Raised by Wolves S1
The biggest TV series ever shot in South Africa, Raised by Wolves is an HBO sci-fi show which centres on two androids tasked with raising human children on virgin planet Kepler-22b after the Earth was destroyed in a great war. But their idyll is soon threatened.
Ridley Scott, who directed the sci-fi classics Alien, Blade Runner and The Martian, executive produces and directs the first two episodes.
NME says: “Ridley Scott’s AI stunner is on a different planet… one of 2020’s most unmissable TV experiences.”
Binge from 1 February, first on Showmax.

A guide to the festivals (probably) taking place in Ireland in 2021
19 min read With optimism and caution, festival organisers are gaming out the scenarios and readying their events for 2021. Things may change, but hopes are high for the return of live performance
Normally right now we’d preview 2021’s festivals and cultural events. But after a year like no other, and ever-shifting goalposts, it’s difficult to predict what’ll be possible at various points in 2021. The resilience and hope of organisers programming and scenario planning despite all this is impressive and heartening.
They’re taking varying approaches, some planning live events with optimism and caution, others blended events, others still holding back; all aware plans may change nearer the time.
John Mangru With his hyper-feminine designs, which bring silhouette and form to the fore, stylist John Mangru National College of Art and Design’s graduate class of 2020 is determined to rewrite the codes of modern dressing. Just take a look at the emerging designer’s Instagram account, where you’ll find a smorgasbord of visual goodies most notable are Mangru’s recognisable handmade corsets in a fizzy colour palette of fire-engine red, zingy neon green and candyfloss pink.
“I have always been obsessed with undergarments being worn on the outside,” the young designer says of his passion for classic silhouettes. “I love the way they’re tight to the body and I love creating shapes that may not be there normally. On a deeper level, I also love the idea that the corset was always seen as a symbol of oppression and I wanted to take it out of its original context by mixing new techniques and fabrics.”
