British Road Movies is a strong, confident debut from the former Long Blondes frontwoman. And why wouldn’t it be? Kate Jackson has always had flair and talent to match, and this new collection of 10 songs was co-written and produced by Bernard Butler.

The Damned: Don’t You Wish We Were Dead? is a thorough, even-handed look back at their history, cultural significance and the colorful, clashing personalities within the seminal punk band.

How to pay tribute to the group with perhaps the most obsessive, meticulous, and passionate fans in music history? Not to mention a group with a ludicrously expansive discography: Grateful Dead recorded 22 studio albums between 1967 and 1990, and put out more than 140 in total.

Preacher is adapted from the Vertigo Comics series of the same name. We might well be in a golden age of television adaptations of other properties: for instance, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, and, recently, The Magicians. While it’s hard to extrapolate from a pilot whether Preacher will eventually reach a similar critical or popular success as those franchises, it’s certainly off to a very strong start.
