Ah, who doesn’t love the promise of future TV/streaming?

Much like booklovers stockpile more books than they can read in a lifetime – mine will one day be large enough to use as building material for a house – those of who love TV/streaming shows adore the anticipation of shows yet to come.

What amazing stories will they tell? Which characters will we fall in love with and which will be loathe? And how much sleep are we prepared to give up to see them?

For that, as with so much else in our content-saturated age is the great issue here – there’s an embarrassment of riches already before us and yet more shows still beckon?

How on earth will we watch them all?

Honestly, who knows, but it’s safe to say that we will have a red hot go trying to take them all in, especially two as amazing as Insecure and House of the Dragon which promise vastly different viewing opportunities but hopefully great storytelling, entrancing characters and a chance, once again, to escape the everyday.
