TV tonight: flawless prison drama is the first must-watch show of the year

This weekend's TV highlights are all about drama and intrigue, with a killer prison show being touted as the first must-watch programme of the year.

Waiting for the Out, starring Josh Finan as philosophy teacher turned prisoner Dan, has passed its halfway point and things are getting complicated. With his father's unresolved past catching up to him, Dan is forced to confront his demons in this tense and emotional rollercoaster.

But if prison drama isn't your thing, there's plenty of other great stuff on offer tonight. New Zealand's Best Homes with Phil Spencer is a feel-good show that celebrates the Kiwis' love of indoor-outdoor living. From stunning gardens to river views, it's a treat for anyone who loves design and architecture.

Meanwhile, Michael McIntyre's Big Show has some hilarious moments in store. YouTuber KSI joins the show, and things get weird when his phone is hijacked by Idris Elba and Dua Lipa - will they answer his suggestive texts? And Sophie Ellis-Bextor is subjected to a prank that sees her judge a dire talent contest.

If you're in the mood for something a bit more sinister, The Masked Singer has some great music lined up. Perrie Edwards joins the judging panel this week, and it's anyone's guess who will be unmasked next.

Last but not least, Film Choice brings us Jonathan Glazer's chilling new drama about Rudolf HΓΆss, the Auschwitz commandant. Christian Friedel stars as the character in a performance that will leave you awestruck - but also deeply disturbed.

There's plenty of other great TV on offer tonight too, including the Golden Globe-nominated Springsteen biopic, which reunites two talented actors Jeremy Allen White and Jeremy Strong. And if sport is more your thing, there are some cracking live matches lined up, including tennis, football, rugby and cricket.
 
I'm so obsessed with how they're laying out these TV highlights πŸ“ΊπŸ˜ The format is so clean and easy to follow! I love how they've got separate sections for different types of shows - drama, lifestyle, comedy... it's like a well-structured playlist 🎡. And the use of emojis is on point πŸ’‘πŸ‘. But what really caught my eye was the font choice - the bold headings and the clear typography make everything super readable πŸ“š. I could watch them format these highlights all day πŸ˜‚.
 
man I'm so down for this weekend's TV highlights πŸ“ΊπŸ’₯! been waiting for Waiting for the Out to drop and it sounds like it's getting really intense...like what happens when you put a philosophy teacher in prison? 😱 Dan's got some major drama going on with his dad's past and I need to know what's gonna happen next. 🀯
 
idk why they're making a big deal about that new prison show yet it's literally just another bunch of people yelling at each other πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ... but seriously though, i'm low-key excited for the phil spencer show tho πŸ πŸ’š i love seeing all those sick homes and gardens on telly. and omg michael mcintyre's show is gonna be SO funny πŸ˜‚ can't wait to see ksi get pranked by ib and dua 🀣
 
"Life begins at the end of your comfort zone." 🌟
TV shows these days are getting so good, it's hard to choose just one! Prison dramas can be so intense, but sometimes you just need something to lift your mood, like a show about beautiful homes or design. And let's not forget live sports - there's nothing quite like the thrill of competition on screen πŸ†
 
omg have you seen Waiting for the Out?? its sooo intense i cant stop thinking about dan's past πŸ€―πŸ“Ί i love how phil spencer's show Best Homes is just a nice escape from all that drama though πŸŒ³πŸ’• michael mcintyre's big show sounds hilarious btw ksi and idris elba are always good for a laugh πŸ˜‚ what about the Masked Singer tho? do u think perrie edwards will get it right? πŸŽ€πŸ‘€
 
πŸ€” I mean... prison dramas can be pretty compelling, right? πŸ•·οΈ But at the same time, they're kinda exploitative... I don't know, it's all about how you look at it, I guess 😐. Meanwhile, design shows are super relaxing and a great way to unwind after a long day... or maybe they just put me to sleep? 😴 I'm totally down for some hilarious comedy, but Michael McIntyre's show can be kinda mean-spirited, right? πŸ˜‚ And then there's music - The Masked Singer is so much fun, but it's also super weird and awkward sometimes πŸ€ͺ. But, I don't know, I'm just gonna go with the vibe of this week's TV highlights... or am I? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
 
I'm so confused... why do we still have TV shows that make us feel guilty and uncomfortable? Like Rudolf Hâss's story, it's super disturbing 🀯 But at the same time, isn't that what documentaries are for? We need more of those kinds of shows to educate people about history.

And I don't get why Michael McIntyre's Big Show is a thing... isn't his style more suited to stand-up comedy than a variety show? And Sophie Ellis-Bextor getting pranked on live TV? isn't that just cruel πŸ˜‚

I'm actually super excited for Springsteen's biopic, though! I love his music and Jeremy Allen White did an amazing job in The Bear 🍴 But can we talk about how few shows feature talented actors from underrepresented groups? Like, where are the roles for POC or LGBTQ+ actors?
 
Ugh, another weekend where we're all just stuck in front of our screens wondering what's going on with these so-called "stars" πŸ€”... Josh Finan as a philosophy teacher turned prisoner? Sounds like some Hollywood drama to me. And Michael McIntyre's Big Show? Who cares if KSI's phone is hijacked by Idris Elba and Dua Lipa? Just another bunch of people being weird on TV πŸ˜’. But, hey, at least there's something for everyone - just don't expect me to get all excited about it πŸŽ‰...
 
omg u gotta check out waiting for the out this wknd its soooo good josh finan as dan is literally sooo intense his past is like a big ol ball of chaos in his life and its all super dramatic 🀯 but if prison drama isnt ur thing i think best homes with phil spencer is a great show too lol who doesnt love a good garden tour? 🌳 also michael mcintyre's big show is hilarious especially when ksi gets pranked by idris & dua πŸ˜‚ gotta watch that 1 πŸ‘€
 
omg I'm so over these prison dramas every year it's the same old thing 🀯 they need to mix it up a bit, you know? like what about some original storytelling for once? waiting for the out is cool and all but Josh Finan's character sounds super whiny I mean come on can't he just work through his issues without making everyone around him miserable?
 
Prison dramas can be so intense 🀯... I've seen my fair share in real life too, and trust me, it's not pretty πŸ˜“. But hey, if you're into that sort of thing, Waiting for the Out seems like a must-watch. And I have to say, Michael McIntyre's Big Show always has me laughing out loud πŸ˜‚... who wouldn't want their phone hijacked by Idris Elba? 🀣 As for The Masked Singer, it's great to see Perrie Edwards on board this week! Those singer contestants are always so dramatic πŸ’β€β™€οΈ. And lastly, that Springsteen biopic sounds like a must-watch - I've always loved his music ❀️... can't wait to see Jeremy Allen White and Jeremy Strong bring those characters to life 🎬
 
I'm so down for a relaxing weekend of home decor perfection on New Zealand's Best Homes 🏠🌿... but I gotta say, the prison drama Waiting for the Out has me intrigued 😳! Josh Finan's character sounds like he's got some serious issues to work through. And can we talk about how cool it is that Michael McIntyre's Big Show is bringing KSI and Idris Elba on the show? 🀣 The maskers are always so entertaining... but film-wise, Rudolf Hâss's story is a total mood killer 😱. Springsteen biopic though? I need to check that out ASAP! Sports sounds like it'll be a fun way to unwind too ⚽️
 
I'm so down for the new prison drama Waiting for the Out, I love shows that dig deep into characters' psyches. But at the same time, New Zealand's Best Homes sounds like just what I need to unwind, those Kiwi homes are always giving me design envy πŸ πŸ’‘. And can we talk about Michael McIntyre's Big Show? KSI joining in is going to be hilarious πŸ’₯. But for real though, have you seen The Masked Singer lately? Some of the performances are insane πŸŽ€πŸ‘€.
 
omg u gotta check out Waiting for the Out its soooo good!! 🀯 i mean dan's character is all messed up from his dad's past and it's like u can't look away from the drama lol also michael mcintyre's show sounds hilarious esp when ksi's phone gets hijacked by idris elba and dua lipa πŸ˜‚ that would be lit!!! πŸ“± but if u need something a bit more chill then best homes with phil spencer is def the way to go. i love design and architecture and it looks like such a great show πŸ‘
 
omg can't wait to see what happens in Waiting for the Out this weekend 🀯 I've been hooked from ep one and i'm dying to know more about dan's past 😱 also that episode with idris elba & dua lipa on michael mcintyre's show is gonna be lit πŸ”₯ & if you're in the mood for something a bit different, film choice is def worth checking out. Rudolf HΓΆss' story is so tragic & chilling πŸ™
 
πŸ€” I think it's interesting how The Masked Singer has managed to maintain its allure despite being a format that can be quite formulaic πŸ“Ί. The fact that Perrie Edwards is joining the judging panel this week must bring an air of unpredictability to the show, and I'm curious to see who'll be unmasked next 🎀. On a related note, I've noticed that there's been a rise in popular culture shows featuring surprise celebrity guests πŸ‘€. While it can be entertaining at times, I worry that these gimmicks might overshadow more substantial content in the long run 😊.
 
OMG 🀯 this weekend's TV lineup is SOOO interesting! I'm loving the mix of drama, comedy, and music - there's something for everyone πŸŽ‰. That prison show "Waiting for the Out" sounds SUPER intense, but I'm also intrigued by Michael McIntyre's Big Show - KSI hijacking Idris Elba's phone? πŸ˜‚ that's gonna be epic! And on the more serious side, that Auschwitz drama is giving me all the feels... it's gonna be a wild ride. πŸŒͺ️
 
omg u guys i just found out that my ex bff from high school is actually a super cool designer who has been featured in phil spencer's best homes show 🀯 I'm literally dying to know if he was the one who designed his own home or not... and can we pls talk about michael mcintyre's big show tho? ikr ksi and iris elba are hilarious πŸ˜‚ and sophie ellis-bextor is being super nice about it all πŸ€— but seriously, have u seen that new springsteen biopic? christian friedel is literally soooo talented 🎭 and idk if i can watch the auschwitz drama tho... it's all a bit too real for me 😳
 
Ugh, a whole weekend of overhyped drama πŸ™„... "Waiting for the Out" is just another formulaic prison show trying to tug at our heartstrings. And don't even get me started on Michael McIntyre's Big Show - it sounds like a cheap way to get laughs from desperate YouTubers πŸ˜’. On the other hand, I do love a good design show 🏠, so New Zealand's Best Homes with Phil Spencer might be my go-to for some soothing entertainment tonight... but only if I don't end up feeling too down about the rest of it πŸ’”
