The 3 TV shows everyone will be talking about this weekend.

Sometimes, TV gets a little overwhelming.

I mean, weekly drops + bingeable shows + the ol' reliable comfort watches = a recipe for overwhelm.

With so many great new shows dropping recently, I've rounded up three shows that are definitely going to make some noise this weekend – whether it's on social media or in your group chat.

(Side note: if you want to plan your whole month of TV, here's my full May roundup: 'I watch TV for a living. Here are the best new shows I'm queuing up for May.')

You're welcome! 

Queen Charlotte.

Queen Shonda Rhimes has done it again, with a Bridgerton spin-off that's about to capture our imaginations.

Queen Charlotte tells the origin story of Bridgerton's most fun character; the match-making Queen of England. The Queen Charlotte we know and love — played by Golda Rosheuvel — is here, as well as Adjoa Andoh as Lady Danbury and Ruth Gemmell as Lady Violet Bridgerton, as the series switches between time periods.

In episode one, young Charlotte, played by India Amarteifio, travels to England, where she is to marry King George of England.

The series explores their unorthodox marriage, Charlotte's rise and how their union transforms high society. 

It's not as immediately sexy as Bridgerton, but Queen Charlotte is just as funny and charismatic. 

Across 50-minute(ish) six episodes, you'll fall in love with so many characters – whether new or very familiar.

Queen Charlotte is streaming on Netflix.

Even if this wasn't a show by and starring Pete Davidson, about a heightened version of Pete Davidson's life, the opening scene of Bupkis would cause chatter.

Because, well, it's outrageous.

But this IS a show by and starring Pete Davidson, about a heightened version of Pete Davidson's life. So, like the non-heightened, real-life version of Pete Davidson, there's going to be a lot of say.

Bupkis is a semi-autobiographical comedy series, starring Davidson alongside Oscar-winner Joe Pesci as his fictional grandfather and Emmy-winner Edie Falco as his mum, with a host of famous guest stars, like Ray Romano, Al Gore (????), Sebastian Stan and John Mulaney, whose scene delivers one of the show's best, most poignant moments.

The series has received mixed reviews, but that might only solidify the fact that people are going to be talking about it, as they debate reactions to a show that's half dude-bro humour and half genuinely heartfelt and earnest: in episode one, fictional Davidson tries to get his grandfather laid, and in episode two, a flashback documents young Davidson following the death of his father on 9/11.

There are 10 episodes, each under half an hour.

Slip.

If you could... uh, orgasm, and open your eyes in a completely different life, where would you want to be? 

Look. That may be the weirdest sentence I've ever put to the page, but stay with me, because that's the kind of thing that might get go off in your group chat this weekend.

Slip has the craziest premise I have heard in a long time: Every time 30-something Mae (Zoe Lister-Jones) orgasms, she transports to another dimension and a new life.

It begins when Mae is restless in her 13-year relationship with Elijah (Whitmer Thomas), and has a 'slip' where she winds up in bed with Eric (Amar Chadha-Patel), and while the plot seems outlandish and silly, Slip is also a touching story about long-term relationships and self-loathing, with heart AND humour.

There are seven episodes clocking in under 30 minutes each, so you can travel through this multiverse in record time.

Slip is streaming on Binge.
