## TUESDAY 



  

#### The Boy That Never Was, Sky Go

What would you do if your missing child returned? Colin Morgan (*Humans, Merlin*) and Toni O'Rourke (*God’s Creatures*) lead this gripping four-part Irish drama, based on the novel of the same name by Karen Perry. Three years after their son went missing in an earthquake in Morocco, a couple's life is shattered when they see a young boy in Dublin whom they believe to be him. As quickly as they see him, the boy disappears from view. Is it a shared delusion caused by grief or could their son actually be back? The couple embarks on a desperate quest to uncover the truth and bring their boy home.

#### Public Enemies: Kendrick vs Drake, Channel 4

Even if you aren’t into rap or hip hop, it’s likely you’ll have heard of the Kendrick Lamar and Drake ‘beef’. Kendrick’s diss track ‘Not Like Us’ broke the internet earlier this year, making this the most talked-about spat since Biggie and Tupac. This documentary delves into the broader context of their cultural standing and examines the events that triggered the public feud, as well as the allegations of paedophilia.

## WEDNESDAY 



  

#### Martha, Netflix 

Stars who’ve experienced dramatic falls from grace are a dime a dozen, but few have risen again like Martha Stewart. For over 50 years, she has shaped American culture – from her beloved buttermilk pancake recipe to her method for folding a fitted sheet, Stewart’s impact as the original lifestyle influencer is undeniable. This new Netflix documentary offers a comprehensive look at her extraordinary life, featuring never-before-seen photos, letters, diary entries, interviews with Martha herself and insights from those closest to her – including her unlikely friend Snoop Dogg.

#### Ludwig, BBC 

David Mitchell’s acclaimed comedy crime drama wraps up this week. Lucy (Anna Maxwell Martin) ends up in police custody following a mysterious phone call. Meanwhile John (David Mitchell), who has been successfully impersonating his missing detective twin brother, also finds himself in hot water when an unexpected twist threatens to jeopardise everything. On the bright side, it may also lead him to uncover the truth about his brother’s fate.

## THURSDAY 



  

#### The Diplomat, Netflix

Having worked on *The West Wing* and *Homeland*, *The Diplomat’s* creator Deborah Cahn knows how to captivate audiences with intense political and personal drama. In season two, Keri Russell returns as the sharp-witted Kate Wyler, picking up right after the explosive finale of season one. As Kate navigates the conspiracy that nearly claimed her on-again, off-again husband (Rufus Sewell), CIA station chief Eidra Park (Ali Ahn) delivers a chilling warning: the last time the US surveilled a prime minister, it almost brought Nato to its knees.

 Small Things Like These 

 



 

 

 

 

## FRIDAY 



  

#### Small Things Like These

Fresh off his Oscar win, Cillian Murphy stars in *Small Things Like These*, a film that delves into Ireland's infamous Magdalene laundries. Based on Claire Keegan's novel of the same name, the film is set in 1985 in New Ross, during the run up to Christmas. It follows coal merchant Bill Furlong (Murphy), a devoted father who uncovers dark secrets at a local convent that force him to confront his own troubled past. This Dickensian tale, rooted in true events, exposes the church’s abusive workhouses for unwed mothers, where women endured shame and had their babies taken away.

#### Juror #2 

It’s no surprise Clint Eastwood has attracted an impressive cast to his latest release. The line-up for *Juror #2* includes Nicholas Hoult, Toni Collette, JK Simmons and Kiefer Sutherland. The story follows Justin Kemp (Hoult), a family man serving on a high-profile murder trial who discovers he may have unwittingly contributed to the victim's death. As the trial unfolds, he grapples with the tension between seeking justice and confronting his own potential guilt.

#### Anora

Billed as making *Pretty Woman* look like a Disney film, Sean Baker’s *Anora* premiered at this year’s Cannes Film Festival where it won the prestigious Palme d'Or award. Known for his 2017 film *The Florida Project*, Baker often explores the lives of marginalised individuals. *Anora* stars Mikey Madison as a stripper who becomes entangled with the son of a Russian oligarch, leading to an unexpected elopement in Las Vegas.
