Okay, So that starts tomorrow on TVNZ 39 00:02:04,413 --> 00:02:08,453 Speaker 2: one and TVNZ Plus. It's called Death Valley. Next up 40 00:02:08,493 --> 00:02:11,373 Speaker 2: a show on three Now tell Us about I Jack. 41 00:02:11,493 --> 00:02:15,613 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, another British drama. This is a thriller made 42 00:02:15,613 --> 00:02:19,013 Speaker 3: by Chris Lang, who created the brilliant show Unforgotten, and 43 00:02:19,093 --> 00:02:22,853 Speaker 3: it's about the chaos that happens after a wealthy man 44 00:02:22,893 --> 00:02:27,013 Speaker 3: called Jack Wright dies. Jack's death initially looks like a suicide, 45 00:02:27,053 --> 00:02:30,413 Speaker 3: and it brings all his family together, his children, his 46 00:02:30,453 --> 00:02:34,413 Speaker 3: two wives, some loyal employees to his funeral and to 47 00:02:34,493 --> 00:02:37,453 Speaker 3: the reading of his will, and everyone there is anticipating 48 00:02:37,493 --> 00:02:40,893 Speaker 3: that they are about to inherit a huge fortune. But 49 00:02:41,133 --> 00:02:43,733 Speaker 3: the will reveals that Jack has left barely anything to 50 00:02:43,813 --> 00:02:46,893 Speaker 3: his family, and the autopsy shows that his death was 51 00:02:46,933 --> 00:02:49,773 Speaker 3: probably a murder. And so this feels a bit like 52 00:02:50,333 --> 00:02:53,653 Speaker 3: a cross between succession, with all the different family and 53 00:02:53,733 --> 00:02:57,893 Speaker 3: friends squabbling and vying for power and money and god 54 00:02:58,013 --> 00:03:00,773 Speaker 3: like an Agatha Christie sort of murder mystery, with lots 55 00:03:00,773 --> 00:03:03,973 Speaker 3: of connected characters who are all hiding something, who all 56 00:03:04,013 --> 00:03:08,413 Speaker 3: have secrets. There's lots of mysterious mysteries to be untangled here, 57 00:03:08,453 --> 00:03:10,973 Speaker 3: and it's done in quite a fun, over the top 58 00:03:10,973 --> 00:03:14,613 Speaker 3: way that pokes fun at people's greed and jealousy. What 59 00:03:14,693 --> 00:03:17,173 Speaker 3: I would say is that episode one is setting up 60 00:03:17,173 --> 00:03:18,853 Speaker 3: a lot of things, so just hanging there until the 61 00:03:18,973 --> 00:03:21,453 Speaker 3: end when the will is read, because that really kick 62 00:03:21,493 --> 00:03:25,133 Speaker 3: starts the conflict and the drama. But this is quite 63 00:03:25,133 --> 00:03:28,853 Speaker 3: a fun, juicy murder mystery about some very badly behaved 64 00:03:28,893 --> 00:03:31,613 Speaker 3: people who will do whatever it takes to get what 65 00:03:31,653 --> 00:03:31,973 Speaker 3: they want. 66 00:03:32,093 --> 00:03:35,093 Speaker 2: Nice.

This stars Clear 72 00:03:49,573 --> 00:03:53,013 Speaker 3: Danes and Matthew Reese, who both give amazing performances in this. 73 00:03:53,413 --> 00:03:57,373 Speaker 3: Claire Danes plays Aggie, who is a Pulleitzerprize award winning writer. 74 00:03:57,893 --> 00:04:00,693 Speaker 3: She's struggling to finish her next book after the death 75 00:04:00,733 --> 00:04:03,013 Speaker 3: of her young son in the breakup of her marriage, 76 00:04:03,133 --> 00:04:05,693 Speaker 3: and she lives alone in a very big house in 77 00:04:05,693 --> 00:04:08,613 Speaker 3: a wealthy name the hood on Long Island. Matthew Reese 78 00:04:08,653 --> 00:04:12,853 Speaker 3: plays her creeping new neighbor, Nile, who is also famous 79 00:04:13,773 --> 00:04:16,493 Speaker 3: or infamous for being the number one suspect in the 80 00:04:16,533 --> 00:04:19,933 Speaker 3: suspicious death of his wife a few years earlier, and 81 00:04:20,053 --> 00:04:23,333 Speaker 3: strange things start to happen once Nile moves in. That 82 00:04:23,413 --> 00:04:25,893 Speaker 3: makes Eggie want to find out whether he did kill 83 00:04:25,933 --> 00:04:28,173 Speaker 3: his wife or not, and so she decides to write 84 00:04:28,373 --> 00:04:31,333 Speaker 3: her next book about him instead. And so there's this 85 00:04:31,493 --> 00:04:33,893 Speaker 3: tense cat and mouse game between the two of them. 86 00:04:33,933 --> 00:04:36,773 Speaker 3: They both really need each other, and they both find 87 00:04:36,773 --> 00:04:40,253 Speaker 3: each other quite intriguing, but they're both also extremely suspicious. 88 00:04:40,893 --> 00:04:44,733 Speaker 3: And this is just one of Netflix's reliable, bingeable, tense 89 00:04:44,733 --> 00:04:47,733 Speaker 3: psychological thrillers.
