1
00:00:07,173 --> 00:00:10,493
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Team podcast

2
00:00:10,613 --> 00:00:11,773
Speaker 1: from News Talks at b.

3
00:00:12,853 --> 00:00:15,533
Speaker 2: It is screen Time time. Our screen time expert Tara

4
00:00:15,653 --> 00:00:17,733
Speaker 2: Ward is here with her shows to recommend this morning.

5
00:00:17,773 --> 00:00:22,573
Speaker 2: Hey Tara, good morning. Let's kick off this morning with

6
00:00:23,053 --> 00:00:26,613
Speaker 2: a show streaming on Apple tv Plus starring Jake Jillen Hall.

7
00:00:27,053 --> 00:00:28,533
Speaker 2: Tell us about Presumed Innocent.

8
00:00:29,293 --> 00:00:32,773
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a crime drama that's made by David E.

9
00:00:32,853 --> 00:00:35,493
Speaker 3: Kelly and as you say, stars Jake Jillen Hall. And

10
00:00:35,653 --> 00:00:38,733
Speaker 3: it's a remake of the movie of the same name

11
00:00:38,773 --> 00:00:41,493
Speaker 3: that starred Harrison Ford back in the nineties. And Jake

12
00:00:41,533 --> 00:00:45,053
Speaker 3: Gillenhall plays a county prosecutor. He's a hot shot lawyer,

13
00:00:45,133 --> 00:00:47,773
Speaker 3: he's a family man, and then he's accused of the

14
00:00:47,853 --> 00:00:49,853
Speaker 3: murder of one of his colleagues, who it turns out

15
00:00:49,893 --> 00:00:52,453
Speaker 3: he was also having an affair with. And the question

16
00:00:52,533 --> 00:00:55,813
Speaker 3: here is he being set up by his enemies or

17
00:00:55,893 --> 00:00:58,693
Speaker 3: is he actually guilty? And has he framed another man

18
00:00:58,733 --> 00:01:01,733
Speaker 3: for a similar crime from years ago? And Jake Gillenhall's

19
00:01:01,773 --> 00:01:04,253
Speaker 3: character has to prove his innocent and we have to

20
00:01:04,333 --> 00:01:07,293
Speaker 3: decide whether we believe him or not. There's a really

21
00:01:07,293 --> 00:01:09,253
Speaker 3: good cast and this Peter sALS Guard Stars and this

22
00:01:09,333 --> 00:01:12,813
Speaker 3: as well. It's very glossy and polished, which you know

23
00:01:12,813 --> 00:01:15,733
Speaker 3: we've come to expect with Apple TV Plus shows. It

24
00:01:15,813 --> 00:01:18,253
Speaker 3: is quite a slow burn. There's eight episodes here, which

25
00:01:18,253 --> 00:01:20,933
Speaker 3: I think maybe might be just a little bit too long,

26
00:01:21,013 --> 00:01:23,093
Speaker 3: might have been a bit tighter as a movie. But

27
00:01:24,133 --> 00:01:26,133
Speaker 3: you know, it's doing what a lot of TV shows

28
00:01:26,133 --> 00:01:28,973
Speaker 3: are doing at the moment. It's it's fine, it's good TV.

29
00:01:29,173 --> 00:01:31,813
Speaker 3: It looks great, it ticks all the boxes, but it's

30
00:01:31,853 --> 00:01:35,933
Speaker 3: not particularly memorable or exciting. It's sort of sticking to

31
00:01:35,933 --> 00:01:38,813
Speaker 3: that tried and true courtroom drama kind of series, you know,

32
00:01:38,853 --> 00:01:40,213
Speaker 3: but still a good, solid watch.

33
00:01:40,293 --> 00:01:40,453
Speaker 1: Yeah.

34
00:01:40,573 --> 00:01:44,053
Speaker 2: Nice, Okay, so that's presumed innocent. On Apple TV Plus,

35
00:01:44,293 --> 00:01:46,573
Speaker 2: tell us about Elsbeth and.

36
00:01:46,573 --> 00:01:49,813
Speaker 3: This is a new American drama that's coming to TVNZ

37
00:01:49,933 --> 00:01:52,893
Speaker 3: one and TVNZ plus this week. It's another crime drama,

38
00:01:52,933 --> 00:01:56,853
Speaker 3: but quite different in tone. This is quite light and colorful.

39
00:01:57,253 --> 00:02:00,293
Speaker 3: It's about a woman named Elsbeth, who was originally a

40
00:02:00,373 --> 00:02:03,293
Speaker 3: character on two very successful shows called The Good Wife

41
00:02:03,373 --> 00:02:06,133
Speaker 3: and The Good Fight, both legal dramas, and she was

42
00:02:06,133 --> 00:02:09,013
Speaker 3: sort of of a fan favorite. And now they've given

43
00:02:09,053 --> 00:02:13,533
Speaker 3: her her own spin off. Series, and Elsabeth is this quirky, cooky,

44
00:02:13,733 --> 00:02:17,333
Speaker 3: unconventional kind of lawyer with a razor sharp mind. She

45
00:02:17,493 --> 00:02:20,293
Speaker 3: works in police surveillance, so she turns up to crime

46
00:02:20,373 --> 00:02:22,933
Speaker 3: scenes to make sure that the police are following the rules.

47
00:02:22,973 --> 00:02:26,333
Speaker 3: And she's supposed to be an impartial observer, but she

48
00:02:26,413 --> 00:02:30,133
Speaker 3: can't help herself from putting her two cents and solving

49
00:02:30,133 --> 00:02:33,173
Speaker 3: the crimes. And every episode of this series is a

50
00:02:33,173 --> 00:02:35,213
Speaker 3: different crime. So it's one of those murder of the

51
00:02:35,253 --> 00:02:37,973
Speaker 3: week kind of shows. Everything is tied up nice and

52
00:02:38,013 --> 00:02:41,213
Speaker 3: neatly after an hour, and it's a murder mystery that

53
00:02:41,293 --> 00:02:44,533
Speaker 3: leans more onto the comedic side of things rather than

54
00:02:44,573 --> 00:02:46,573
Speaker 3: a drama. So you don't need to have seen the

55
00:02:46,613 --> 00:02:48,933
Speaker 3: good fight or the good wife for this to make sense.

56
00:02:49,013 --> 00:02:51,493
Speaker 3: And I think if you like shows like My Life

57
00:02:51,533 --> 00:02:53,573
Speaker 3: Is Murder or Monk, then this is in that same

58
00:02:53,653 --> 00:02:56,053
Speaker 3: kind of style. You know, it's light, easy to watch,

59
00:02:56,893 --> 00:02:58,213
Speaker 3: warm and add a bit of fun.

60
00:02:58,293 --> 00:03:01,773
Speaker 2: Cool okay, And on Prime Video The Outlaws.

61
00:03:02,693 --> 00:03:05,493
Speaker 3: Yeah, third season of this BBC series has just dropped

62
00:03:05,493 --> 00:03:08,813
Speaker 3: on Prime And this is a great British comedy series

63
00:03:08,853 --> 00:03:10,973
Speaker 3: that I think has flown under the radar. But here

64
00:03:11,253 --> 00:03:14,373
Speaker 3: it's created by and stars Stephen Merchant, and it's about

65
00:03:14,373 --> 00:03:18,013
Speaker 3: seven strangers from very different backgrounds who end up on

66
00:03:18,053 --> 00:03:21,893
Speaker 3: the same community service team in Bristol. So the very

67
00:03:21,893 --> 00:03:24,853
Speaker 3: different people brought together to do some community work to

68
00:03:24,853 --> 00:03:28,053
Speaker 3: pay for their low level crimes. And they are tiding

69
00:03:28,133 --> 00:03:31,093
Speaker 3: up a local hall where they discover a bag full

70
00:03:31,133 --> 00:03:34,053
Speaker 3: of cash and the ceiling and find themselves tangled up

71
00:03:34,093 --> 00:03:36,613
Speaker 3: in this drug deal that's going on. They have to

72
00:03:36,653 --> 00:03:39,693
Speaker 3: decide as a group whether they'll go straight and live

73
00:03:39,733 --> 00:03:42,293
Speaker 3: honest lives or whether they'll use that money to their

74
00:03:42,333 --> 00:03:45,533
Speaker 3: advantage to kind of kickstart the lives that they've always wanted.

75
00:03:46,213 --> 00:03:48,013
Speaker 3: This comes with such a great cast as well as

76
00:03:48,013 --> 00:03:53,573
Speaker 3: Stephen Merchant, there's Christopher Walkendle, Tomlinson, Jessica Gunning, Jessica Gunning

77
00:03:53,613 --> 00:03:57,053
Speaker 3: Sorry from Baby Reindeer. And it kind of bounces between

78
00:03:57,093 --> 00:03:58,733
Speaker 3: being a comedy and a thriller, but it's got a

79
00:03:58,733 --> 00:03:59,533
Speaker 3: lot of heart as well.

80
00:03:59,653 --> 00:04:02,493
Speaker 2: Yeah cool, Okay, that sounds great too, So that's the Outlaws.

81
00:04:02,533 --> 00:04:05,653
Speaker 2: I love Stephen Merchant, It's just so great. He's fantastic,

82
00:04:05,693 --> 00:04:08,253
Speaker 2: isn't he felt like he was kind of the underrated

83
00:04:08,293 --> 00:04:10,133
Speaker 2: genius behind your vas don't you think?

84
00:04:10,413 --> 00:04:12,013
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think you might be right, and he's sort

85
00:04:12,013 --> 00:04:13,973
Speaker 3: of got on to do lots of other things. Yeah,

86
00:04:14,013 --> 00:04:14,933

89
00:04:19,173 --> 00:04:21,733

90
00:04:21,853 --> 00:04:25,213
Speaker 2: is so wetty, like he's he's funny in a way
