Young SherlockFrom March 4th, Prime Video<\/p>\n
Guy Ritchie<\/a> is on familiar ground with his latest series, revisiting the famous fictional detective of his two hit films starring Robert Downey jnr<\/a> and Jude Law<\/a>. Young Sherlock is an origin story of the world\u2019s greatest detective, and stars Hero Fiennes Tiffin as the maverick young detective plying his trade in Victorian London<\/a> who more often than not finds himself on the wrong side of the law. The series follows young Sherlock as he takes on his first murder case, which brings him around the world and face to face with his future nemesis, James Moriarty. And don\u2019t worry \u2013 Ritchie will bring his usual kinetic style of cinematography and visceral fight scenes to this action-packed series.<\/p>\n The Hunt (Traqu\u00e9s)From March 4th, Apple TV<\/p>\n A bunch of guys load up on guns and head out to the wilderness for day of good old manly hunting, but before they can even bag some game, they encounter another hunting party who begin shooting at them without warning. Needless to say, the guys shoot back, taking down one of their unknown assailants before fleeing to safety. Will they report this attack to the cops? Hell, no! They decide to keep schtum and go back to their daily lives, but soon it becomes apparent that their attackers, seeking revenge, have tracked them to their suburban homes and are now stalking them and their families. How will they avoid becoming the prey? The friends will have to go back into the wilderness and become the hunters once again, flushing their enemies out. Beno\u00eet Magimel stars as the hunters\u2019 leader, Franck, with M\u00e9lanie Laurent, Damien Bonnard and Manuel Guillot co-starring. <\/p>\n VladimirFrom March 5th, Netflix<\/p>\n Rachel Weisz stars as a middle-aged professor going a bit nutty in this comedy drama based on the novel by Julia May Jonas. This academic is feeling rather unfulfilled in the bedroom department, and soon starts obsessing over her handsome, charming younger colleague Vladimir, played by Leo Woodall. Weisz\u2019s character doesn\u2019t seem to have a name, but we get to know her intimately as her growing fixation leads her to breaking all sorts of taboos in a bid to live out her naughtiest sexual fantasies. She also talks directly to the camera \u00e0 la Shirley Valentine, giving us all the salacious details of her F-plan. The trailer is a hoot, showcasing Weiss\u2019s comic timing as her character\u2019s world starts to unravel.<\/p>\n ScarpettaFrom March 11th, Prime Video<\/p>\n Nicole Kidman stars as forensic pathologist Kay Scarpetta in this new series adapted from the bestselling crime novels of Patricia Highsmith. It could be an inspired piece of casting, or a complete mismatch \u00e0 la Tom Cruise as Reacher, but based on Kidman\u2019s form in TV shows such as Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect Strangers, we\u2019re confident she\u2019ll do justice to one of the most popular characters in modern crime fiction. The series follows two distinct time lines, one in the 1990s, when Scarpetta is starting out on her career as a chief medical examiner, and one in the present day, where she returns to her hometown to investigate a gruesome murder. I\u2019m guessing the two timelines will connect up in a chilling manner. Jamie Lee Curtis co-stars as Scarpetta\u2019s sister Dorothy, with Bobby Cannavale as detective Pete Marino and Simon Baker from The Mentalist as FBI profiler Benton Wesley. <\/p>\n Age of AttractionFrom March 11th, Netflix<\/p>\n For some people, age is just a number, but for others, it\u2019s the number one consideration when choosing a potential partner. Most couples want to be around the same age and on the same page. But what if you found yourself on a date with someone and you had no idea how much older or younger they were than you? Would the age difference matter if the attraction was there? Netflix has reopened its love lab, following the success of Love Is Blind, only this time it\u2019s looking to see if love is ageless. Only one way to find out: bring a bunch of singletons aged between 22 and 60 to an idyllic villa, and see if the sparks fly across the age gap. No one will have any idea if their date is old enough to be their mom or young enough to be their son. As one participant says: \u201cI don\u2019t know if these guys are my age, my dad\u2019s age, or my grandpa\u2019s age.\u201d This dating experiment is hosted by Nick Viall and Natalie Joy, who are in an age-gap marriage (he\u2019s 44, she\u2019s 26), and give dating and relationship advice on their own podcast. <\/p>\n Imperfect WomenFrom March 18th, Apple TV<\/p>\n Mary, Eleanor and Nancy have been besties for, oh, ages now, but there\u2019s nothing like a murder to test those bonds of friendships. Elisabeth Moss, Kerry Washington and Kate Mara star in this psychological thriller series based on the novel by Araminta Hall. When the three friends meet up one night for a celebration, it turns out to be their last occasion together, as Nancy\u2019s body is found soon afterwards. Police suspicion falls on Mary and Eleanor, and soon secrets are exposed as the truth starts to trickle out. \u201cThis thing that the three of you had, I don\u2019t even know what to call it, but it wasn\u2019t a friendship,\u201d says one cop. Joel Kinnaman, Corey Stoll and Leslie Odom jnr costar. <\/p>\n DeadlochFrom March 20th, Prime Video<\/p>\n The hit crime comedy from Down Under returns for a second series, and this one promises to be sweatier, stickier and snappier than ever, as the detective duo of Dulcie Collins and Eddie Redcliffe move to the tropical Northern Territory to investigate the murder of Eddie\u2019s former colleague Bushy. They\u2019ll face some serious perils in this muggy, humid and hostile environment, including swamps, suspicious locals, crocodiles and a nasty dose of thrush. Kate Box and Madeleine Sami return as Dulcie and Eddie, with Nina Oyama and Alicia Gardner back as Abby and Cath, and Luke Hemsworth joining the cast as Jason. Writers Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan promise more madcap fun, mayhem and of course murder. <\/p>\n Daredevil: Born AgainFrom March 25th, Disney+<\/p>\n Charlie Cox dons the horned mask once again as Matt Murdoch, the blind lawyer who moonlights as fearless vigilante Daredevil, in the second series of the show set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). But fans fixated on the \u201ccanon\u201d might be disappointed to learn that there are no cameo appearances by Marvel superheroes in this new series, and they might get eye strain looking out for Easter Eggs or reference to the wider MCU. We\u2019re back in New York\u2019s Hell\u2019s Kitchen, and mayor Wilson Fisk (Vincent D\u2019Onofrio) has the city firmly in his malevolent grip. Murdoch is on a mission to bring Fisk\u2019s evil empire crumbling down and take back the city, but since Daredevil is branded Public Enemy Number One, defeating his nemesis is going to be easier said than done. <\/p>\n Jo Nesbo\u2019s Detective HoleFrom March 26th, Netflix<\/p>\n Fans of Norway\u2019s most famous fictional detective, Harry Hole, will be eagerly anticipating this new series based on the bestselling novels by Jo Nesbo. Tobias Santelmann plays the tortured, driven detective in this Norwegian-language series \u201cHarry is the best,\u201d says one colleague. \u201cHe\u2019s just not that good at everything else.\u201d The series is based on the fifth Harry Hole novel, The Devil\u2019s Star, and finds Hole hunting down a serial killer while also confronting corrupt detective Tom Waaler (Joel Kinnaman). Santelmann brings all Hole\u2019s strengths and weaknesses to life in this series, and says he feels \u201cincredibly humbled\u201d to be entrusted with the role.<\/p>\n Something Very Bad Is Going to HappenFrom March 26th, Netflix<\/p>\n Stranger Things may have reached its big finale, but the Duffer Brothers aren\u2019t just sitting around playing Dungeons and Dragons and wondering what to do next. Next month comes an animated series based on ST, and the are executive producers of this new horror series that wears its influences \u2013 Carrie; Rosemary\u2019s Baby \u2013 on its bloodstained sleeve. Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen is the creation of screenwriter and showrunner Haley Z Boston, and tells the story of a wedding day literally from Hell. Camila Morrone and Adam DiMarco are young engaged couple Rachel and Nicky, and the series follows them over the week leading up to their doomed nuptials. The fiendishly clever trick here is that you watch the series in full knowledge that it\u2019s all going to end very badly, which just twists the tension knob all the way up to 11. \u201cThe show is about the fear of marrying the wrong person,\u201d says Boston. Jennifer Jason Leigh puts some creepy Single White Female energy into her role as Victoria.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Young SherlockFrom March 4th, Prime Video Guy Ritchie is on familiar ground with his latest series, revisiting the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":323381,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[3288,10450,40798,93,58203,61,60,1868,5479,39033,72776,282],"class_list":{"0":"post-323380","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-apple-tv","9":"tag-disney-plus","10":"tag-elisabeth-moss","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-guy-ritchie","13":"tag-ie","14":"tag-ireland","15":"tag-netflix","16":"tag-nicole-kidman","17":"tag-prime-tv","18":"tag-rachel-weisz","19":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/323380","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=323380"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/323380\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/323381"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=323380"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=323380"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=323380"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
