SONY'S SPECTACULAR SCREEN TIME: TOP TV TREATS FOR DAD THIS FATHER'S DAY

Everyone knows that father’s day is the day when men get a break from all their daily household chores and can finally relax; a father’s day well spent is a father’s day well deserved. So, what is better than setting up a long day of television for the man of the house? With the wide variety of channels and series available for TV enthusiasts, it is quite the task to find one that will light the fire in a dad’s heart. Sony has its heart in the right place when it comes to entertaining us, so here are my best Sony picks for Daddy’s day.

REVEL IN THE CHAOS OF "TWISTED METAL"

First up, we have the racing series Twisted Metal (2023-) based on the Sony Interactive Entertainment video game, which is high octane dark comedy. Chaotic vehicle combat postapocalyptic fun in a great package. John Doe (played by Anthony Mackie) is a man on a mission to uncover his past as he lives in a harsh postapocalyptic world that requires him to make dangerous deliveries. The first season is out now (with a second already greenlit) and perfect for papa if he likes things that are explosively funny and action-packed.

DIVE INTO THE DRAMA OF "YELLOWSTONE"

Yellowstone (2018-) might not come directly from the Sony stable, but it has the heart and soul of a series guaranteed to get a rousing round of applause from fathers everywhere. As Kevin Costner’s John Dutton III fights to keep his land and legacy, viewers have grown passionate about this family drama, the power play, and the rugged realities of the American West. With the season finale approaching, Father’s Day would be a terrific time for dad to catch up on the series or revisit the ups and downs of Dutton family dynamics.

LAUGH OUT LOUD WITH "TED"

Based on the Sony-affiliated hit movies Ted (2012) and Ted 2 (2015), the ted (2024-) family-friendly comedy adventure series gives a raunchy spin to its Father’s Day-ready offering with this prequel centered on John Bennett as a teenager, and his companion Ted – a talking stuffed-animal bear – who is up to all sorts of shenanigans while they are both still in high school in the ‘90s. The show takes a nostalgic look back at that era with an anachronistic sense of humour and raunchiness, making it the perfect Father’s Day show for silly dads who enjoy mixing a bit of absurdity with their comedy.

SONY'S IMPACT ON ENTERTAINMENT

As the video above makes clear, Sony has remained at the forefront of popular entertainment for years, pushing the boundaries on storytelling, technology, and creativity, with a huge involvement in videogames, movies, and television. Shows such as Twisted Metal demonstrate Sony’s ability to adapt and reimagine its own videogame properties for other media, and also reflect its dedication to a broad range of quality content that still appeals to dads and their kids.

HARNESSING THE POWER OF PEACOCK AND SONY

Thanks to partners like whale-sized global companies like Sony, streaming services such as Peacock’s wide variety of offerings ensures that there’s something for everyone – on any given day. Everything from escapist fantasy to intense Egyptian drama. And Father’s Day? Well, this is how to make the day special. We take all the pressure off our beloved Dads – yup, we women never tire of our men – with our curated guide of proven shows guaranteed to make dad’s day special. Happy watching, relaxing…and celebrating.

CELEBRATING FATHER'S DAY WITH SONY

When men make the choice to dedicate Father’s day to watching and sharing the worlds that Sony has created, that’s more than sitting and watching TV. It’s about sharing shows, laughter, and sometimes edge-of-the-seat exhilaration — all the things that the Sony shows bring to the table. Twisted Metal gritty roads, the rugged terrain of Yellowstone, or the silliness of ted are all sure to create a memorable, laughable, and nourishing day for dad and for families.

He’ll get to unwind, relish the drama, the action and the humour, and, albeit momentarily, create brand-new ‘dad’ memories.
