The Shows Must Go On - The Best Series To Watch This Month: Mr. Scorsese, Down Cemetery Road and more

DOWN CEMETERY ROAD (October 29, Apple TV+)

Knowing that they’re on to a very good thing, Apple TV+ premiere their adaptation of a standalone Mick Herron novel mere hours after series five of his epic Slow Horses saga draws to its Roddy Ho-tastic conclusion. Based this time in Bristol, a woman hires a private investigator to discover whether an explosion and the disappearance of a young girl are linked. Unsurprisingly, the answer is “Yes!” With Ruth Wilson, Emma Thompson and Adeel Akhtar among the stars, the omens are all good.

AMSTERDAM EMPIRE (October 30, Netflix)

When Jack’s extramarital affair comes to light, his wife hatches a bitter plan to deprive him of the thing he loves most. No, not his mistress but his empire of coffeeshops. Starring Famke Janssen of X-Men and GoldenEye fame, the seven-parter is equal parts glamour and grime as the ‘dam’s cutthroat cannabis industry is explored.

MR. SCORSESE (Apple TV+, October 17)

After nearly 60 years of filmmaking, the tables – or should that be cameras? – are turned on the legendary director as he gets the five-part documentary treatment. With Robert De Niro, Steven Spielberg, Margot Robbie, Sharon Stone, Cate Blanchett, Daniel Day-Lewis, Robbie Robertson, Leonardo Di Caprio and Mick Jagger among the A-List talking heads and his private archives delved into for the first time, it’s a must-watch for all cinephiles.

THE HUNTING PARTY (October 22, U&Alibi)

Former star FBI profiler Bex Henderson is lured back to the bureau when some of the US’ worst serial killers escape from a secret subterranean prison in Wyoming. Similar in tone to The Silence Of The Lambs, each episode focuses on a particular psycho like Dr. Ezekiel Malak, a former psychiatrist whose rationale for killing is that he wants to study the surge in people’s brain activity before they die.
