Tune in

I don’t know about you, but there’s something quite nice about having a whole new line-up of shows to get stuck into. Especially when there’s actually something good to watch. This week we are taking a look at some of the most interesting TV shows that will be out over the next few months.

Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson reunite on screen in the comedy “Brothers,” where they play fictionalised versions of themselves as they confront the possibility that they may actually be brothers. The real-life friends previously starred together in “True Detective,” and their natural chemistry makes this lighter reunion one to watch.

Stephen King’s classic horror story returns in a new series from Mike Flanagan, the creator of “The Haunting of Hill House.” “Carrie” stars Summer H. Howell as Carrie White, a troubled teenager dealing with the death of her father, the pressures of high school and the discovery that she has powerful telekinetic abilities.

While the study was carried out on mice, the findings raise some interesting questions about the role certain sugars and carbohydrates play in keeping our gut bacteria healthy.
