As we bid winter farewell, we get ready for a summer filled with new and returning TV shows that will keep us glued to the screen! With a thrilling variety of stories and genres across different platforms, from Netflix to Amazon Prime Video, there’s something for everyone, whether you’re into period dramas, sci-fi adventures, or intense crime stories.
Of course, to enjoy the visual sophistication of “3 Body Problem”, the special effects used in “The Umbrella Academy”, or the mind-blowing dragons of “House of the Dragons” to their fullest, you need a television that can handle the challenge like a champion. So, in this blog, alongside some fan-favourite shows, we’ll recommend the best cheap TVs on which you can watch them. Brace yourself and beware of spoilers!
From Novels to Screen: The Complexity of “3 Body Problem”
Released in early spring 2024, “3 Body Problem” is one of the most acclaimed series of the season on Netflix. Based on the praised science fiction trilogy of novels by Chinese writer Liu Cixin and brought to the screen by Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, the show is as fascinating as complex. Just like the books, it delivers an exceptional blend of physics and fiction where human drama emerges more powerful than ever. What happens when an alien civilisation asks a few brilliant scientists to play a mysterious game aimed at helping them survive whilst they prepare to invade our planet? This intriguing narrative unfolds into a captivating story characterised by a high-profile production and brilliant writing. What sets “3 Body Problem” apart is its thought-provoking exploration of humanity’s inner nature and place in the universe. With its intricate plot and marvellous scenes, this show is certainly a must-watch for anyone who loves a refreshing twist to traditional sci-fi stories.
To fully appreciate the series’ exceptional visual effects and details that bring its narrative to life, there’s nothing better than the incredible resolution and clarity offered by our cheap 8K TVs; they will enhance the immersive experience and make every scene breathtakingly vivid and engaging.
Superpowers Galore: From “The Umbrella Academy” to “The Boys”
Ready for some superpower-packed on-screen action? It’ll be the last call for the popular Netflix show “The Umbrella Academy”, which started in 2019 and will conclude with its fifth and last season this summer. We’ll reunite with the most dysfunctional superhero family in a season that promises to explore new timelines and dimensions, with the Hargreeves siblings facing their most formidable challenges yet. Thanks to its unique mix of humour, heart, special powers, and an incredibly catchy soundtrack, “The Umbrella Academy” is expected to end with a real boom.
Meanwhile, on Amazon Prime Video, we’ll see the return of one of the most popular shows on the platform, “The Boys”, with its dark, satirical, and very much not politically correct take on the superhero genre. We left an undefeated Homelander backed by the public consensus and “the boys”, led by Billy Butcher, up for finding new ways to take him down. The new season will push the boundaries even further, with more shocking moments crowned by bloody scenes and deeper dives into the immoral world of “supes”. As the tension is set to reach new heights, we can’t expect anything but a thrilling rollercoaster of emotions and explosive action!
These two adrenaline-filled shows deserve a fantastic 60-inch TV if you want to enjoy every small detail; the larger screen size will take the dynamic superhero battles and dramatic moments right in your living room!
“Sugar”, The New, Captivating Crime Mystery
If you’re a crime and mystery lover, you have plenty to look forward to with the release of “Sugar” on Apple TV+, a niche platform renowned for its quality shows. This new series, starring Colin Farrell, will deliver a gripping narrative filled with lots of twists and unpredictable turns. Set in Los Angeles, “Sugar” follows the story of a private investigator untangling a web of corruption, crime, and betrayal. The show’s noir aesthetic, combined with Farrell’s compelling performance, makes it a standout in the crime genre.
What makes “Sugar” particularly intriguing is its convincing mix of classic detective tropes with modern storytelling. The story delves into its characters’ moral grey areas, offering a different perspective on the traditional portrayal of good and evil.
Watching “Sugar” on one of our cheap 4K TVs will allow you to appreciate the show’s atmospheric setting with incredible clarity and detail. The high resolution will bring out the nuances of the Los Angeles backdrop and enhance the visual storytelling, making the complex crime narrative even more fascinating.
Returning Fan Favourites: “Bridgerton” and “House of the Dragon”
Two years is a long time for a show to return, but we’re sure the loyal fans among you have willingly waited for these two series patiently. Netflix’s Bridgerton continues to enchant its viewers with its fusion of romance, scandal, and alternative Regency-era charm. The new season, released in two parts, the first in May and the second in June, delivers the long-awaited romance between Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington alongside the usual sumptuous visuals, cello renditions of famous hits, and breathtaking costumes. How will things unfold? We shall see!
Instead, HBO’s “House of the Dragon” will bring us back to Westeros with its rich lore and epic storytelling. This second season will narrow its focus on the chain of events that led up to the infamous Targaryen civil war, seeing the beginning of the Dance of the Dragons. So, let’s get ready for political intrigue and spectacular dragon battles! Are you Team Black or Team Green?
Watching these two different but equally entertaining shows on a QLED TV will let you experience the rich, vibrant colours and deep contrasts that characterise them. The improved colour accuracy and brightness of a QLED display will showcase the detailed costumes, lavish sets, and spectacular visuals of both series, making every scene in Westeros and Regency-era London more immersive and stunning than ever.
