# 512: The Pitt, Babies, Bait, Something Very Bad is Going to Happen
Episode 112
Monday, 30 March, 2026
Luke joins Matt and Dawn for another look at four shows available this week. HBO Max has finally launched in the UK, which means our long wait for the award-winning medical drama The Pitt has come to an end. The 15-episode series functions differently from any other show in the genre, with each episode capturing an hour of the same hectic shift for the medics. It's a show we've had to wait over a year for, but is it worth the wait? Next, the creator of Mum and Him & Her has a brand new BBC One series about a couple desperate for childern. Babies, features the same naturalistic dialogue we've come to expect from this writer, with two wonderful performances in the lead roles. It's the other side of the story that confuses us. Next, Netflix has a new horror show, Something Very Bad is Going to Happen, which, despite its title warning you of worse to come, feels overstuffed, desperate to be scary and strangely empty. Lastly, Prime Video has a new British comedy, Bait, written by and starring Riz Ahmed as an actor whose life is upended when he is spotted leaving an audition for James Bond. It's a clever idea, but is it disciplined enough to keep us watching? For the The Strikes Quiz, Luke challenges Matt and Dawn to list as many of the shows they reviewed in 2025 as they can. It's harder than you think.
