Les 7 meilleures émissions à regarder cette semaine sur le thème de l’enfer adolescent
Pick of the Week: The Castaways
Sheridan Smith and Céline Buckens star in this adaptation of Lucy Clarke’s 2020 mystery thriller, in which a young woman attempts to discover the truth behind the apparent plane crash that led to the disappearance of her sister while they were on holiday in Fiji.
Erin (Buckens) has an intriguingly unreliable – and often unsympathetic – perspective on events: she’s obsessive about conspiracy theories surrounding the crash and may or may not be suffering from survivor’s guilt. After an offer is made by the insurance company, she returns to Fiji to poke around in the affairs of her sister (Smith). Things soon get even murkier. A darkly plotted and sunnily staged piece of escapism. Paramount+, from Boxing Day
Money Heist: Berlin
A prequel of sorts to the adrenalised Spanish thriller Money Heist, in the shape of this origin story of Pedro Alonso’s charismatic, terminally ill jewel thief Berlin. This is a more carefree Berlin: at this point, he has no idea of his medical status and is planning heists for the sheer hell of it. Pertinently, he’s also surrounded by a completely different crew, which doesn’t bode well for their staying power. The gang have their beady eyes on a Paris auction house – but their colourful private lives could easily derail them first. It’s absurdly hammy and stylised, and somewhat ludicrous, but that’s a big part of its charm. Netflix, from Friday 29 December
Gyeongseong Creature
This series is a weird hybrid of period drama and creature feature, set in 1945 while the world is recovering from war and colonial rule. A hospital in the Korean district that would become Seoul was playing host to some nightmarish experiments. It’s a movie full of subterfuge and horror. Netflix, out now
My Mom, Your Dad US
A US version of this midlife dating show in which adult children volunteer their parents to be packed off to a resort to meet other midlife singletons. It’s kind of Love Island with grey hair and reduced expectations. It is pretty excruciating; it’s a shame no one has told these people that dating apps exist. But fans of real-life cringe will find much to enjoy. Actor and comic Yvonne Orji hosts. ITVX, out now
Ricky Gervais: Armageddon
Ricky Gervais brings his edgelord standup shtick out for another go round. This time, he’s offering his musings on the subject of death. In a sequence that Netflix has faced pressure to remove, he also has some unusually trenchant thoughts on the subject of the Make a Wish foundation for terminally ill children. Netflix, from Christmas Day
Hell Camp: Teen Nightmare
This startling documentary shows the story of a camp in the Utah desert that would “wear down” troubled teens and cure them of their incipient delinquency. As this documentary shows, the camp was eventually closed down after causing harm to some teens. Netflix, from Wednesday 27 December
Pokémon Concierge
A brightly colored and slightly trippy stop-motion animation series about Haru (voiced by The Boys’ Karen Fukuhara) who gets her dream job as the concierge at a hotel for Pokémon characters. Initially, she’s blissfully happy but the job turns out to be harder than it looks – This is sure to prove irresistible to fans of the franchise. Netflix, from Thursday 28 December
