I am a serial TV watcher - these are my top 3 series of the month

It has been an exciting month for TV. A new season of crime drama Slow Horses dropped on Apple TV, the very bingeable The Girlfriend arrived on Amazon Prime, and a new instalment of Married at First Sight has been broadcasting on Channel 4. With the weather taking a turn and the nights closing in earlier and earlier, there has been ample time to enjoy a new series, and I have managed to excel myself. Though there have been three series that I haven't been able to stop thinking about. Two of which are big hitters in the war genre, and the other is a brand-new period drama created by Steven Knight that everyone has been talking about. Here are my top three series of the month.

House of Guinness

Wow - this series was cinematic. it truly felt like TV at its best, I really loved it. Steven Knight has done it again, this time delving into the story behind the internationally loved beer. In a twist of Peaky Blinders meets Succession fate, the series focuses on four siblings in the wake of their fathers - and the patriarch of the family businesses' - passing, as they scramble with uncertainties to be revealed in his will, including the appointment of power, inheritance and demand.

The series synopsis reads: "In 1868, the Guinness family patriarch is dead in Dublin; his four children, each with dark secrets to hide, hold the brewery's fate in their hands."

SAS Rogue Heroes

As a fan of Knight's work, this one has been on my list for some time. Despite not being fully convinced until I had watched the first couple episodes, I am really enjoying this series. It's a part of war history that I never really learned too much about and it has brought up lots of questions and curiosities for me while watching. The main characters played by Jack O'Connell and Connor Swindells are so excellent I can't even describe.

The series synopsis reads: "During World War II, eccentric young officer David Stirling is hospitalised in Cairo after a training exercise accident. Bored, he starts thinking that the accepted war methods are wrong and hits on a radical plan. He fights for permission to recruit the toughest, boldest and brightest soldiers for a small undercover unit that will create mayhem behind enemy lines. More rebels than soldiers, Stirling's team are every bit as complicated, flawed and reckless as they are astonishingly brave and heroic."

Our Girl

On the theme of war... and I know I'm late to the party with this one - Our Girl was a series I remembered coming out back in 2014 but wasn't really interested in at the age of 16. Now, coming back to it, I understand what all the fuss was about. It is a deeply interesting insight into the British Armed Forces that allows for depth while also following a gripping romantic narative. Both Lacey Turner and Michelle Keegan were excellent as the lead characters. I have only watched the first couple series, along with the debut film that sparked the whole series, but I have to say this is the series that has had me in a chokehold the most of all. The series follows: "Molly, who decides to take charge of her life and join the army. Her decision is met with resistance from her family and her father threatens to disown her if she goes ahead with her plan."
