It stars Kate Blanchett and 10 00:00:31,973 --> 00:00:36,493 Speaker 1: is directed by Alphonso Quiron, who has won numerous Academy Awards. 11 00:00:36,533 --> 00:00:39,173 Speaker 1: He made film like Gravity and Harry Potter, so there's 12 00:00:39,173 --> 00:00:41,973 Speaker 1: some really big names attached to this show. And Kate 13 00:00:41,973 --> 00:00:45,733 Speaker 1: Blanchett plays a famous documentary maker who one day receives 14 00:00:45,773 --> 00:00:48,333 Speaker 1: a book in the mail and she discovers, to her 15 00:00:48,373 --> 00:00:51,173 Speaker 1: horror that the book tells the story of her life. 16 00:00:51,173 --> 00:00:54,533 Speaker 1: It contains every secret she has, secrets she's been hiding 17 00:00:54,533 --> 00:00:58,093 Speaker 1: for years, and secrets she obviously doesn't want anyone else 18 00:00:58,093 --> 00:00:58,653 Speaker 1: to know about. 19 00:00:59,093 --> 00:01:00,453 Speaker 3: And Kevin Klein is in this too. 20 00:01:00,493 --> 00:01:04,053 Speaker 1: He plays an elderly widower who discovers the manuscript of 21 00:01:04,093 --> 00:01:07,173 Speaker 1: the book, which was written by his wife. He publishes 22 00:01:07,213 --> 00:01:10,093 Speaker 1: it in an act of revenge sort of deliberately trying 23 00:01:10,133 --> 00:01:13,373 Speaker 1: to take down Kate Blinchet's character, and the lives of 24 00:01:13,413 --> 00:01:15,653 Speaker 1: these two people are going to cross again, just like they. 25 00:01:15,533 --> 00:01:17,893 Speaker 3: Did twenty years ago when the secret occurred. 26 00:01:18,293 --> 00:01:21,213 Speaker 1: Now, Kate Blinchett is amazing in this, as you would expect, 27 00:01:21,253 --> 00:01:23,173 Speaker 1: and I think if she wasn't in this, this would 28 00:01:23,213 --> 00:01:26,373 Speaker 1: feel a little bit more soapy and melodramatic. But she 29 00:01:26,453 --> 00:01:29,933 Speaker 1: really elevates it. And because it's an Apple TV Plus show, 30 00:01:29,973 --> 00:01:32,813 Speaker 1: it looks amazing. It's very glossy. It's filmed inside these 31 00:01:32,853 --> 00:01:35,693 Speaker 1: beautiful London homes. A lot of it is shot in 32 00:01:35,813 --> 00:01:39,413 Speaker 1: Venice and Italy as well, so visually it's gorgeous. I 33 00:01:39,453 --> 00:01:42,133 Speaker 1: don't know if it will be tense enough to sustain 34 00:01:42,333 --> 00:01:44,973 Speaker 1: seven episodes. It's not the most subtle of shows, at 35 00:01:45,053 --> 00:01:47,253 Speaker 1: least in the first episode, but I liked where it 36 00:01:47,293 --> 00:01:50,013 Speaker 1: started and I'm really keen to see where it goes cool. 37 00:01:50,133 --> 00:01:53,573 Speaker 2: Okay, that's disclaimer. It's on Apple TV Plus on Neon. 38 00:01:53,893 --> 00:01:54,933 Speaker 2: You've seen Sweet Pea. 39 00:01:55,573 --> 00:01:58,573 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a very dark, quirky new comedy series 40 00:01:58,613 --> 00:02:02,373 Speaker 1: that's made by the producers of Heart Stopper and Slow Horses. 41 00:02:02,413 --> 00:02:04,013 Speaker 3: So we're already off to a good start. 42 00:02:04,373 --> 00:02:06,973 Speaker 1: But it's a British comedy about a young woman in 43 00:02:07,013 --> 00:02:11,733 Speaker 1: her twenties named Rhannon and Rhiannon is invisible. Nobody notices 44 00:02:11,813 --> 00:02:14,813 Speaker 1: rhann And at work, or in her family, or in society. 45 00:02:14,933 --> 00:02:18,213 Speaker 1: She's a very meek and mild kind of person and 46 00:02:18,293 --> 00:02:21,013 Speaker 1: when her father dies, has last words to her are 47 00:02:21,053 --> 00:02:23,893 Speaker 1: to stand up for herself to be noticed, and his 48 00:02:24,093 --> 00:02:25,973 Speaker 1: death sets Rhanna and on a new path. 49 00:02:26,013 --> 00:02:31,013 Speaker 3: It causes her to kind of unleash twenty years of repressed. 50 00:02:30,693 --> 00:02:34,573 Speaker 1: Rage and anger and she becomes this very unlikely serial killer. 51 00:02:34,853 --> 00:02:37,253 Speaker 1: She has had enough, and she has a long list 52 00:02:37,293 --> 00:02:40,133 Speaker 1: of people who have done her wrong, and because she's 53 00:02:40,173 --> 00:02:41,693 Speaker 1: overlooked and ignored. 54 00:02:41,333 --> 00:02:43,893 Speaker 3: By everyone, it means she manages to keep getting away 55 00:02:43,933 --> 00:02:44,453 Speaker 3: with murder. 56 00:02:45,453 --> 00:02:48,013 Speaker 1: If you like your comedy really dark and a bit bleak, 57 00:02:48,093 --> 00:02:50,853 Speaker 1: but still very sharp and funny and quirky, you will 58 00:02:50,893 --> 00:02:53,853 Speaker 1: love this. It reminded me a bit of Dexter or 59 00:02:53,933 --> 00:02:56,733 Speaker 1: Killing Eve. It is a little bit violent, but I 60 00:02:56,813 --> 00:02:59,613 Speaker 1: think because it's a British comedy, it's got that sort 61 00:02:59,653 --> 00:03:02,133 Speaker 1: of self deprecating quality to it, and it doesn't take 62 00:03:02,133 --> 00:03:04,853 Speaker 1: itself too seriously, which kind of balances out all the 63 00:03:04,933 --> 00:03:08,773 Speaker 1: dark stuff. This a coming of rage story, so you 64 00:03:08,813 --> 00:03:10,453 Speaker 1: know it's dark, but it's also a lot of fun. 65 00:03:10,533 --> 00:03:13,613 Speaker 2: Yeah nice, Okay, that's sweet pea on neon and can't 66 00:03:13,613 --> 00:03:15,573 Speaker 2: wait for this the new series of The Restaurant That 67 00:03:15,653 --> 00:03:16,453 Speaker 2: Makes Mistakes. 68 00:03:17,133 --> 00:03:19,253 Speaker 1: Yes, this is a new season of the show that 69 00:03:19,333 --> 00:03:23,013 Speaker 1: started on TVNZ plus a tv Z last year.
