1
00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:10,493
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Team podcast

2
00:00:10,613 --> 00:00:11,693
Speaker 1: from Newstalk SEDB.

3
00:00:12,853 --> 00:00:15,973
Speaker 2: Coming up to ten thirty, which means it's screen time time.

4
00:00:16,733 --> 00:00:19,093
Speaker 2: Tara Award is here with the screen time picks first

5
00:00:19,093 --> 00:00:20,933
Speaker 2: week shows that you might want to watch your stream

6
00:00:20,973 --> 00:00:24,973
Speaker 2: in between all of the Paralympics coverage. Hey Tara, good morning. Okay,

7
00:00:25,213 --> 00:00:27,453
Speaker 2: three great shows to work through this morning. Let's begin

8
00:00:27,493 --> 00:00:29,653
Speaker 2: with the show streaming on Netflix, tell Us About Chaos.

9
00:00:30,213 --> 00:00:33,973
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is Netflix's new big prestige drama that dropped

10
00:00:33,973 --> 00:00:36,413
Speaker 3: this week. And this is a dark comedy and it's

11
00:00:36,413 --> 00:00:39,653
Speaker 3: a modern take on Greek mythology. So it's set in

12
00:00:39,733 --> 00:00:42,893
Speaker 3: a contemporary world where the Greek gods are real and

13
00:00:43,093 --> 00:00:45,733
Speaker 3: Zeus is played by Jeff Goldbloom, who is so God

14
00:00:45,773 --> 00:00:49,933
Speaker 3: in this. He plays the all powerful, quite awful Supreme

15
00:00:49,973 --> 00:00:52,413
Speaker 3: God and the show is about the downfall of the

16
00:00:52,413 --> 00:00:55,413
Speaker 3: gods and a mysterious prophecy that Zeus is worried will

17
00:00:55,733 --> 00:00:59,453
Speaker 3: will lead him to losing his powers and he becomes

18
00:00:59,493 --> 00:01:02,253
Speaker 3: increasingly paranoid as the show goes on. He is so

19
00:01:02,333 --> 00:01:04,973
Speaker 3: God in this, but he's surrounded by an amazing cast.

20
00:01:05,253 --> 00:01:08,613
Speaker 3: Cliff Curtis is an as well, he plays Poseidon. There's

21
00:01:08,653 --> 00:01:12,573
Speaker 3: also Billy Piper, Janet McTeer, Susie Eddie is a Debbie Maser.

22
00:01:12,733 --> 00:01:14,893
Speaker 3: It just goes on and on. The cart is fantastic

23
00:01:15,013 --> 00:01:18,093
Speaker 3: and the show itself is really clever and quirky. It's

24
00:01:18,133 --> 00:01:21,453
Speaker 3: taking those well known characters and stories and breathing new

25
00:01:21,493 --> 00:01:25,093
Speaker 3: life into them on the screen. It's a big energy here.

26
00:01:25,173 --> 00:01:28,213
Speaker 3: The humor is very tongue in cheek. It will probably

27
00:01:28,253 --> 00:01:30,373
Speaker 3: help if you know a little bit about Greek mythology.

28
00:01:30,373 --> 00:01:33,013
Speaker 3: There's lots of in jokes. But even if you don't,

29
00:01:33,053 --> 00:01:36,013
Speaker 3: I think the big energy of this and Jeff Goldbloom's

30
00:01:36,053 --> 00:01:39,333
Speaker 3: performance in particular, will keep you watching. It's intriguing and

31
00:01:39,413 --> 00:01:40,773
Speaker 3: something completely different.

32
00:01:40,853 --> 00:01:43,013
Speaker 2: Yeah it does sound different, Okay, sounds good. All right,

33
00:01:43,013 --> 00:01:45,733
Speaker 2: there's chaos. It's on Netflix, on TV and Z plus.

34
00:01:46,013 --> 00:01:47,053
Speaker 2: Sherwood is back.

35
00:01:47,613 --> 00:01:50,453
Speaker 3: Yeah, very happy to have a new season of Sherwood

36
00:01:50,493 --> 00:01:52,893
Speaker 3: back on TV and ZED. This is the award winning

37
00:01:52,973 --> 00:01:56,093
Speaker 3: BBC drama. The first season came out in twenty twenty

38
00:01:56,093 --> 00:01:59,453
Speaker 3: two and it's a series that mixes historical events in

39
00:01:59,493 --> 00:02:02,493
Speaker 3: the UK with a fictional murder mystery. So the first

40
00:02:02,533 --> 00:02:06,173
Speaker 3: season was about a murder in an x minding community,

41
00:02:07,053 --> 00:02:09,733
Speaker 3: a lot of resentment and tensions still lingered from the

42
00:02:10,133 --> 00:02:12,973
Speaker 3: minor strikes of the nineteen eighties. So it's a show

43
00:02:12,973 --> 00:02:16,413
Speaker 3: that feels very real. It's anchored in those real experiences

44
00:02:16,493 --> 00:02:19,613
Speaker 3: of working class people in Britain. And so even though

45
00:02:19,613 --> 00:02:21,973
Speaker 3: it's a crime drama, it's also a social drama and

46
00:02:22,013 --> 00:02:25,373
Speaker 3: a political drama as well. Season two starts on TVNZ

47
00:02:25,493 --> 00:02:28,653
Speaker 3: one tomorrow night, and it's about another murder in the

48
00:02:28,693 --> 00:02:31,733
Speaker 3: Nottingham community. A lot of the same characters return for

49
00:02:31,773 --> 00:02:34,173
Speaker 3: the second season, as well as some new families, and

50
00:02:34,213 --> 00:02:37,413
Speaker 3: again the cast is really impressive. David Morrissey Leslie manveld

51
00:02:37,453 --> 00:02:40,493
Speaker 3: that acting is just, you know, quality. This is up

52
00:02:40,493 --> 00:02:43,333
Speaker 3: there with Poor Church and Happy Valley. If you're a

53
00:02:43,333 --> 00:02:46,653
Speaker 3: fan of really rich, layered, thoughtful British dramas, this is

54
00:02:46,773 --> 00:02:48,333
Speaker 3: a must watch. I love this one.

55
00:02:48,413 --> 00:02:50,773
Speaker 2: Oh nice, Okay, that's sure. It's on TV and Z

56
00:02:50,893 --> 00:02:53,213
Speaker 2: Plus and also on TV and Z The twelve.

57
00:02:53,973 --> 00:02:56,533
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is the Australian drama The twelve. A new

58
00:02:56,573 --> 00:02:59,053
Speaker 3: season of this has just landed on TVNZ plus as well.

59
00:02:59,093 --> 00:03:01,293
Speaker 3: And the first thing I'll say about this is that

60
00:03:01,333 --> 00:03:03,573
Speaker 3: it stars Sam Neil and if Sam Neil is going

61
00:03:03,613 --> 00:03:05,653
Speaker 3: to be in something that's always assigned to me that

62
00:03:05,693 --> 00:03:07,773
Speaker 3: it's going to be good. And this is a courtroom

63
00:03:07,853 --> 00:03:10,893
Speaker 3: drama with a twist. It's about a murder trial, but

64
00:03:10,973 --> 00:03:13,453
Speaker 3: it focuses on the lives of the twelve members of

65
00:03:13,453 --> 00:03:16,653
Speaker 3: the jury and it explores how each of these jury

66
00:03:16,653 --> 00:03:19,453
Speaker 3: members bring their own secrets and baggage to the case

67
00:03:19,573 --> 00:03:23,373
Speaker 3: and how all those little details help them influence them

68
00:03:23,893 --> 00:03:26,453
Speaker 3: and come into a verdict. And the case in question

69
00:03:26,613 --> 00:03:29,333
Speaker 3: is a murder in small town Australia, in a community

70
00:03:29,373 --> 00:03:33,213
Speaker 3: where everyone knows the people allegedly involved in the crime,

71
00:03:33,373 --> 00:03:35,493
Speaker 3: which makes it challenging for the jury. And Sam Neill

72
00:03:35,613 --> 00:03:38,373
Speaker 3: is playing one of the lawyers defending the co accus

73
00:03:38,453 --> 00:03:40,853
Speaker 3: so there's lots of layers to this, which is why

74
00:03:40,893 --> 00:03:43,213
Speaker 3: I liked it. It has that small town Australian feel

75
00:03:43,253 --> 00:03:46,253
Speaker 3: to it mixed in with the tension of a courtroom drama,

76
00:03:46,613 --> 00:03:48,493
Speaker 3: and the audience is like a member of the jury.

77
00:03:48,573 --> 00:03:50,773
Speaker 3: We don't know if the accused are guilty or not,

78
00:03:50,853 --> 00:03:52,773
Speaker 3: so we're going to work it out as we go along.

79
00:03:52,813 --> 00:03:54,973
Speaker 3: As well. This is great too. Three great shows this week.

80
00:03:55,053 --> 00:03:57,533
Speaker 2: Jack Now, Yeah, oh very good. I love it. Thank

82
00:03:59,573 --> 00:04:01,733

Speaker 2: TV and S Plus so too is Sherewood. Season two
