Hacks

Hacks explores a dark mentorship that forms between Deborah Vance (Jean Smart), a legendary Las Vegas comedian, and an entitled, outcast 25-year-old (Hannah Einbinder).

To salvage her waning career, Deborah is forced to team up with Ava, a Gen Z comedy writer who is unable to find work due to being "canceled" over an insensitive tweet.

The two reluctantly team up to freshen up Vance's material and learn to respect each other's differences.
 

Intelligence 2

Genre: Comedy

Intelligence 2

A workplace comedy set in the UK's GCHQ — a kind of weedier, geekier version of MI5, where they tackle international and domestic cyber crime from a desktop.

But when a pompous, maverick NSA agent comes over from the US to join the team, he enlists an inept and tactless computer analyst in a power grab that threatens to disrupt the team's ability to combat cyber terrorism.

At the end of the first season we saw NSA agent Jerry Bernstein (David Schwimmer) narrowly avoid being extradited back to the States to face charges of treason.

Indebted to his boss Christine for stepping in to protect him at the last minute - albeit with ulterior motives - we start Season 2 with Jerry on the back foot.

However, when it's revealed that the Russians have got their hands on a cyberweapon that Jerry was instrumental in developing, his intel suddenly becomes vital to national, if not international, security.

Facing some demons from his past along the way, by the end of Episode 1 he is firmly back in his alpha male comfort zone and heralded a hero.

Meanwhile, Joseph has romance on the cards since sparking up an online friendship with Charlotte from the GCHQ offices in Bude.

Romance blossoms and not even Jerry's meddling nor Christine's ban on cross-departmental relationships can get in the way.

As the season progresses, however, it soon becomes clear that while the initial cyber attack has been thwarted, the Russians are able to mutate the cyberweapon and Jerry's personal security comes under serious threat...

Unforgettable 2

Unforgettable stars Poppy Montgomery as Carrie Wells, an enigmatic former police detective with a rare condition that makes her memory so flawless that every place, every conversation, every moment of joy and every heartbreak is forever embedded in her mind.

It's not just that she doesn't forget anything - she can't; except for one thing: the details that would help solve her sister's long-ago murder.

Carrie has tried to put her past behind her, but she's unexpectedly reunited with her ex-boyfriend and partner, NYPD Detective Al Burns (Dylan Walsh), when she consults on a homicide case.

After consulting on a case, Carrie decided that she belonged back on the job and joined Al in the Queens PD.

Carrie's memory helped her and Al close a staggering number of murder cases, which catches the eye of Eliot Delson, head of the Major Crimes Section of the NYPD.

Carrie and Al agree to leave Queens to join Eliot's team in Manhattan, though Carrie forces him to bring on Joanne Webster, a brilliant medical examiner well-known to Eliot for her acerbic personality.

Armed with her unique ability and backed up by the people she trusts the most, Carrie now helps protect the citizens of New York, with each case more memorable than the last.

In the Season 2 premiere, "Bigtime": Carrie and Al's reputation for closing cases results in an offer to join the Major Crimes Section of the NYPD.

But when their first case - a high-profile child kidnapping - hits close to home for Carrie, it leaves her wondering if a move from Queens to Manhattan is what's best for her.

In the second episode of the weekly double bill, "Incognito": Carrie goes undercover with a team of bank robbers when The Major Crimes Section gets a lead on the gang's leader, a notorious thief who rarely shows his face.

Heroes alum Sendhil Ramamurthy guest stars as one of the bank robbers.

Married at First Sight 12

Married at First Sight heads down south to Atlanta for Season 12.

This season is set to be the most romantic, diverse and surprising season yet as 10 brave-but-loveless singles meet their new spouse at the altar and enter a legally binding marriage at first sight.

With one groom pushing 40 and another who has been divorced (both MAFS firsts), new insights are brought to a journey that is always full of high-stakes.

While some marriages will survive, one couple confronts a bombshell that no one saw coming.

As the season continues, each week will feature two-hour episodes and capture each couple's emotional journey as they go from wedding to honeymoon, early nesting and eventually dealing with the daily struggles of working on their marriage.

After several weeks together, each couple must make a decision: do they remain together for a happily ever after, or decide to divorce and go their separate ways?

Briana & Vincent

Briana (28) is done with dating and ready to find her soulmate.

With a man hand-picked specifically for her, she wants to start the next chapter of her life, share experiences, and build an empire.

She loves that the MAFS experts match candidates with a partner who is not only compatible but also someone who shares the same core values.

Briana is devoted to the experiment and is ready to give it her all.

Vincent (27) was ready for marriage in a past relationship, but his partner was not.

Despite his heartbreak, he hasn't let go of the dream of happily ever after.

Vincent doesn't hold back when it comes to his feelings and he'd love the help of the MAFS experts to help match him with his dream girl.

He embraces his Dominican culture, loves music, and is ready to find his salsa partner for life.

Clara & Ryan

Clara's (27) last relationship didn't go as planned and she was left reimagining a new future.

She wants to start the next chapter of her life and has no interest in dating around.

Clara wants to get Married At First Sight because she believes in fate and that everything happens for a reason.

She is all in and ready to give the process everything she's got.

Ryan (29) is ready for marriage and is absolutely husband material.

His parents have been married for over three decades, and Ryan feels that his father laid out the blueprint for what a supportive husband and dad should be.

Ryan is hopeful the experts can find him a wife he can build a family with, and finally make his parent's dreams of being grandparents come true.

Haley & Jacob

Haley (28) is a homeowner, has a dog she loves, and is supported by a huge network of close friends.

She is more than ready for the experts' help to find a loyal and trustworthy partner.

Haley admittedly has trust issues and would benefit from the help provided in the Married At First Sight process.

She thinks that having professional guidance in those early crucial weeks of marriage will enable her to break down her walls in order to find happiness and longevity in her marriage.

Jacob (38) is tired of dating. He wants children and knows that he's not getting any younger.

Jacob already believes that arranged marriages are typically more successful than traditional ones.

Therefore, the opportunity to get Married At First Sight is a win-win in his eyes.

He is looking for a deep and meaningful connection and loves the idea of working with experts who have the same goal in mind.

Hopefully, they can help him find the happy ending he's been searching for.

Paige & Chris

Paige (25) is determined to break the generational curse in her family and be the first to have a successful marriage.

When she was only 22 years old, she purchased her own house.

She's stable in her career and is ready to start the next chapter in her life and be a wife.

She wants to be Married At First Sight because she truly believes in the process and trusts in the experts to find her the right man.

Chris (27) has dreamed about getting married from a young age.

Raised by Pastors, his faith runs deep, and he firmly believes in the power of prayer.

He knows God will bring him his wife and he's confident Married At First Sight is a sign of answered prayers.

Alongside his wife, he wants to be co-CEOs, leaving behind a legacy for the many children he hopes to have.

Virginia & Erik

Virginia (26) hasn't had the best relationships in the past, but she's much stronger as a person and has learned from each failed partnership.

She's at a point in her life where she can confidently say she is prepared for marriage.

Admitting that she has a history of self-sabotaging relationships, Virginia is ready to overcome her fears and commit to love.

Erik (34) has been ready for marriage for a long time now and because he's been married before he doesn't want to waste any time finding his perfection match.

Erik has accomplished everything in his life and is ready to start the next chapter with a family.
