Tara Reward joins us at this time 4 00:00:17,253 --> 00:00:20,253 Speaker 2: every week with her three top picks for shows to 5 00:00:20,293 --> 00:00:23,373 Speaker 2: watch or stream at home. She's with us this morning. 6 00:00:23,373 --> 00:00:25,853 Speaker 3: Hey Tara Jerda, good morning. 7 00:00:26,093 --> 00:00:28,213 Speaker 2: Let's begin with a show on TV and Z one 8 00:00:28,253 --> 00:00:31,093 Speaker 2: and TV and Z Plus from tomorrow, tell us about 9 00:00:31,213 --> 00:00:32,253 Speaker 2: I Fought the Law. 10 00:00:33,813 --> 00:00:36,173 Speaker 3: Yeah. This is a new British drama and it's one 11 00:00:36,213 --> 00:00:38,573 Speaker 3: of those shows that the British do so well. It's 12 00:00:38,613 --> 00:00:41,573 Speaker 3: a true story of the underdog taking on the system 13 00:00:41,693 --> 00:00:45,653 Speaker 3: and eventually winning the Stars Sheridan Smith and she plays 14 00:00:45,653 --> 00:00:48,373 Speaker 3: a woman called Ann Ing. Anne was a nurse and 15 00:00:48,453 --> 00:00:51,893 Speaker 3: a mother who took on the British legal system after 16 00:00:51,933 --> 00:00:54,173 Speaker 3: her twenty two year old daughter was murdered in nineteen 17 00:00:54,213 --> 00:00:58,093 Speaker 3: eighty nine, and she campaigned to overturn the double jeopardy rule, 18 00:00:58,093 --> 00:01:01,573 Speaker 3: which had existed for eight hundred years and it meant 19 00:01:01,573 --> 00:01:03,893 Speaker 3: that people couldn't be tried twice in court for the 20 00:01:03,933 --> 00:01:07,533 Speaker 3: same offense. So Anne's campaign and the success of her 21 00:01:07,573 --> 00:01:10,293 Speaker 3: campaign meant that the man who killed her daughter, who 22 00:01:10,373 --> 00:01:12,933 Speaker 3: was acquitted because of miss trials could be tried again 23 00:01:13,093 --> 00:01:16,933 Speaker 3: and found guilty and it took years, but justice was 24 00:01:16,973 --> 00:01:19,533 Speaker 3: done because Anne never gave up. And so it's a 25 00:01:19,613 --> 00:01:24,413 Speaker 3: really compelling, quite heartbreaking story. And Sheridan Smith has built 26 00:01:24,413 --> 00:01:26,933 Speaker 3: her career on portraying real life people who deal with 27 00:01:27,013 --> 00:01:29,933 Speaker 3: huge adversity. She was made for this role and she's 28 00:01:29,973 --> 00:01:33,573 Speaker 3: so good here as a grieving but very stubborn mother. 29 00:01:33,893 --> 00:01:37,093 Speaker 3: The series is based on a book that Anne wrote. 30 00:01:37,173 --> 00:01:38,733 Speaker 3: She was involved with the making of the show and 31 00:01:38,733 --> 00:01:42,293 Speaker 3: so it's quite true to her experience. And it's one 32 00:01:42,333 --> 00:01:45,213 Speaker 3: of those stories that will shock you and surprise you 33 00:01:45,333 --> 00:01:48,693 Speaker 3: and make you really mad. But at its heart, it's 34 00:01:48,733 --> 00:01:51,733 Speaker 3: about a human tragedy and it's about how far one 35 00:01:51,813 --> 00:01:54,693 Speaker 3: mother will go to justice. So yeah, you will need 36 00:01:54,733 --> 00:01:55,333 Speaker 3: the tissues for. 37 00:01:55,293 --> 00:01:58,093 Speaker 2: This one, right, Okay, sounds really compelling. So that's I thought. 38 00:01:58,133 --> 00:02:01,013 Speaker 2: The Lord that's on tvn Z one and TVNZ plus 39 00:02:01,093 --> 00:02:04,093 Speaker 2: streaming on Netflix tell Us about Wayward. 40 00:02:04,813 --> 00:02:09,133 Speaker 3: Yes is intriguing psychological thriller that's just started on Netflix 41 00:02:09,173 --> 00:02:12,293 Speaker 3: that's created by comedian May Martin and stars May Martin 42 00:02:12,413 --> 00:02:14,693 Speaker 3: and Tony Collette. And I mean, when I see Tony 43 00:02:14,733 --> 00:02:17,253 Speaker 3: Collette's name attached to something, you know, that it's going 44 00:02:17,293 --> 00:02:19,893 Speaker 3: to be good. This is set in two thousand and 45 00:02:19,893 --> 00:02:22,973 Speaker 3: three in a small town in Vermont where there is 46 00:02:23,013 --> 00:02:26,733 Speaker 3: a school for troubled teens called Toolpine's Academy, and the 47 00:02:26,773 --> 00:02:29,653 Speaker 3: teenagers there have been sent there by their desperate parents 48 00:02:29,693 --> 00:02:32,733 Speaker 3: and the school promises to sort their issues out and 49 00:02:33,133 --> 00:02:36,573 Speaker 3: turn them into valued members of society. And May Martin 50 00:02:36,613 --> 00:02:39,933 Speaker 3: plays a police officer who is new to town. They 51 00:02:39,973 --> 00:02:41,773 Speaker 3: bump into one of the students who is trying to 52 00:02:41,933 --> 00:02:46,053 Speaker 3: escape the academy and immediately become suspicious of what is 53 00:02:46,053 --> 00:02:49,133 Speaker 3: actually going on at the school behind closed doors. Tony 54 00:02:49,173 --> 00:02:51,013 Speaker 3: Collette is so great in this. She plays the leader 55 00:02:51,053 --> 00:02:54,093 Speaker 3: of the school. She's sort of like a cult leader figure. 56 00:02:54,133 --> 00:02:57,453 Speaker 3: She has this strange influence in town. She knows everybody. 57 00:02:57,693 --> 00:02:59,693 Speaker 3: There's a bit of a sinister edge to her, and 58 00:02:59,733 --> 00:03:01,693 Speaker 3: I think the show is going to get darker and 59 00:03:01,973 --> 00:03:03,933 Speaker 3: more creepier as it goes on. There's a bit of 60 00:03:03,973 --> 00:03:06,053 Speaker 3: a Twin Peaks vibe to this, which I really like, 61 00:03:06,613 --> 00:03:09,573 Speaker 3: you know, a bit of uneasy energy, quirky small town. 62 00:03:10,093 --> 00:03:13,053 Speaker 3: Nothing is as it seems. This is a show that's 63 00:03:13,053 --> 00:03:16,053 Speaker 3: going to keep surprising you and taking you in different directions. 64 00:03:16,173 --> 00:03:18,973 Speaker 2: Nice so that's streaming on Netflix. It's Wayward and your 65 00:03:19,053 --> 00:03:21,573 Speaker 2: third pick for us this week is also on Netflix. 66 00:03:21,893 --> 00:03:22,813 Speaker 2: House of Guinness. 67 00:03:23,933 --> 00:03:26,093 Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been waiting for this one for a while. 68 00:03:26,093 --> 00:03:28,733 Speaker 3: This is a historical drama about the Guinness family of 69 00:03:28,813 --> 00:03:31,853 Speaker 3: Dublin and it's created by Stephen Knight, who makes a 70 00:03:31,893 --> 00:03:35,013 Speaker 3: lot of historical dramas like Pecky Blinders and A Thousand Blows. 71 00:03:35,413 --> 00:03:37,533 Speaker 3: So if you like Pecky Blinders, I think you all 72 00:03:37,613 --> 00:03:39,293 Speaker 3: like this as well. It's got that same kind of 73 00:03:39,373 --> 00:03:42,933 Speaker 3: big energy, big style to it. It's got a soundtrack, 74 00:03:43,253 --> 00:03:46,293 Speaker 3: but it's quite gritty and dramatic and it's set in 75 00:03:46,293 --> 00:03:48,813 Speaker 3: the eighteen sixties and it's about the wealthy Guinness family, 76 00:03:48,853 --> 00:03:52,453 Speaker 3: who of course created the world famous beer. The patriarch, 77 00:03:52,533 --> 00:03:55,933 Speaker 3: Benjamin has just died and his four children are left 78 00:03:56,093 --> 00:03:58,733 Speaker 3: to fight over who will succeed him. None of them 79 00:03:58,733 --> 00:04:01,893 Speaker 3: are particularly capable, which means that a guy called Sean 80 00:04:01,973 --> 00:04:05,693 Speaker 3: Rafferty who's played by the always excellent James Norton. He 81 00:04:05,773 --> 00:04:08,813 Speaker 3: runs the g Factory. He sees the opportunity to step 82 00:04:08,893 --> 00:04:11,133 Speaker 3: up and take control. So there's a bit of a 83 00:04:11,173 --> 00:04:13,933 Speaker 3: succession feel to this. It's about power and money, and 84 00:04:14,853 --> 00:04:18,653 Speaker 3: dysfunctional family and how people can be manipulated and controlled, 85 00:04:19,013 --> 00:04:23,573 Speaker 3: and it plays out against this background of Irish political 86 00:04:23,733 --> 00:04:28,053 Speaker 3: and religious tension, and the show is inspired by real 87 00:04:28,093 --> 00:04:30,613 Speaker 3: events and real people. But I think I think Stephen 88 00:04:30,693 --> 00:04:33,453 Speaker 3: Night has used quite a bit of creative license here. 89 00:04:33,853 --> 00:04:35,933 Speaker 3: So I think if you go into this watching it 90 00:04:36,093 --> 00:04:40,173 Speaker 3: just as entertainment rather than a realistick portrayal of Irish history, 91 00:04:40,173 --> 00:04:41,053 Speaker 3: I think you'll enjoy it a lot. 92 00:04:41,173 --> 00:04:43,973 Speaker 2: Yeah. Okay, cool. So that's House of Guinness. That's on Netflix. 93 00:04:44,013 --> 00:04:45,373 Speaker 2: It sounds, like I was saying earlier, kind of like 94 00:04:45,453 --> 00:04:48,973 Speaker 2: a like a beer brewing succession. 95 00:04:50,453 --> 00:04:54,773 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you've got. 96 00:04:53,453 --> 00:04:57,573 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, okay, very good, thanks Tara. So 97 00:04:57,613 --> 00:05:00,653 Speaker 2: that's House of Guinness. It's on Netflix. Wayward is on 98 00:05:00,693 --> 00:05:04,053 Speaker 2: Netflix as well. That was Tara's second pick, and I 99 00:05:04,173 --> 00:05:06,133 Speaker 2: thought the Lawa is the one with Sharon and Smith. 100 00:05:06,413 --> 00:05:08,213 Speaker 2: It's on TV and Z one and TV and Z 101 00:05:08,453 --> 00:05:09,893 Speaker 2: Plus from tomorrow. 102 00:05:10,573 --> 00:05:13,653 Speaker 1: For more from Saturday Morning with Jack Tame, listen live 103 00:05:13,733 --> 00:05:16,573 Speaker 1: to News Talks ed B from nine am Saturday, or 104 00:05:16,653 --> 00:05:18,533 Speaker 1: follow the podcast on iHeartRadio.
