BEHIND HER EYES (NETFLIX) Doctor Foster,
The Deceived, then it’s likely you’ll fall for Netflix’s latest offering. Based on the 2017 novel of the same name by Sarah Pinborough, this six-part story is very much a psychological drama filled with twists, turns and plenty of tumult. Screenwriter Steve Lightfoot brings the same sense of character-driven tension building with a hint of dreamlike surreality to
Eyes that made his TV adaptation of Thomas Harris’ Hannibal Lecter such a hypnotic hit.
DEFENDING THE GUILTY (TVNZ ONDEMAND) Katherine Parkinson headlines this six-part BBC comedy about a senior barrister mentoring a newly qualified one. Based on the 2010 best-selling memoir by Alex McBride, it focuses on “the silliness and absurdities of the criminal law”.

‘Snabba Cash,’ premiering on Netflix Thursday, exposes the criminal underside of the Swedish jet set
The title means ‘easy money,’ but apparently everything in that country has to rhyme with ‘Abba’
Premieres Wednesday:
Dolly Parton: A Musicares Tribute There s a list of people you just can t criticize these days. Like Betty White. (Yeah, I get it.) And Paul Rudd. (Took me awhile, but I came around.) And Keanu Reeves. (Seriously? Did no one see
Bram Stoker s Dracula?) In the No. 1 slot is Dolly Parton, whose contributions to music and philanthropy were the focus of a 2019 event that included performances by the likes of Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus and the big Jolene-hater herself. Now you can take a gander at that spectacle from the comfort of your own sofa, smiling at the down-home righteousness of it all while thinking, She got us the vaccine! Just don t pay any attention to those scurrilous rumors that she once turned the Civil War into a dinner show or something

Let me say at the outset: I love art. I think we should take care of it. Don’t steal art, please.
But I must confess I also love art heists. They take two elements that seem diametrically opposed fancy museums and gritty criminal underworlds and slam them into each other. I love the idea of guys in Hamburglar costumes (yes I know they don’t wear Hamburglar costumes) running around with Rembrandts rolled under their arms, narrowly escaping, I don’t know, the Keystone Kops. Or sleek, sophisticated movie stars in black turtlenecks swiping beautiful statues and hiding them, smiling wryly when the TV news broadcaster announces there’s been a robbery.
