[ Save To My Favourites ](/user/login?destination=/markdownify/node/52307) Image: Amandaland ## WEDNESDAY #### Amandaland (Series 2), BBC Amanda’s back – still in SoHa, still juggling teens and still clinging to the idea her postcode is on the up (helped along by the arrival of a very on-brand coffee shop). Her Senuous side-hustle continues, as does her slightly chaotic work set-up, but it’s a bigger house that really has her attention this series. Cue complications: getting her mother Felicity involved financially isn’t quite the win she hoped for, while downstairs neighbour Mal remains firmly in the mix – as does his no-nonsense ex. Add in exam stress, shifting friendships and the looming school prom, and life is as mental as ever. *Visit* [BBC.CO.UK](https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/m0024pyy/amandaland) [ ![Amandaland](https://media.sheerluxe.com/jzNM4cbPYjzqe9B3lA8ikytpRpY=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F04%2Fsl-050526-what-to-watch-amandaland-season-2-2.jpg) ](https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/m0024pyy/amandaland) Amandaland #### Citadel, Prime Video The glossy spy saga is back for a second season after a long hiatus – and it’s as big, bold and knowingly over-the-top as ever. At the centre is Citadel, a covert agency whose operatives have had their memories wiped, leaving them unaware of their past lives… until duty calls again. Cue another globe-trotting mission, a looming global threat and plenty of high-drama twists. It doesn’t always make perfect sense – but that’s part of the appeal. Led by Richard Madden, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Stanley Tucci, this is slick, escapist TV that leans all the way into the spectacle. *Visit* [AMAZON.CO.UK](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Citadel-Season-1/dp/B0B8TQ6SCR) ## THURSDAY #### Legends This new six-part drama from Neil Forsyth (*The Gold*, *Guilt*) dives into one of the UK’s most extraordinary real-life investigations. Set in the early 90s, it follows a covert operation led by Customs and Excise, as authorities struggle to keep pace with increasingly sophisticated drug smuggling networks. Their solution? Instead of seasoned operatives, a handful of ordinary officers are selected, given minimal training and entirely new identities – their “legends” – before being sent deep undercover. With no real experience of espionage, they’re forced to learn fast, navigating high-risk situations where one wrong move could expose everything. As the lines between their real lives and assumed identities begin to blur, the pressure mounts – not just to gather intelligence, but to stay believable inside some of the country’s most dangerous criminal circles. Led by Tom Burke and Steve Coogan, alongside Hayley Squires and Tom Hughes, this is a slower-burn, character-led take on the crime genre – tense, immersive and rooted in a story that feels almost too unlikely to be true. *Visit* [NETFLIX.COM](https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/81708404) [ ![Legends](https://media.sheerluxe.com/oQbt-ICCU209X8Q0P3yYxX1wcjM=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F04%2Fsl-050526-what-to-watch-legends-netflix-2.jpg) ](https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/81708404) Legends #### M.I.A., Paramount+ From Bill Dubuque (*Ozark*), this new crime thriller heads straight to Miami’s darker side. Shannon Gisela plays Etta Tiger Jonze, the sole survivor of a brutal family massacre tied to a drug war. What follows is a revenge story with zero interest in playing it safe. Determined to take down those responsible, Etta goes up against an entire crime syndicate – and the series fully embraces the chaos that comes with it. Think stylised violence, high heat and a plot that prioritises momentum over realism. *Visit* [PARAMOUNTPLUS.COM](https://www.paramountplus.com/gb/) ## FRIDAY #### Remarkably Bright Creatures Based on the bestselling novel, *Remarkably Bright Creatures* follows Tova (Sally Field), a widow working at a local aquarium who forms an unexpected bond with a giant octopus – and, soon after, a young man searching for answers about his past. As their stories intertwine, a gentle mystery unfolds. Led by Field, alongside Lewis Pullman and Alfred Molina, it’s warm, uplifting and lands just on the right side of sentimental. *Visit* [NETFLIX.COM](https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/81911351) [ ![Remarkably Bright Creatures](https://media.sheerluxe.com/mUuqRBlIiTnu54oWdfyo0Nua2fE=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F04%2Fsl-050526-what-to-watch-remarkably-bright-creatures.jpg) ](https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/81911351) Remarkably Bright Creatures #### Ammo, Channel 4 This slick Norwegian import embraces the kind of corporate paranoia that feels especially timely right now. Set inside the polished, glass-walled HQ of defence company AGR, the story follows executive Bjørn Urdal as he’s pulled into a major new deal supplying drone tech to the French military. On paper, it’s a career-defining opportunity. In reality, it’s far murkier. As Bjørn digs deeper, it becomes clear the agreement hinges on ignoring some highly questionable – and potentially illegal – uses of AI. What follows is a slow-burn moral unravelling, as he’s forced to weigh up ambition against accountability. *Visit* [CHANNEL4.COM](https://www.channel4.com/programmes/ammo) [Skip to the rest of this article](#sidebar-bottom) ##
