What new Sharon Horgan series should I watch this week?
Time now for the watch list of best TV and film recommendations for the week ahead. And I'm joined today by Business Post film critic John McGuire and writer and podcaster Esther O'Mur Donahue. Uh welcome guys. Esther Sharon Horgan has a new show called Youth, which is always good news, I think a new Sharon Horgan show.
Yeah, no, she is I I I started watching this yesterday I was kinda I was watching one episode, I'll watch one episode, get a feel of it, see what what I can tell the nation about this. And then three episodes in I'd pull myself away. It was so good. And you know Sharon Horgan, you're gonna she she's a great performer. She anything she produces uh through her production company, you know it's gonna be quality and it is. The performances are all evenly matched, it's genuinely funny. One of one of the first a few a few opening seconds you think What's the tone of this gonna be? Is it gonna be more sentimental, heart stringy, but then very quickly it turns into comedy. But it's really just paired back. The tone is really nice.
And it's a
middle aged woman dating.
Yeah, she's a book editor, she's a r she's recently divorced, she's c looking for love. Her son, who's played by Killian Murphy's son in real life, um, uh, is her is off to university, but he's kinda struggling there. Um she her her parents are older She's got an ex who's just a bit of a a live wire. There's a lot going on but it's yeah, so it's really enjoyable. Oh yeah, great. Yeah, so it's really enjoyable.
A dramedy, yeah. So really do you know we'd recommend it. Okay, that's you th and it star it starts tomorrow, I think, on HBO Max and people get that through Sky or Now TV. Okay. John, Brothers uh starts on Apple T V on Wednesday. This is Woody Harlton and Matthew McConaughey uh as brothers. Uh it's looks great from the trailer. Yeah,
it they're playing fictionalized versions of themselves, heightened versions of themselves. This isn't the Apple TV show, based on the internet rumor that the two of them might be brothers in real life. Apparently Harrelson's father met a new uh McConaughey's mother the year before McConaughey was born, and years indeed before he went to prison for being a hitman. And the plot has this heightened version of Harrelson as this permanently stoned surfer dude who through family circumstance goes to live on McConaughey's ranch in Texas for a while. They're initially warmly welcomed, but they soon become a bit of an inconvenience and there's friction between them. And it is
Matthew McConaughey, the movie star, and Woody Harless and the movie stars. The movie star, yeah. The movie star, yeah
And McConaughey is putting together a run to become governor of Texas while Harrelson is trying to deal with his family. The premise is clever, it's playing on their personas. And there are some good jokes here, but I honestly I gave up on it after a couple of episodes, whatever that tells you, Brandon.
All right, brothers starts on Apple T V on Wednesday. Um Esther, new season has strictly come dancing started last night. New hosts. Yes.
How
is that?
Three new hosts, Josh Willicom, his comedian presenter Emma Willis, and former strictly pro Johannes Redabe. It is so good. It was like the weather's getting a bit colder. Yeah, it was like they the the the opening sequence was like over four minutes long. It was like set in like it looked like it was a Hollywood backlot. I was just like, how much rehearsal did they have to do? The choreography, even the cameraman m or the camera person moving in and out, it was really good. Like and there it like it was really low stakes jeopardy. I mean, you first of all y you they didn't announce this year who's gonna be paired with what pro, that's a big thing of it. They were gonna do it on air. So they kinda had to it was like it was like uh musical chairs.
So they were dancing with Brent and then they were dancing over here with John and who and then it was like change of partners, change of partners so you're like, oh my god
You were there for all I was
like I can't leave the remote del Delta Goodrums paired with, you know, couldn't eat a biscuit.
