CATTCH -UP TV —IN CASE YOU MISSED IT...

Case All 4, episodes 1-6 Case is an Icelandic psychological thriller in the mode of Scandi-noir, and part of Channel 4’s Walter Presents strand. The first episode was shown on Channel 4 on January 24, and this, along with all episodes in the series is now available on All 4. Directed by Baldvin Zophoniasson, who directed some of the brilliant Trapped ,on BBC Four last year, this begins with the apparent suicide of Lara, a talented teenage ballerina, who is found dead at Reykjavik’s National Theatre. Enter Gabriela (Steinunn Olina Porsteinsdottir, also from Trapped), as the pleasingly normal investigating detective. From such beginnings are great dramas made. Lara’s schoolfriends can’t tell a straight story about what she did and wore when she was last seen, the official stories shift and dissolve, while a local newspaper seeks to discredit Lara’s grieving adoptive parents. Soon, Gabriela begins to suspect foul play, and more. Something is very rotten at the heart of Reykjavik, with vulnerable children unprotected by the community they belong to, and a whole lot of drinking and drugging, even among the ‘normal’ folk. Settle in! Generation F*d RTE Player, until February 12, episode 1 This, it seems, is no country for young men. Or women. RTE’s new docu-series looks at the realities of life for the generation aged 25-35, the ones we often call, sneeringly, millennials. These are the kids who grew up during the boom but came of age during our worst economic crisis ever, and may have been suffering from a skewed perspective on life. Often dismissed as a bit precious, sympathy has been in short supply for millennials. However, a good hard look at the realities of their lives might change that. Generation F*d was filmed over six months, with a cast from diverse backgrounds, as they go about trying to lead independent lives: buy a house, get married, get a decent job like newly-qualified teacher Luke McGahren (left). Seeing just how difficult these cornerstones are, is sobering.
