Consider your September evenings sorted with these 3 unmissable TV shows

As a TV writer, nothing excites me more than sharing my favourite TV shows with other people, and finding out someone else has also watched and loved a film or series I'm obsessed with.

There really is nothing better than endless conversations about perfectly written characters, jaw dropping or totally implausible plot lines, and the frustration of cliff hangers.

So, if you're struggling to pin down the top TV shows worth your time in the coming month, you've come to the right place.

The search stops right here, because one of these shows from my September top three will definitely become your next TV obsession, and fill the void long and sunny evenings left behind. If you watch them, let me know what you think.

The top 3 TV shows to watch this September

The Gentlemen season 2

When is it on TV? All eight episodes of The Gentlemen season 2 will arrive on Netflix at the same time on September 3 for your bingeing pleasure.

If you haven't seen season 1, this could be good news, because it means you have the joy of making your way through those episodes first, before diving right in for the next helping of this guy Ritchie caper.

For those of you who have seen season 1, it seems to be the norm that audiences are in for lengthy waits between seasons of great shows nowadays, and The Gentlemen is no different - you might've given up counting down the days for a second outing after the latest episodes took two and a half years to materialise.

Anywhere, they're here now, and definitely worth the wait. The action picks up a year after the events of season 1, and Eddie (Theo James) and Susie (Kaya Scodelario) are working together to expand Bobby’s (Ray Winstone) overseas criminal empire in Italy.

The new episodes see the pair's endeavours hindered by far reaching ambitions and Bobby's increasingly unsound decisions.

Expect more style, corruption and sharp humour, but with a far darker and more intense ride than season 1 gave you.

Slow Horses season 6

When is it on TV? Slow Horses season 6 premieres on Apple TV on September 16, with the finale airing on October 21.

Apple TV is jam packed full of hidden gems, and Slow Horses is absolutely one of them. You know it must be good when a TV show reaches its sixth outing and fans still want more - I'll certainly never tire of returning to Slough House and Jackson Lamb's unruly bunch of exiled MI5 misfits.

Again, if you're new to the show, what are you waiting for? Get those first five seasons under your belt (you'll get through them in no time, each episode is totally addictive,) and get ready for season 6.

The show is based on Mick Herron’s award-winning Slough House book series, and this season is adapted from the sixth and seventh novels, Joe Country and Slough House.

This time around, there’s a list kill list with all the Slow Horses’ names on it, and a race against time to bring down the assassins before they can take out our favourite motley crew.

Expect more of what is definitely a career best performance from Gary Oldman, plus some new faces joining the talented line-up of stars in the cast.

MobLand season 2

When is it on TV? MobLand season 2 makes a welcome return to Paramount+ on September 18.

Yes, there is another gangster-based drama on the list, and yes it's another one with Guy Ritchie involvement but trust me, this is one of the best things you'll ever see.

Forget whatever you've heard about dodgy accents and spats between the cast, you'll be drawn in by the incredible action, and watching Tom Hardy (Harry Da Souza) threatening absolutely everyone in his path is the entertainment you never knew you needed.

There's a lot of violence - season 1 was essentially a buffet of murder tapas, each one more terrifying and gratuitously gory than the next.

There's also Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, and a brilliant cast who are joined this time around by the equally brilliant Ophelia Lovibond and Johnny Flynn.

Season 1 saw two rival families in the grip of a bloody gang war. The series ended with heads of the Harrigan family mob Maeve and Conrad (Mirren and Brosnan,) off to jail, and their fixer Harry stabbed by his ex-wife.

Season 2 sees Maeve and Conrad out of jail and set to take on more power struggles. It's wild and I'm here for it, with all its strong 90s throwback vibes and people's wrong opinions that it's not very good - it really is.
