The Completely Made Up Adventures of Dick Turpin Apple TV +
Noel Fielding brings his particular brand of Pythonesque, surreal silliness to this enjoyably absurd and very British-humoured, loose imagining of the life and times of highwayman Dick Turpin, who here is imagined as a lover of showy frocks, vegan food, tall tales and highfarce capers.
To Kill A Tiger Netflix
Director Nisha Pahuja’s Oscar-nominated documentary tackles the difficult but burning issue of rape in India through the story of Ranjit, a father who battles his community and the country’s justice system to obtain justice for the sexual assault of his 13-year-old daughter. It’s a difficult to watch film that tackles the legal and cultural attitudes that have prevailed in a country where a rape is reported every 20 minutes and conviction rates are less than 30%.
Babylon Showmax
Damien Chazelle’s unfairly maligned epic, throw-everything-and-an-elephant at the screen, dark love letter to the chaos and hedonism of early Hollywood may prove exhausting for many viewers, but it’s ultimately a dedicated tribute to a forgotten era in all its shame, glory and messy relationships.
The Gentlemen Netflix
Guy Ritchie extends the world, story and characters of his 2019 feature in this crime caper series starring Theo James as aristocratic Eddie, who after he inherits the family estate discovers that it’s home to an enormous marijuana empire and that running the family business is going to be far tougher than he imagined.
Better Call Saul Season 6 Netflix
Bob Odenkirk and creator Vince Gilligan take on the unenviable challenge of bringing one of recent television’s most engaging and dramatically intriguing series to a close with intelligence, empathy and plenty of unexpected twists and turns in a fitting goodbye to a show that long ago stepped out of the shadows of its Breaking Bad origins and succeeded on its own brilliant terms.
