Stranger Things 3, currently streaming on Netflix
Stranger Things: A love letter to the ’80s classics that captivated a generation. The first series of Stranger Things is set in 1983 Indiana, where a young boy vanishes into thin air. As friends, family and local police search for answers, they are drawn into an extraordinary mystery involving top-secret government experiments, terrifying supernatural forces and one very strange little girl.
Stranger Things 2 takes us into 1984 and the citizens of Hawkins, Indiana are still reeling from the horrors of the Demogorgon and the secrets of Hawkins Lab. Will Byers has been rescued from the Upside Down but a bigger, sinister entity still threatens those who survived.
This week Netflix launched the third instalment with Stranger Things 3. It’s 1985 in Hawkins, Indiana, and summer’s heating up. School’s out, there’s a brand new mall in town, and the Hawkins crew are on the cusp of adulthood. Romance blossoms and complicates the group’s dynamic, and they’ll have to figure out how to grow up without growing apart.
Meanwhile, danger looms. When the town’s threatened by enemies old and new, Eleven and her friends are reminded that evil never ends; it evolves. Now they’ll have to band together to survive, and remember that friendship is always stronger than fear.
Shipmates, Channel 4 at 11.05pm
In this brand-new series, two wild groups of friends board one of the most luxurious cruise ships in the world for a glamorous competition.
For five days they join 1500 party animals stopping off at the Med’s biggest party destinations of Cannes, Ibiza, Palma and Barcelona. The aim is to convince the other party-goers to vote for them in a week-long popularity contest. At the end, the group that gets the most votes will win a luxury holiday to beautiful Bali.
But it’s not all plain sailing. On board are secret stowaways the players thought they’d left at home. Each day the rivals can choose a stowaway to send into the opposition to cause maximum disruption. As the ship makes its way round the Med, the teams go head-to-head in physical and mental challenges with the chance to win fantastic upgrades at each destination.
In this first episode a holiday hook-up causes an awkward situation, and a work colleague in need of babysitting dampens the party spirit. As the ship sails towards the French Riviera, the teams and their stowaways gather for the first deck game, competing to win a fantastic upgrade experience when they hit Cannes. One team celebrates victory with a chopper ride around the bay while the other slums it in the park.
As one team edges ahead, cracks in friendship groups begin to show, and when team tactics turn to flirting, one ex-flame is left all at sea.
