The first episode sets a grimly compelling cloak-and-dagger atmosphere, focusing on Italian model Ambra Gutierrez, who was part of a NYPD police sting and wore a wire, recording a damning admission from Weinstein. It explores the stories of some of the film producer’s victims and offers revealing insights into how various power brokers attempted to protect him. Hosted and narrated by Ronan Farrow, and based on the US journalist’s Pulitzer Prize-winning book and podcast of the same name, Catch and Kill captures the downfall and eventual conviction of Harvey Weinstein. Honourable mentions: Beasts of the Southern Wild (film, 5 July) The Devil’s Rejects (film, 8 July) The Nest (film) Serangoon Road season 1 (TV, 9 July) Power Book III: Raising Kanan (TV, 18 July) Miracle Workers season three (TV, 14 July) Persepolis (film, 19 July) Mystery Road season two (TV, 20 July) Hacksaw Ridge (film, 23 July) High Ground, Attack the Block (films, 27 July). The social allegories are unsubtle but this show detonates truth bombs left right and centre. Koen West (Hunter Page-Lochard) was raised there but goes on to bigger and better things – running a swanky bar and, more importantly, transforming into the titular hero. In Griffen’s version of the future, people called Hairies live in third-world conditions in a District 9 style shanty town called the Zone. In the case of Cleverman, from Australian creator Ryan Griffen, that perspective is dystopian in essence and steeped in narratives passed down through generations of Indigenous Australians. Here’s something you don’t see very often: a superhero story with a genuinely fresh perspective. Hunter Page-Lochard as Koen West in Cleverman. At one point in the new show, in response to a comment that the doctor’s work ethic is “second to none”, Christian Slater – playing vascular surgeon Randall Kirby – shoots back: “Ted Bundy was a good worker too.” Yowch. It concerns Christopher Duntsch (Joshua Jackson – remember him?), a former spinal surgeon in Dallas whose shocking career was the subject of the smash-hit podcast of the same name. No, this is not about Australian euthanasia advocate Philip Nitschke, who in the past has been crudely referred to using the titular nickname.
DID LITTLE MASTER SEASON 2 22 JULY MOVIE
The first movie comes from Brian De Palma, a shadowy thriller with sweat-inducing set pieces the second has John Woo directing, with operatic violence and lots of doves and the third is from JJ Abrams, with more emphasis on characterisation and those damn lens flares.
DID LITTLE MASTER SEASON 2 22 JULY SERIES
The biggest blockbuster franchises – such as the Marvel, Star Wars, Star Trek and James Bond films – tend to recruit directors to follow the script, as it were, preferring productions to fit neatly within a template rather than embracing individual styles.īut the Mission: Impossible series takes a more auteur-centric approach, encouraging big-name directors to bring their own stamp to narratives that inevitably involve self-destructing messages and the international exploits of IMF agent Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise). Tom Cruise creating tension in the original Mission: Impossible.
