ON DEMAND HIGHLIGHTS
AMAZON PRIME VIDEO
MOVIE The Waterboy (1998) 12 ◆ ★★★ Silly comedy with Adam Sandler as a simple soul who hands out water to his college football team, then becomes a sporting star. From today.
Seven Pounds
MOVIE (2008) 12 ◆ ★★★ Tear-jerking drama starring Will Smith as guilt-ridden man who devises an unusual way to atone for a devastating fatal car crash he caused. From Tuesday.
MOVIE The Fast And The Furious
(2001) 12 ◆ ★★★★ The original street racing thriller comes to Prime, as do the following five movies in what is now a huge franchise — this is up to and including Fast & Furious 6, which is the one that added Jason Statham to the mix. From Tuesday.
NEW! Reacher (Season 1) ★★★★ Jack Reacher is the strong, silent type and, in this new series based on Lee Child’s first novel, Killing Floor, he’s capable of both Sherlock-level deductions and fighting six men at once. He also doesn’t speak for the first six minutes — because he’s the strong, silent type — and is a lot of fun to watch in this show, which has moments of extreme violence and begins in a small town with rotten apples. From Friday.
NETFLIX
NEW! Raising Dion (Season 2) ★★★
A new season for the endearing US drama about a mum who struggles to raise a boy with superpowers. From Tuesday.
NEW! The Tinder Swindler ★★★★ This mesmerising documentary should be a hit for Netflix. It’s the story of a con man who posed as a diamond billionaire and swindled the women he wooed. The women tell the story, and the warm way they talk about the romance phase — even now — makes you see why it all happened. From Wednesday.
NEW! Murderville (Season 1)
★★★★ Sharon Stone is one of the stars investigating a murder in this zany US comedy take on BBC3’s Murder In Successville. Each celebrity is paired with Will Arnett’s tough detective, Terry Seattle (above, with Stone), and subjected to the whims of improvising comedians who play the suspects determined to make trouble for the star. From Thursday.
