that makes it work. Reacher kicks off season 4 with a new episode marking the show's return on Amazon Prime Video. The show follows a former Military Police officer arrested for a murder he didn't commit, uncovering a bloody conspiracy involving corrupt cops, shady businessmen and crooked politicians.
If you're after something more intimate, Trying is at episode 6 of season 5 (TMDB rating 7.6/10), where Jason and Nikki's date night derails under suspicion as Princess' night spirals out of control.

Finally, The Walking Dead: Dead City is at episode 4 of season 3 (TMDB rating 7.9/10). The series follows Maggie and Negan as they venture into a post-apocalyptic Manhattan cut off from the mainland for years, a ruined city populated by the dead and inhabitants who have turned New York into an anarchic world filled with terror.
