Rooney
NEW! ★★★★ ‘I never saw him throw a punch where no one deserved it,’ observes Gary Neville in this finely made profile of Wayne Rooney, the footballer who made it big at an early age and came with a few rough edges. Rooney’s wife, Coleen, also offers her view in a film that primarily focuses on his professional life. From Friday.
DRAMA This Is Us (Season 6, Episodes 14) ★★★ This generation-hopping US drama is currently on a break, so now is a good time to get up to date with the final season, which returns to Prime Video and Disney+ weekly from Thursday, February 24.
COMEDY The Marvelous Mrs Maisel
(Seasons 1-3) ★★★★ Another good chance for a catch- up as this rat-a-tat show about a 1950s Jewish housewife turned stand-up will be back next Friday.
I Want You Back
MOVIE (2022) 15 ◆ ★★★ Charlie Day (It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia) stars in this US comedy about two dumped thirtysomethings who decide to break up their exes’ new relationships. Jenny Slate (Bob’s Burgers) is the other love saboteur, while the exes are Gina Rodriguez (Jane The Virgin) and Scott Eastwood, son of Clint. From Friday.
NETFLIX
NEW! Disenchantment (Part 4) ★★★ Matt Groening’s evolving fantasy comedy doesn’t have the instant appeal of The Simpsons or Futurama, but it’s built up a steady fanbase on Netflix. Here, we return to the life of offbeat heroine Bean, who has become a queen — but whose life has never been more complicated. From Wednesday.
NEW! Love Is Blind (Season 2)
★★★★ Singles speed-date through walls and then propose in this romance series. The premise might sound like a gimmick, but it’s actually quite revealing. From Friday.
NEW! Inventing Anna (All ten parts) ★★★★ Sure-footed dramatisation of the remarkable true story of Anna Sorokin, who defrauded much of New York society when she posed as German heiress Anna Delvey (Ozark’s Julia Garner, above) in the 2010s. Veep’s Anna Chlumsky plays the laser-focused reporter determined to figure her out. From Friday.
