Dropping on NETFLIX



Our Souls At Night
Jane Fonda and Robert Redford finally reunite on screen for this adaptation of Kent Haruf’s Colorado-set novel about finding love in later life. Despite having lived next to each other for years, Addie Moore (Fonda) and Louis Waters (Redford), both widowed, only get to know each other after Addie pays an unexpected visit on her neighbour. Then they set about making the most of the time they have left.

The Good Place
Starring Kristen Bell and Ted Danson, this new sitcom set in the afterlife has already garnered much praise in the US where the first season has already aired on NBC. When Eleanor Shellstrop (Bell) wakes up after being rundown and killed by a lorry carrying erectile dysfunction products, she realises there must have been a mistake: she definitely isn’t deserving of her place in the “good” area of the afterlife. But now she’s had a taste of it, she doesn’t want to leave…

From September 21.

Jack Whitehall: Travels With My Father
Following their chat show, Backchat, which ended in 2015, Jack Whitehall and his dad Michael have reprised their double act to film a father-son road trip. In an attempt to ‘strengthen their bond’, and for Jack to experience the gap year he never had, the younger Whitehall takes his unadventurous father to far flung locations, with inevitably hilarious consequences.

From September 22.





American Vandal
You may have seen the trailer for American Vandal and thought: is this for real? Has Netflix really made an eight-part series about a community trying to get to the bottom of who is responsible for spraying phallic graffiti all over the local high school? In short, the answer is: yes. But Netflix hasn't completely lost the plot: this show has, of course, got its tongue firmly in its cheek and is a brilliant send-up of all the other whodunnit documentaries to have ever graced the streaming service. Maybe we’re just childish, but it looks pretty funny, too.

From September 15.

Four Hot Trends At Paris Fashion Week

The fashion train choo-chooed to Paris, and the fashion week in the city of love is reaching its climax. Here are some of the things that are causing a stir on the catwalks: Vive le close cut!

For the last two years the catwalks have been awash with sulking teenagers hiding in their hoodies, huge trailing trousers and enormous coats inside of which you could shelter a small family and their fridge. But with the look now filtering down to the high streets, fashion is off again in another direction. Paris Fashion Week has been remarkable for how the Spring/Summer collections are bringing clothes back to the body, with a much closer cut to shake off the studied sha...

The Return Of Carpenter Jeans

Ok, they might not be the most flattering trousers to be resurrected from the Nineties fashion hall of fame, but carpenter jeans (once beloved by buzzing teens in techno fields around the M25 orbital) are back, and this time they're glam. The twinset cardigan has replaced the baggy T-shirt for spring/summer 2018, and it's punked-out heels (rather than Buffalo boots) that are inspiring now. From Balenciaga to Valentino and Stella McCartney, the workaday staple has gone uptown - here's how to wear them now.
