The Girlfriend to Jade: the week in rave reviews
"Prime Video; available now Waleed Zuaiter, Robin Wright and Laurie Davidson in The Girlfriend. Photograph: Christopher Raphael/Courtesy of Prime Summed up in a sentence A steamy, incestuous adaptation of an excellent novel that pits an adult son's new girlfriend against his mother in an ever-more extreme contest. It has lost little of the book's psychological acuity and retained all of the suspense. Not one to watch with your sons, perhaps, but otherwise enjoy."
"Now; available now Summed up in a sentence A propulsive, gripping, three-part true-crime documentary about a dogged investigation into a young equestrian's death. What our reviewer said Its broader subject matter the epidemic of violence against women, and the ways such abuse is silenced, minimised and weaponised against the victims themselves is one of the few that can justify the existence of a series like this."
The Girlfriend presents a steamy, incestuous adaptation that stages an escalating contest between an adult son's new girlfriend and his mother, retaining psychological acuity and sustained suspense. The Newsreader reaches its final season as a soapy, dramatic 1980s-set series focused on rival newsreaders. A three-part true-crime documentary follows a dogged investigation into a young equestrian's death and spotlights the epidemic of violence against women and the silencing, minimising and weaponising of abuse against victims. Freddie Flintoff's Field of Dreams returns with a Liverpool reboot aimed at lifting disadvantaged children through sport and now includes a girls' XI.
