# 469: Rivals, The Franchise, The Pardeeps of Pittsburgh, The Office Australia

  • Summary

  • Dawn Glenn and Mo Walker join Matt to review four new shows. First, they travel back to 1986 to a life of excess in Disney's take on Jilly Cooper's hit novel Rivals. Then, imagine life on the set of a Marvel-esque superhero movie in Sky and HBO comedy The Franchise. Over on Prime Video, there are two new comedies. Firstly, an Indian family move to America for a new life in The Pardeeps of Pittsburgh. Finally, and for reasons that aren't entirely, the Australians have remade The Office for 2024. This throws up a lot of questions. Why remake something that has been so widely seen and also, have they done anything new with the format to make it feel more of its time?

    Elsewhere, Matt has finished Heartstopper on Netflix and Dawn has some thoughts on Sky's Sweetpea.
