Bingewatch - Below, Carrie, Pierre, and The Reluctant Vampire

Ian and Hannah review the biggest new films and bingeable shows on UK streaming services for the week beginning Friday 9th October 2026, including:

When a mysterious sea creature terrorises a remote town, a fisherman must fight to protect his family, his community, and his way of life. Josh Hartnett and Mackenzie Davis star in nautical Netflix thriller Below.

After her father's sudden, untimely death thrusts her into the unforgiving ecosystem of public high school, Carrie is forced to navigate a viral bullying scandal that tears through her community, the relentless pressure and casual cruelty of the social‑media age, and the awakening of mysterious telekinetic powers that rise alongside her adolescence. Featuring Scream legend Matthew Lillard, this is Prime Video's adaptation of the Stephen King classic.

A West London duty solicitor is a force of nature, battling to keep his clients away from a system that would chew them up and spit them out; his hard-earned expertise is free to those who need it the most. David Harewood leads Channel 4's new legal drama, Pierre.

Every family has secrets – this one has fangs. Which is a bit of a problem when you're actually human. Lenny Rush stars in Eric Morecambe's spooky BBC comedy, The Reluctant Vampire.
