Killers of the Flower Moon Apple TV +
Martin Scorsese’s epic historical drama starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro and Lily Gladstone was made to be experienced on the big screen, but there’s still plenty of dark humour, hard-hitting historical outrage and intrigue to be offered for smallscreen viewers. It’s a compelling story about a reprehensible group of greedy white schemers and their murderous plot to get their hands on the oil money of the Osage nation in the 1920s, by any means necessary.
