January 30, 2019 - 16:10 GMT Emmy Griffiths There are some great shows coming to Netflix, NOW TV and Amazon Prime in February 2019 like The Handmaid's Tale and Nightflyers - we're only sorry we won't have time to watch them all! Oh, is it too cold to go outside still? We guess that means we'll have to stick on the telly and catch-up on some of our favourite shows. Luckily, there are some brilliant ones coming to Netflix, Amazon Prime and NOW TV in February in the UK. From dystopian dramas to wholesome comedies, take a look through our top picks of shows to stream… Netflix American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace - 1 February Finally tune in and watch the show that has made perhaps the biggest wave during awards season, with Darren Criss (who plays Andrew Cunanan) picking up all of the awards. The series follows the real life assassination of fashion icon Gianni Versace at the hands of the serial killer, Cunanan, and examines the murderer's other victims, and his motives. It's very creepy, and if you liked The People vs. OJ Simpson, this is definitely the one for you. The Umbrella Academy - 15 February Seven super powered children are adopted by a billionaire, in the hopes that his new army might save the world. However, once the youngsters become teenagers, everything changes. Now in their thirties, the dysfunctional family are forced to join together to solve the mystery of their estranged father's death. From the mind of Gerard Way (from My Chemical Romance), this one looks like it'll be a total winner, so get in there before everyone knows about it! Nightflyers - 1 February Game of Thrones but in space? George RR Martin has swapped dragons for spaceships for his first television project since being the mind behind the most popular TV show of all time.

Mahershala Ali as Cottonmouth in Luke Cage. Photo: Myles Aronowitz/Netflix When Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad first signed on to score Netflix’s Luke Cage , they didn’t consider how the show would consume their day-to-day lives. The two are legendary — Muhammad was a founding member of A Tribe Called Quest, and the prolific Younge has an output that defies categorization. They quickly realized all future plans needed to be shelved. It wasn’t solely that the score was overly consuming — though Younge concedes, “We had to give up our lives as artists to dedicate ourselves wholly to this score” — but more that Younge and Muhammad realized they had a chance to create a score that could define the TV series. “We raised the bar and created something that is timeless,” professes Muhammad. Over coffee at the Cut restaurant in the recently opened Four Seasons Downtown in New York City, Vulture spoke with the two musicians about creating the score, the lack of opportunities for black composers, and setting a tone that bridges a many musical genres. You both had worked together before Luke Cage , right? Ali Shaheed Muhammad: Since about 2013, when he was working on the Souls of Mischief record, and he asked me to be a part of it. That formed our friendship and production partnership, but we had never spoken about scoring together, so when [showrunner] Cheo [Hodari Coker] reached out to us individually, it was easy to fall into. For something like this, are you both in the same room working together? Are you emailing? And then how do you get the orchestra involved? Adrian Younge : There are 13 episodes, and on each of the episodes, we have a spotting session, where we meet with the directors and the music supervisors, and we all watch the episode. Then we write notes and we leave. Ali takes these amount of cues, I take these amount of cues, we do a certain amount of cues together, and when we are done, we submit it for approval to everybody, … [Read more...] about The Musicians Behind

“It was all about music, all about fun. We didn’t take anything seriously. We thought it was a girls’ club.” Photo-Illustration: Vulture and Photo by: Melanie Nissen/Courtesy of SHOWTIME In the early 1980s, the Go-Go’s redefined what women in the music industry could accomplish. After cutting their teeth in the early Los Angeles punk scene, vocalist Belinda Carlisle, lead guitarist Charlotte Caffey, guitarist Jane Wiedlin, bassist Kathy Valentine, and drummer Gina Schock pivoted to pop and ascended to mainstream stardom without deferring to a svengali or outsourcing their musicianship. They became the first all-women band who wrote their own songs and played their own instruments to have a No. 1 album with 1981’s Beauty and the Beat — a seemingly arbitrary statistic, especially for a record home to classic earworms “We Got the Beat” and “Our Lips Are Sealed,” but the feat hasn’t been duplicated in the 40 years since. (Nope, not even with the Chicks or Haim .) The Go-Go’s have remained intermittently active in the subsequent decades— both with creative pursuits and in-band legal battles over the profits from their music. (They’re now reconciled.) Recently, they released a new single , agreed to a thoughtful documentary about their history called The Go-Go’s , and received their first Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nomination for the 2021 class . Critics and fans alike felt the band deserved the honor 15 years ago, when they first become eligible; Carlisle agrees it’s about damn time. The singer, who now lives in Thailand, walked us through the best, worst, and most influential of the band. The band’s best song The lyrics to “Lust to Love” are amazing and it captures our attitude towards romance in those early days, when we were in our late teens and early twenties. And I love the chord progression, how it drops out in the beginning and then kicks in. It’s probably my favorite song to perform live. Song you wish the Go-Go’s … [Read more...] about The Most Punk, Irreverent, and Joyous of the Go-Go’s, According to Belinda Carlisle
