Slow Horses recently got picked up for a sixth season, and season five hasn’t even premiered. That means are four seasons of this British spy series for you to get acquainted with–and everything they says is true, the series is stellar. Academy Award winner Gary Oldman is absolutely in his bag portraying the uncouth but sharp Jackson Lamb, a master spook who’s in charge of a bunch of MI5 outcasts in Slough House. Those agents include Rosalind Eleazar as “Louisa Guy” and Kadiff Kirwan as “Marcus Longridge”  which makes for a diverse and talented cast to match the intricate storyline that manages to flawlessly mix in humor and high-intensity action.—Alvin aqua Blanco

Most sports documentaries –30 for 30 or other– are harrowing tales of family tragedy or overcoming injuries. HBO flipped that novelty on its head and went for more of a WTF Moment with the appropriately titled BS High. Bishop Sycamore High School was a non-existent school in Ohio. But somehow, the school played an ESPN televised game against IMG Academy and lost 56-0. That’s when it began to disentangle, thanks to some players having warrants and being over 18, a Madden playbook,  and head coach Leroy Johnson –who calls himself an honest liar– being pure entertainment through all the scamming.
