From the makers of 'Utopia' and 'Broadchurch', 'Humans' is an enthralling action packed thriller set in a parallel present where the latest must-have gadget for a busy family is a synth - a life-like humanoid. Worried he is losing his wife Laura (Katherine Parkinson), Joe (Tom Goodman Hill) believes the addition of a highly developed robotic servant to the household will give them back the time they so desperately need to re-connect as a couple and as a family. Their synth Anita (Gemma Chan) is an immediate hit with Joe and the kids, but Laura seems less susceptible to Anita's efficiently chilly charms. There's just something about her. Every now and again she does something... almost human. Others, though, long since abandoned any scepticism, and embraced their synths as part of the family. Retired synth engineer George (William Hurt) reminisces about the past with his rickety synth Odi (Will Tudor). To George he is more like a son than a piece of machinery, but their relationship is threatened when Odi malfunctions. Will George be forced to destroy the one thing he loves? Meanwhile, Leo (Colin Morgan) is a human on the run with his synth, Max and the two unlikely companions are desperately searching for someone. But who, and why? And why does this synth seem to be so unlike the others? - Director:

In this extraordinary story, which will bend the mind as well as the senses, Inspector Borlu (David Morrissey) of the Extreme Crime Squad investigates the murder of a student whose body is found on the rundown streets of Beszel. Cases like this are run of the mill for Borlu - until he discovers evidence that the victim had been visiting Beszel's prosperous neighbouring city, Ul Qoma. This shouldn't be possible as citizens of each city are forbidden from seeing or interacting with each other, and borders are policed by the terrifying Breach. As he attempts to solve the case, Borlu comes to realise he has a personal connection to the crimes and must embark on an odyssey of the mind to find the truth he has always been seeking. - Director:

This second-rate sensei is an embarrassment to the sport, and his Kendo club is running out of members. His only hope for redemption - and a full belly - is to get Tamaki to sign-on as his star pupil. Unfortunately, this sword-wielding prodigy is a serious anime addict, so it'll be a challenge to get her to step away from the television and into the dojo.

The year is 1806. England is beleaguered by the long war with Napoleon, and centuries have passed since practical magicians faded into the nation's past. But scholars of this glorious history discover that one remains: the reclusive Mr. Norrell, whose displays of magic send a thrill through the country. Proceeding to London, he raises a beautiful woman from the dead and summons an army of ghostly ships to terrify the French. Yet the cautious, fussy Norrell is challenged by the emergence of another magician: the brilliant novice Jonathan Strange. Young, handsome and daring, Strange is the very antithesis of Norrell. So begins a dangerous battle between the two great men. Their obsessions and secret dabblings with the dark arts will cause more trouble than they can imagine. - Director:
