James R | On 02, Nov 2019

With The Walking Dead and Watchmen still arriving weekly, along with episodes of Arrow, The Flash and Supergirl, Sky is already doing a good job of keeping your viewing schedule packed for November. This month, though, sees it stack another two big hitters on top of that pile, with the return of both Britannia and Ray Donovan. And, for those not yet converted to Sky Crime, Ed Kemper gets a chilling close-up in a new true crime documentary.
