Hosted by Fiona Williams, Sana Qadar, Haidee Ireland and Natalie Hambly, this is a new independent show, and the next chapter for the team known for watching closely, a bit obsessively, and always with plenty to say. As The Handmaid’s Tale expands into The Testaments, we’ll be following along week by week with episode recaps, analysis and yes, dubious predictions. Alongside that, Eyes on Screen covers new TV shows, movie releases and what to watch next, as well as older favourites worth revisiting. Each week we talk through storytelling, performance, cinematography, score and the details that make a show or film work, mixing analysis with conversation, a few theories, and the kind of thoughts that come from watching something with other people who notice everything. We’ll also be speaking with cast and creators, sharing interviews and insider insight to deepen the connection to the TV shows and movies we love, and explore how they’re made behind the scenes.

Haidee has been giving Five Star Weekend a go — the star-studded female friendship drama with Jennifer Garner, Chloe Sevigny, Gemma Chan, Regina Hall and D'Arcy Carden — and has some thoughts on when to give a slow-starting show the benefit of the doubt. Nat has been watching Ted Lasso season four and making the case for why women's football might be exactly the reset the show needed. And then we go deep on movies with great premises and terrible endings — from the French feminist comedy I Am Not an Easy Man and its English remake Ladies First , to the afterlife romance Eternity , to Alex Garland's Men and its bonkers final act. Plus: What Dreams May Come , Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey , Hitchcock movie nights with children, and what happens when you show a kid Home Alone too soon.
