Exclusive: TikTok stars Adam Rose and Leah Kirkup are set to co-star opposite Outlander and A Place To Call Home actor David Berry in Gary Sinyor’s R-rated comedy Perfect Wedding Days, which has been retitled from the originally announced Something Blue.

Kirkup will play the bride in the wedding-themed comedy opposite previously announced Berry as the groom, with Rose taking the third co-starring role of the best man, who also has feelings for his friend’s wife-to-be.

With the groom getting married for the second time as the bride is embarking on wedded life for the first time, the couple have opted for an informal ceremony on the beach, with a few close friends and no religious elements.

UK writer, producer and director Sinyor is coming off the success of Peacock-acquired comedy show Hapless, about a gaffe-prone investigative journalist working for a Jewish newspaper, having previously made waves internationally...

The psychological horror By the Throat is gearing up for its world premiere at Pigeon Shrine FrightFest Glasgow on 7th March 2025, bringing an unsettling tale of grief, manipulation, and dark forces to audiences. Directed by David Luke Rees, the film features Sex Education’s Patricia Allison in a role that sees her entangled in a terrifying scheme, alongside Jeany Spark (Rings of Power), Rupert Young (Bridgerton), and Matthew Cottle (The Responder).

At its core, By the Throat is a horror-thriller built on psychological tension rather than overt spectacle. The film follows Lizzy (Allison), a young woman hired to care for Amy Cummings (Spark), a grieving mother struggling after the tragic death of her daughter. Left alone in a secluded countryside home while her husband Alex (Young) is away, Amy’s grief has spiralled into something far more dangerous. Lizzy soon realises she has stepped into an environment where reality is slipping,...

Tara Fitzgerald loved the “poeticism” of 'Portraits of Dangerous Women' director Pascal Bargamin.The 57-year-old actress plays Tina in the Swiss filmmaker’s comedy drama film about three women - school caretaker Tina, unhappy teacher Steph (Jeany Spark) and smart teenager Ashley (Yasmin Monet Prince) - who are thrown together when two of them both run over a dog in their separate cars and she admitted the helmsman’s passion and connection with his cast was one of the reasons why she said yes to the project.She exclusively told Bang Showbiz: “He’s very passionate. Super smart. He has a sort of poeticism and sort of understands artists. “I think that’s a very big draw about the film - it talks about artists. I think it’s a very important part of my life. And he has that sensitivity. “But he’s also really good at...

Portraits of Dangerous Women transports viewers to a strange narrative realm that questions established storytelling conventions. The film, directed by Swiss filmmaker Pascal Bergamin, revolves around an unpleasant road event involving a dog that brings together three women: an unhappy teacher, a strange caretaker, and a troubled artist. This arrangement feels fanciful and perplexing, reminiscent of Jean-Luc Godard’s humorous narrative technique.

Bergamin balances between hilarity and poignant moments, reflecting contemporary cultural fears about connection and authenticity. The cinematography captures the grandeur of rural Britain, while the editing incorporates jarring shifts that mirror the characters’ shattered lives. This unique design highlights the themes of disconnection and unexpected friendship in the film.

Finally, Portraits of Dangerous Women bridges the gap between indie and mainstream cinema, providing a new viewpoint on how we relate to one another in an unpredictable world. It is a reminder of the film’s ability to mirror societal complexities,...

No animals were harmed at all in the making of this film, or even used.

Three unlikely women are pitched together by a muddled plot with results that are short on both drama and comedy

This bafflingly peculiar and lifeless dramedy comes from Swiss film-maker Pascal Bergamin, who is based in Zurich and London and has released some English-language work in the past. This film has a rural British setting with British characters played by British actors, but it has the feel of something Google-translated from another project, perhaps with a European setting; there is a repeated and weirdly emphatic reference to two art dealers from the German town of Cottbus, mysterious individuals who never appear on screen, and whose existence does not serve any satisfying or interesting purpose.

But that objection could be raised against every single character in the film. A strange – and strangely unconvincing – event brings three women together. Steph (Jeany Spark) is an unhappy teacher; Tina (Tara Fitzgerald) is a...

As comedy has shifted the bounds of acceptable content, some shows continue to push the line between problematic and funny. Unlike some comedians insist, good comedy series like It’s Always Sunny in Philadephia push the boundary of what is allowed on television. Hapless, a new series streaming on Peacock, looks to bring the same energy from a crew of British comedians. It approaches its comedy with traditional sitcom approaches, but unlike many shows, it lets the humor spiral out of control. Most importantly, it gives its stars the material to milk the most laughs possible out of the punchlines. The show is very funny, even if it occasionally feels too similar to the Curb Your Enthusiasm or The League.

Hapless Plot

Hapless follows Paul Green (Tim Downie), a British journalist completing stories for The Jewish Enquirer. As Paul investigates various stories, he comes into contact with different aspects of Jewish and secular British culture.

The ultimate cringe comedy has ended as Curb Your Enthusiasm took its final bow.

After 15 seasons of watching Larry David’s fictional self make a complete and utter ass of himself again and again, it might seem like the end is near for the medium.

Rest assured, this brand of humor will not disappear quickly, and streaming on Peacock today is Hapless, a British comedy from creator Gary Sinyor about -- to harken back to David’s Seinfeld -- nothing.

First of all, you should probably know that I am not generally a sitcom gal. My comedy needs to be brusque and sarcastic, borderline rude, but not raunchy.

As you can imagine, cringe comedies make my heart sing.

These comedies often feature somewhat neurotic people who have failed to fully mature as they live life. As a single adult without children, this speaks to me. How do you mature without kids?...

At the end of each chapter of Hapless, Paul (Tim Downie) cracks open his laptop to scan the headlines of The Jewish Enquirer. Almost invariably, whatever piddling story he’s spent the past episode chasing has been outflanked by the likes of “Cloudy weather in Tel Aviv” (mind you, the show takes place in London) and buried among links to “exclusives” like “Twin brothers share bar mitzvah” and “Jewish Film Festival opens with Jewish-themed film.”

Even by the standards of “the fourth-largest Jewish publication in the U.K.,” these are nothing articles. But they’re right in line with the spirit of the series, an amusingly sour half-hour comedy about a petty man getting worked up over petty things, with petty results. Think of it as a British Curb Your Enthusiasm, if Larry David had been a total nobody forced to look for the “jangle” (Jewish angle) in every remotely...

Exclusive: UK cringe comedy Hapless from director Gary Sinyor is set to launch stateside on Peacock on April 10th.

All 14 episodes from season one and two will be available. Above is the trailer.

Hapless follows the misadventures of Paul Green (played by Outlander and Good Omens 2 actor Tim Downie), a single, freelance journalist working for the fourth largest Jewish publication in the UK. Across both seasons, Hapless chronicles Paul and his constant ability to end up in the most awkward – situations.

Also starring are Jeany Spark (Black Mirror), Mike Fenton Stevens (Slow Horses) and stand-up comedian Josh Howie. Guest stars include Sally Phillips (Veep) and Nick Blood (Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.).

The sitcom has been described as similar in its approach to U.S. hit Curb Your Enthusiasm. It previously played on Prime in the UK and Viaplay in a handful of international territories.

All 22,000 plus voting members of the TV academy have until June 25 to cast their ballots for program nominations (save for animated documentary/nonfiction which are restricted to their peer groups.) Unlike the Oscars, Emmy voters do not rank their choices and nominees are determined by a simple tally. In the past, voters were limited in the number of programs that they could put forth. Last year that cap (which was usually 10 per category) was lifted.

While there has been an explosion in the number of comedy and drama series in the last several years, the limited series genre had been almost static. There were 25 entries in 2015, 26 in 2016 and 25 again in 2017. But this year there has been an uptick, with 33 such shows submitted. Even so, with six nominees for Best Limited Series, the odds for each of the entries detailed below are pretty good. We fill find out which half dozen...

Netflix has released the trailer for their upcoming murder mystery thriller with Carey Mulligan called Collateral. The trailer for the series does a great job of setting up the premise...  who murdered the pizza delivery driver and why?

Set over the course of four days, the story centers on Detective Inspector Kip Glaspie, who refuses to accept that the murder is a random act of senseless violence and becomes determined to discover if there is a darker truth. Politician David Mars instantly is embroiled in the drama through his turbulent relationship with his troubled and unpredictable ex, Karen. All the while, Jane Oliver, a compassionate vicar, struggles to conceal her affair with the only witness to the crime.

The movie originally premiered on BBC Two, so this isn't a Netflix original. But, it does get the Netflix seal of quality in the United States. As a fan of crime thriller stories,...

Episode two of Collateral includes two songs - Jerusalem, sung by a group of drunk, braying soldiers in dress garb, and Big Yellow Taxi, sung by Joni Mitchell. Both about building things on green and pleasant land, the first is an anthem of nation, the second is an environmentalist protest. One looks forward to a future heaven on earth, the other laments the destruction of one that already existed.

Collateral is also a lament. It’s protest drama. Through the common-sense compassion of Carey Mulligan’s Kip, it protests the inhumanity by which people become items ‘processed’ at places like the Essex detention centre. And through the paired stories of Laurie and Sandrine this episode,...

David Hare’s latest BBC series may start with a murder, but the writer assures us that it isn’t just another crime drama. “There are no shots of computers or white boards,” says Hare in this foreword, announcing that he’s done away with “the usual apparatus of the police procedural” to show the impact one death has on a group of interconnected characters.

Collateral is about people caught in institutions and systems that at best, frustrate, and at worst, exploit them – in other words, precisely what TV’s best crime dramas (The Wire, Line Of Duty, The Shield) are about. What Hare means,...

Kenneth Branagh fell into his love affair with the “Wallander” mysteries by Swedish author Henning Mankell (1948 – 2015) for “the sheer pleasure of the reading,” he told me over the phone. “It was novel by novel. I’m not usually a kind of completist in this regard, but each novel did send me to the next one, and I did read them in order, and I did find myself drawn in, hypnotically. I didn’t feel I’d met anyone quite like this before or this landscape.”

The novels are set in Sweden, in and around the town of Ystad, 35 miles south-east of the city of Malmö, in the southern province of Skåne. And that’s where the PBS Mystery series (four seasons, from 2009 through 2016) is also filmed. “It’s vast and flat,” said Branagh. “It has a strong regional dialect. It’s a curious, forgotten, unfashionable pocket of land. Over 60 percent...

Lorenzo the Magnificent seems to be surrounded by people who are more able to be leaders than himself. By virtue of his birth, he's the leader of Florence, but is he the best leader of Florence? As we saw last week, Claire and Carlo seem more able to guide the Medici Bank than Lorenzo. Guiliano was the more popular member of the Medici family. Lucrezia is more able to negotiate the politics and secrecy needed by a leader. Leonardo is Leonardo. This week, it's Duke Alfonso's wife, Ippolita Maria Sforza (Jeany Spark) who shows up our fearless, mostly-helpless leader with a daring scheme of her own.

Every now and then a series comes along that features the perfect actor, the perfect character, the perfect scripts, and the perfect setting. Right now, that series is none other than PBS/BBC's haunting and existential mystery drama Wallander, which returns for its second season on Sunday as part of PBS' Masterpiece Mystery (check your local listings). The series stars Kenneth Branagh as Ystad detective Kurt Wallander, a man gripped by his own concerns as he investigates the grisly and brutal crimes inflicted on the inhabitants of his Swedish port town. (For more on Branagh's take on the character, you can read my interview with him over at The Daily Beast.) But Wallander's purview isn't just finding the perpetrators of these crimes--which include, in the first installment, the brutal murder of an elderly farmer and his wife--but in examining both the damage that such crimes cause and the fractured...
