Lovers
9 p.m. Sky Atlantic
Sometimes the familiar comfort of a low-stakes rom-com is all you want – and The Lovers delivers just that.

They’re worlds apart but – as you might have guessed – that just might make them a perfect pair, even if Seamus has a famous girlfriend… Although this six-parter isn’t quite as enchanting as Starstruck, its the BBC, all the right ingredients are there. here for a modern and dynamic love story.

couple therapy

Someone telling their partner “I can’t commit to freeing you from suffering” is a sign that the finale of an extraordinary reality show is still so busy. But it’s also cathartic, a reward for viewers for making it this far. This includes one of the healthiest breakups you’ve ever seen. Jack Seale
