Umbrella Academy, Ramy and Little Birds

The superhero siblings are back for a second season of Umbrella
Academy and everyone agrees it’s an improvement on the first
series. Plus Claire’s been chatting to stars Tom Hopper and Robert
Sheehan about cult-leader costumes and how they’re not really
famous.

Ramy also returns for a second series following creator and lead
actor Ramy Youssef’s Golden Globe win. This time the show comes
with some star power in the form of Mahershala Ali, and Ramy
explains to Backstage how the Oscar-winner came to be in the
show.

Sky Atlantic’s new adaptation Little Birds is described as erotic,
and while it may not be that sexy, it’s definitely a great watch,
and Stevie reckons lead actress Juno Temple is one to watch at the
moment.

The Emmy nominations have been revealed – find out which Brits have
been nominated and why Netflix is celebrating.

Plus there’s a whole new Taylor Swift album to discuss – Katie
thinks it’s a bit too cable-knit but if it’s good enough for Bon
Iver, it’s good enough for Claire.
