This week on the TV Gold podcast with Andrew Mercado and James Manning there are reviews of:
King and Conqueror (SBS)
The Chair Company (HBO Max)
The Woman in Cabin 10 (Netflix movie)
Victoria Beckham (Netflix)

King and Conqueror (SBS On Demand, 8 episodes, two on launch and then weekly)
King & Conqueror epic eight-part series was filmed in Iceland and features James Norton (Happy Valley) as Harold, Earl of Wessex, and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Game of Thrones) as William, Duke of Normandy, two allies with no designs on the British throne who find themselves forced by circumstance to take up arms against each other.

The Chair Company (HBO Max, 8 episodes)
Cringe comedy – not a genre we enjoy a lot.
After an embarrassing incident at work, a man (Tim Robinson) finds himself investigating a far-reaching conspiracy.
The embarrassing incident is a chair collapsing on him while onstage at a work function in front of a handful of people.

The Woman in Cabin 10 (Netflix movie)
While on a luxury yacht for a travel assignment, a journalist (Keira Knightly) witnesses a passenger tossed overboard late one night, only to be told that she must have dreamed it, as all passengers are accounted for. Despite not being believed by anyone onboard, she continues to look for answers, putting her own life in danger. Also co-stars Guy Pearce and Hannah Waddingham.
No show has caused so much debate this year about the merits of this movie. Andrew and James both enjoyed it because it was all over in 90 minutes, but there’s not much else they agree on about this shipboard thriller.

Victoria Beckham (Netflix, 3 episodes)
A three-part documentary that follows Victoria Beckham's career, from her rise to fame as Posh Spice to her current status as a fashion designer and businesswoman. 
The docuseries was produced by Studio 99, the production company founded by her husband, David Beckham. It was made following the success of his own 2023 Netflix documentary, Beckham, which featured some of Victoria's own viral moments. 
Not a lot of insights about the Spice Girls, but a fascinating glimpse inside Victoria’s business empire.
