The Investigation Of Lucy Letby

Find it in Apps > Netflix from Wednesday 4 February

In 2023, former neonatal nurse Lucy Letby was convicted of murdering infants while working at the Countess of Chester Hospital and imprisoned with a whole life order. More than two years on from the trial, this documentary gives audiences unprecedented insight into the chilling crime that appalled a nation. It includes never-before-seen footage from Letby’s arrest and interviews from those closest to the case, from police officers to the mother of one of Letby’s victims.

The Lincoln Lawyer

Find season 4 in Apps > Netflix from Thursday 5 February. Seasons 1-3 available now

Screenwriter David E Kelley knows a thing or two about legal dramas: not only is he a former attorney, he created the hits Ally McBeal, Goliath and The Practice (plus its spin-off Boston Legal). Now his Netflix show The Lincoln Lawyer, which began in 2022, has proved to be another screen success, and we can’t wait to catch up with titular attorney Micky Hall (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) in the new fourth season. After a shocking turn of events last season that saw Micky framed for a murder he didn’t commit, he finds himself in need of a lawyer of his own and fast. Eek.

Cash Queens

Watch Cash Queens on Netflix.

Find season 1 in Apps > Netflix from Thursday 5 February

When we meet the five women at the heart of this French comedy, they seem to be an ordinary group of friends. But the truth is much darker: they found themselves needing to get out of a sticky situation and managed to pull off the heist of the century. How? By disguising themselves as men. Genius… and the politicians, police and gangsters that are on their tails would certainly agree, given they have no idea that the culprits they’re searching for are an all-female gang. Talk about girl power.

Queen Of Chess

Find it in Apps > Netflix from Friday 6 February

If you loved The Queen’s Gambit then don’t miss this documentary about a real-life chess prodigy. From award-winning film-maker Rory Kennedy (niece of President John F Kennedy) comes this portrait of Judit Polgár, who’s widely regarded as the strongest female chess player of all time. As a child, Polgár set herself an almost impossible challenge: to become the best chess player of her generation. The result? By 12 she became the number one female player in the world; at 15, she beat Bobby Fischer’s record as the youngest grandmaster of all time. A remarkable true story.

Matter Of Time

Watch Matter Of Time on Netflix.

Find it in Apps > Netflix from Monday 9 February

Many know Eddie Vedder as the frontman of 90s grunge juggernaut Pearl Jam. But there’s a different side to this veteran rock star. Matter Of Time is a compelling film that details Vedder and his wife’s long-standing commitment to find a cure for Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), including founding the EB Research Partnership, dedicated to funding research and helping those affected by this life-threatening disease. A touching tale about the power of community that wouldn’t be complete without a stirring performance from Vedder.

Lead Children

Find season 1 in Apps > Netflix from Wednesday 11 February

The shocking events affecting the children of the European region of Silesia throughout the 1970s have remained largely undocumented in mainstream media. Now, Polish film-maker Maciej Pieprzyca brings this story to our screens in a historical drama series based on the real-life story of Doctor Jolanta Wadowska-Król. When a young pediatrician (Joanna Kulig) realises that the mysterious illness affecting the town’s children is lead poisoning caused by a nearby smelting plant, she risks everything to stand against the authorities and their attempts to cover up the scandal.

The eight-parter follows the misadventures of three tight-knit best friends, who return to their hometown following the death of the estranged fourth member of their childhood gang. However, when a set of eerie events unfold at the wake, the group head off on an odyssey around Ireland to uncover the truth about their shared past.

Madea Simmons is the familiar scene-stealer in Tyler Perry’s cinematic universe but in this hilarious coming-of-age comedy, it’s the matriarch’s foul-mouthed brother who’s calling the shots. When the Simmonses’ sheltered grandson BJ (Jermaine Harris, Madea’s Destination Wedding) heads off for college, his grandfather Joe (Perry) accompanies him on the cross-country road trip to show him the ropes of life. What could possibly go wrong?!

The noughties marked the golden era of reality television and at its centre sat iconic competition series America’s Next Top Model. The show strutted onto screens in 2003 and quickly exploded into a pop culture phenomenon, running for 24 cycles and attracting more than 100 million viewers worldwide at its peak as well as its fair share of controversies for outlandish stunt shoots and compulsory cosmetic transformations. Now, almost a decade on from its final episode, this eye-opening docuseries reveals the truth behind the smizing as former contestants, ANTM insiders including former judges Jay Manuel, Nigel Barker and J Alexander (aka Miss J), and the show’s supermodel host Tyra Banks talk frankly about one of reality TV’s most influential shows.

Being Gordon Ramsay

Find season 1 in Apps > Netflix from Wednesday 18 February

We’ve seen plenty of Gordon Ramsay the fiery-tempered chef and restaurateur in confrontational shows like Hell’s Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares. But his new series lifts the lid the man behind the furious swearing. Filmed across a six-month period, the docuseries follows Ramsay as he embarks on his biggest business venture yet opening five culinary experiences at 22 Bishopgate in the City of London while also reflecting on his childhood, career beginnings, history and family life. A must-watch for any Gordon fan.

Gabriel Basso steps back into the shoes of Peter Sutherland as one of TV’s most explosive thrillers returns. In the third instalment of the series based on Matthew Quirk’s novel, Sutherland embarks on a dangerous, continent-spanning mission to track down a young Treasury agent who has fled to Istanbul with sensitive government information. Of course, things are never straightforward for this under-pressure FBI agent and soon enough he becomes entangled in a dangerous conspiracy at the heart of the White House. Gripping stuff.
