Better Call Saul returns to Netflix: Watch the trailer

After a longer break than usual, Bob Odenkirk is finally back for another series of Better Call Saul on Netflix.

The last series ended with a cliffhanger after Chuck, having sworn off contact with his brother Jimmy, began to suffer from EHS symptoms again. Isolated in his home, Chuck kicked a gas lamp over, trapping himself inside his own home as it burned.

Better Call Saul has received critical acclaim since it first arrived on AMC in the US in 2015. The series, envisioned as a lighter prequel to global hit Breaking Bad, stars Bob Odenkirk as a younger version of his immoral lawyer Saul Goodman.

Known as Jimmy McGill in the show, Better Call Saul explains the story of how public defender Jimmy became embroiled in the world of criminal law.

Watch the trailer for season four here:

Better Call Saul season four is available on Netflix now.

Premier League 2018-19: The Fixtures

After a surprisingly eventful summer for English football, the Premier League drought is finally over as the first matches of the season begin this weekend.

Kicking off the 2018-19 season, Manchester United host Leicester City at Old Trafford on Friday, August 10 at 8pm. Both sides will be hoping for a winning start to the season, after United failed to clinch top spot last year and Leicester languished in 9th place.

The weekend will also see the first matches of the campaign for new arrivals Cardiff City, Fulham, and Wolves – all of whom have been promoted from the Championship. Cardiff City will play Bournemouth and Fulham will play Crystal Palace on Saturday, August 11 at 3pm. Meanwhile, Wolves’ first Premier League test against Everton will be televised live on BT Sport 1 later that same day at 5.30pm.

Last year’s Premiership winners Manchester City will be in action on Sunday August 12th at 4pm, facing off against Arsenal in the London club’s first challenge for new manager Unai Emery.

For the full list of this season’s games and where they will be televised, football fans need look no further than TVGuide’s new and updated Premier League Fixtures page.

Our guide contains all the information about the upcoming season, including fixtures, stadiums, scores and any last minute timetable changes.

It’s the first place to start when planning one’s weekend of sports, with the option to add games to calendar so one never misses a game.

5 reality shows on demand to fill the Love Island-shaped hole in our hearts

The summer has flown by and so has Love Island‘s longest series yet.

All good things must come to an end with this weekend seeing one couple crowned winners of Love Island 2018.

Filling that ITV2 9pm slot in our hearts may be difficult, but we’ve compiled a selection of reality shows that might just have what it takes.

1. Terrace House


If you’re interested in a complete change of pace from Love Island, this Netflix cult hit follows six strangers living together in Tokyo.

2. Ex on the Beach


Basically just Love Island without the romance, Ex on the Beach is like an older, trashier sister show.

3. First Dates


Channel 4’s dating show is more of a prim and proper approach to romance, wherein contestants go on fully-clothed dates before deciding whether they want to be together.

4. Naked Attraction


We all know being fully clothed is overrated, but Naked Attraction takes it a notch further by introducing prospective partners to each other – completely naked.

Nothing quite beats the old outrageous classic. After a whopping 18 series, this reality stalwart is still going strong.
