STREAMING

Lenox Hill

Netflix, from June 10

Here’s a shock for you – Netflix is releasing a new documentar­y series, but it isn’t true crime-related. Instead, it’s a rather timely project that takes viewers inside Lenox Hill Hospital in New York as it follows the profession­al lives of four of the institutio­n’s doctors – two are brain surgeons, one is an ER specialist and the other is the chief resident in the field of obstetrics and gynaecolog­y. Directors Adi Barash and Ruthie Shatz have been given no-holds-barred access to the quartet’s work, and as a result offer an unflinchin­g insight into the difficulti­es the medics face as they cover every aspect of life, from birth to death, while attempting to juggle the demands of their job with their commitment­s to their families and friends.

But we’re living in strange times at the moment, so here he is, becoming a variety show host. Maya Jama and Alex Horne and his band The Horne Section will also feature, and together they aim to give the British public a taste of some of the major events they’re being forced to miss this summer, with help from celebrity guests.

Archive action from the tournament, with England taking on the Netherland­s at Wembley Stadium, knowing a win for either side would see them top Group A.
