Dietland

What is it? Co-starring The Good Wife's Julianna Margulies, and based on Sarai Walker's 2015 novel of the same name, this darkly comic drama follows Plum Kettle - a ghost-writer for the editor of one of New York's biggest fashion magazines. Expect a scathing, contemporary slant on the whole Devil Wears Prada equation; with themes revolving around misogyny, self-image, and the superficial media world.

Cloak and Dagger

What is it? Netflix has had Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and more. Now Amazon gets its very own Marvel series, revolving around two super-powered teenagers: Tandy and Tyrone. From very different backgrounds, but with a shared emotional past, they team-up in a story that looks to have all the obligatory danger and detective elements.

Preacher (Season 3)

Fire and brimstone. And action and weirdness. Dominic Cooper's Preacher is back (Photo: Amazon Prime)

What is it? Entertaining, bizarro-fantasy drama about a grizzled, superpowered preacher taking on the forces of darkness with his wild girlfriend and vampire pal. Following on from season two's chaotic New Orleans jaunt, Dominic Cooper's anti-hero gets fresh intrigue in the shape of that old chestnut: "a mysterious figure from his past". Hellish fun awaits.
