Love, money, power and murder …
Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials Mystery | Netflix
This three-part series based on one of Christie’s earliest novels is set in Edwardian England, starring the brilliant Helena Bonham Carter (The Crown), Martin Freeman (Sherlock) and Mia McKenna-Bruce (Persuasion). As a practical joke appears to have gone horribly wrong at a lavish country house party, it’s up to the unlikeliest of sleuths to unravel a chilling murder plot. Well-scripted, fast-paced and stylish, this will undoubtedly be a standout role for McKenna-Bruce. THE GLOSS team rates it.
Heated Rivalry | NOW TV
Connor Storrie (Joker: Folie à Deux) and Hudson Williams (Tracker) have skyrocketed to stardom thanks to this unexpected hit show, even presenting an award at the Golden Globes … although most of the glossy audience didn’t seem to recognise them … yet! One of the most talked about shows among Gen Z, the seriously steamy six-part drama (adapted from book series Game Changers by Rachel Reid) follows two hockey players over eight years as they navigate a secret relationship. Their chemistry is off the charts, confirmed by a second and third season already in the works. Other ones to watch include François Arnaud (The Borgias), Christina Change (The Good Doctor) and Dylan Walsh (Unforgettable).
I Love LA | NOW TV
Rachel Sennott (The Idol, Ayo and Rachel Are Single) created and leads this comedy series taking social media by storm, alongside Odessa A’zion who also stars in award-winning film Marty Supreme. An ambitious friend group of stars, talent managers, stylists – and a Nepo baby for good measure – reunite after years apart. Like New York in And Just Like That and the OG Sex and the City, Los Angeles is also a main character as a city that can either make or break you. Being chronically online is a prevalent theme too! Also starring Leighton Meester (Nobody Wants This: Season 2), Josh Hutcherson (The Hunger Games), Jordan Firstman (English Teacher), Froy Gutierrez (Cruel Summer) and more.
