This week's top shows are a diverse mix of nostalgic delights and gripping new dramas. For those in the mood for something classic, Stranger Things returns to Netflix on Thursday with its final season. The show masterfully weaves together elements of period nostalgia, friendships, and genuine horror, culminating in a thrilling showdown between the kids and Vecna.
In contrast, fans of The Beatles will be thrilled by the release of The Beatles Anthology on Disney+ from Wednesday. Director Peter Jackson's painstaking restoration job brings back the band's story to life through colourisation tweaks, re-edits, and audio remixes. This time around, Jackson has added a new episode that includes an interview with Paul, George, and Ringo discussing their experiences.
For those looking for something more serious, Netflix offers Missing: Dead or Alive? from Monday. The documentary series delves into two fascinating cases of missing persons in Columbia, South Carolina, exploring the complexities of each case and how they relate to wider social issues.
On Disney+, Chris Hemsworth's road trip to remember will take you on a journey with the actor and his father Craig as they reconnect while navigating Alzheimer's. The documentary, released from Monday, showcases universal themes that will resonate with viewers.
Meanwhile, Is It Cake? returns for its seasonal special on Netflix from Tuesday. Hosted by Mikey Day, this delightful show is as entertaining as ever, featuring dramatic baking showdowns and judges including Kristen Bell.
On Apple TV, Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age explores the history of Earth during the ice age through stunning CGI visuals. Narrated by Tom Hiddleston, this visually stunning series allows you to walk among ancient wildlife like woolly mammoths and sea cows.
Lastly, Marbella from Channel 4 will transport viewers to the sun-kissed Mediterranean world of crime and corruption on Friday. Based on journalist Nacho Carretero's reportage, this show is as gripping as it is stylish.
Each of these shows offers something unique, so whether you're in the mood for nostalgia, drama, or just plain fun, there's something here to suit your taste.

... I mean, how do they keep it all together? The nostalgic vibes are always on point, but this time around it felt like they really upped the ante with Vecna 
. On a separate note, I've been meaning to check out that new Beatles documentary 
... Jackson's attention to detail is insane. And can we talk about how emotional Marbella sounds? The trailer had me hooked from the start 
. Is It Cake? is still my go-to for some light-hearted fun 
, but Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age? has been calling my name 
. Anyone else watching anything exciting this week?
also can't wait for The Beatles Anthology on Disney+ been a huge fan of their music since forever, peter jackson's restoration job is genius 
anyone else get tired of nostalgic content flooding every platform? i mean i love a good 80s throwback as much as the next person but can't we have something new for once 
- i mean, its iconic and all but is it really that groundbreaking? hasnt seen it before 10 times already 
and as for the beatles anthology, colorization just makes me wanna scratch my head 
what's up with this new episode tho? is paul, george, and ringo actually having a convo or just reading from some scripted notes 
. Give me something exciting like a reality TV show or a new sci-fi series any day! Is It Cake? is where it's at - that guy Mikey Day is hilarious 
. And Marbella just seems like another generic crime drama...
Netflix really knows how to bring back the 80s vibes with Stranger Things - I've already binge-watched season 1 and I'm super hyped for this final season! 
Disney+ is also giving me major Beatles nostalgia, but I wish they included more archival footage instead of just colourisation tweaks. 
On a different note, Missing: Dead or Alive? is looking pretty intense - I'll def be checking it out for my true crime fix! 
and we were both sobbing at some point lol paul george & ringo are literally so charming together & peter jackson did an amazing job restoring the footage it's like we're seeing them for the first time all over again
mikey day is literally my spirit animal & kristen bell as the judge is everything
I'm kinda surprised they're bringing back Stranger Things finally, like what took them so long? Anyway, I've heard good things about The Beatles Anthology, can't wait to see Peter Jackson's work on it 
. And Missing: Dead or Alive? sounds really interesting, hope it sheds some light on those missing persons cases 
. Is It Cake? always cracks me up, Kristen Bell as a judge is the perfect fit 
And Missing: Dead or Alive? sounds super intense and emotional 
. I need to watch it ASAP 
. Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age looks stunning too 
.
. But overall, it's great to see so many amazing shows on TV right now 
. What are you guys watching this week?
