Bridesmaids

RTÉ2, 9.30pm

When 30-something slacker Annie Walker’s best friend Lillian asks her to be maid of honour, she soon discovers that not all the other bridesmaids are thrilled about her position of seniority. Hilarious slapstick comedy, with Kristen Wiig, Rose Byrne, Maya Rudolph, Melissa McCarthy.

The Kardashians

Disney+, streaming now

Three seasons into their alleged retirement sees the cameras return (like they ever left). All the Ks invite viewers back as they (continuously) navigate motherhood, co-parenting, and building their empires.

FUBAR

Netflix, streaming now

Arnie stars as an “elderly CIA Operative who discovers a family secret”, so this is destined to be either surprisingly good, or entirely pants. Fortune Feimster excels in the light relief department.

The Clearing

Disney+, streaming now

This eight-part psychological thriller, based on the best-selling crime thriller by author JP Pomare, is inspired by the darkness of real-life cults in Australia and around the world. The series follows a woman who’s forced to face the demons from her past in order to stop the kidnapping and coercion of innocent kids.

Platonic

AppleTV+, streaming now

See Rose Byrne embrace an Aussie-Californian accent as she co-stars alongside Seth Rogan in this odd couple comedy. Recently divorced, one wants to party, while the other is still trying to juggle impromptu bouts of ketamine intake in tandem with family life.

The Ultimatum: Queer Love

Netflix, streaming now

The Ultimatum universe is expanding to feature five new couples. Made up of women and non-binary people, each couple is at a crossroads in their relationship. The usual “piddle or get off the pot” ultimatum is issued, with 10 episodes released over three weeks.

MerPeople

Netflix, streaming now

Dive headlong into the fascinating world of underwater performers who have turned their love for mystical underwater creatures into real-world careers. From small-town shows in Florida, obviously, to coronations in the Bahamas, this series takes viewers on a journey of passion, perseverance, and huge lung capacity.

Victim/Suspect

Netflix, streaming now

Travelling around the US on her first solo investigation, Rae de Leon uncovered an unnerving pattern. In short, young women are telling the police they’ve been sexually assaulted, but instead of finding justice, they’re charged with the crime of making a false report. Some are even arrested, and imprisoned by the system they believed would protect them. Margaret Atwood didn’t lick it off a stone.

Selling Sunset

Netflix, streaming now

Luxe real estate and major drama. That said, we’re largely here for one reason — Chelsea Lazkani. Joining the Selling Sunset cast last season, British-Nigerian Lazkani brought some much-needed fresh air alongside a no-BS attitude. Returning for season six, she’ll totter around the Hollywood Hills viewing the ‘boujeeist’ abodes alongside the rest of LA’s top female real estate brokers at The Oppenheim Group. Melding property porn, impossible body standards, and a gaggle of young professionals who’ll do anything for that commission, these ladies work the market while trying to keep their personal lives intact. This season, new agents mean (more) drama. Expect sleek penthouse listings, personality clashes, and pregnancies, plus enough shade to cover every cabana on Sunset Strip. There’s only one thing that outweighs lust for property, and that’s a seemingly insatiable desire for panto.

White Men Can’t Jump

Disney+, streaming now

Nope, you haven’t been catapulted back in time; it’s just another 1990s reboot. Released 30 years after the original, this is being touted as “a modern remix of the iconic classic”.
