Paolo Sorrentino to Receive Sarajevo Film Festival Honor and Retrospective
The honor and tribute will be 'in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the art of cinema,' Sarajevo fest organizers said on Tuesday. Sorrentino will also hold a masterclass and 'share his thoughts on contemporary art in a conversation with the audience,' they noted.

'I am deeply honored to receive this prestigious recognition and grateful for the attention given to my filmography,' said Sorrentino. 'I look forward to being with you in Sarajevo. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.'
The fest highlighted the effect the Italian director and screenwriter's oeuvre has had on audiences. 'Paolo Sorrentino [has] managed to do what every filmmaker dreams of – he left a global impact through local, personal stories,' said Jovan Marjanović, director of the Sarajevo Film Festival. 'With visually luxurious, emotionally filled, and intellectually insightful style, he won the hearts of audiences around the world who saw his characters, no matter how eccentric or withdrawn, as a mirror of our world, often absurd, sometimes cruel, but always deeply human. The Honorary Heart of Sarajevo is a recognition of the great beauty that he gave us with his films.'
Born in Naples in 1970, Sorrentino's first full-length feature film, One Man Up, came out in 2001 and was selected for the Venice Film Festival. His next two films, The Consequences of Love (2004) and The Family Friend (2006) were in competition for the Palme d'Or in Cannes, as was Il Divo, which won the jury prize in 2008. Sorrentino also returned to the Cannes competition in 2011 with This Must Be the Place and in 2013 with The Great Beauty, which won the Academy Award, the Golden Globe, and the BAFTA Award for the best foreign-language Film.
After another Cannes competition appearance in 2016 with Youth, he created and directed the TV series The Young Pope in 2016, followed by the movie Loro in 2018 and the series The New Pope in 2019.
In 2021, Sorrentino wrote and directed The Hand of God, which won the Marcello Mastroianni Award at the Venice International Film Festival and five David di Donatello awards, followed by Parthenope in 2024.
Previous recipients of the Honorary Heart of Sarajevo include Meg Ryan (2024), Alexander Payne (2024), John Turturro (2024), Mark Cousins (2023), Lynne Ramsay (2023), Charlie Kaufman (2023), Jesse Eisenberg (2022), Ruben Östlund (2022), Sergei Loznitsa (2022), Paul Joseph Schrader (2022), Wim Wenders (2021), Michel Franco (2020), Mads Mikkelsen (2020), Tim Roth (2019), Isabelle Huppert (2019), Alejandro González Iñárritu (2019), Paweł Pawlikowski (2019), Oliver Stone (2017), John Cleese (2017), Stephen Frears (2016), Robert De Niro (2016), Benicio Del Toro (2015), Danis Tanović (2014), Gael García Bernal (2014), Béla Tarr (2013), Branko Lustig (2012), Jafar Panahi (2011), Angelina Jolie (2011), Steve Buscemi (2007), Mike Leigh (2006), and Gavrilo Grahovac (2006).
Previous filmmakers in the spotlight in a Sarajevo Film Festival 'tribute to' program includeElia Suleiman (2024), Jessica Hausner (2023), Sergei Loznitsa (2022), Wim Wenders (2021), Michel Franco (2020), Paweł Pawlikowski (2019), Nuri Bilge Ceylan (2018), Joshua Oppenheimer and Oliver Stone (2017), Michael Winterbottom (2014), Cristi Puiu (2013), Todd Solondz (2012), Jia Zhang-ke (2009), Todd Haynes (2008), Tsai Ming-Liang and Ulrich Seidl (2007), Abel Ferrara and Béla Tarr (2006), Alexander Payne (2005), Stephen Frears (2002), Mike Leigh (2001), and Steve Buscemi (2000).

Logies 2025 live: 14-year first for Gold Logie award as women dominate, stars get ready for the red carpet
The 65th Annual TV WEEK Logie Awards have arrived, with some of Australia's most popular television personalities set to walk the red carpet at The Star Sydney later today. All eyes will be on the seven Gold Logie nominees, with a record six women in the running to make it the first time since 2011 female nominations have outweighed the male nominations. There's plenty more to get excited about as we prepare for a big night of awards and we'll be bringing you all you need to know about TV's night of nights with our live coverage right here, including exclusive insights from the biggest names in broadcasting. Comedian Sam Pang will return as host for the third consecutive year, while rock legend Jimmy Barnes, singer-songwriter Richard Marx and Guy Sebastian are all performing tonight. There's also a new award on offer tonight – the Ray Martin Award for Most Popular News or Public Affairs Reporter. Netflix's Apple Cider Vinegar, which tells the story of wellness influencer and conwoman Belle Gibson, has received a massive eight nominations, including Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best Lead Actress in a Drama. Channel 7's red carpet coverage, hosted by Sonia Kruger and Chris Brown, will air at 7pm (AEST), followed by the live awards ceremony at 7.30pm. On the red carpet for Yahoo tonight will be Senior Entertainment Reporter Lachlan Guertin and Senior Video Producer Caitie Browne and they'll be bringing you exclusive insights throughout. Follow along below as we bring you regular updates throughout the day. What food is served at the Logies? While we know there's plenty of drinks had at the Logies, what is the food like? Well according to Travel Guides stars Karly Fisher and Bri Auty, it certainly matches the occasion. The pair, who are hoping their show wins Best Lifestyle Program for the fourth year in a row, revealed to Yahoo what was on the menu last year. "I had gold-encrusted lamb. [Bri] had fish, which then I think I ate as well,' Karly recalls. 'And then there was dessert. I've actually got a video of me eating them all. I did a kind of mukbang on my phone, eating all these desserts. They were stunning. 'There was a lava cake, but not a Domino's lava cake. It was like a proper, bougie lava cake. I will say the food was what I was probably most looking forward to, and it did not disappoint. It was so yummy.' Julia Morris practices Gold Logie victory kiss Gold Logie nominee Julia Morris has given us a glimpse of her dress for the night and has practised kissing the Gold Logie award in the process. Morris has been pretty active on her socials, and yesterday also revealed a late-night manicure in her preparations for the big day. And while taking to your feet with an electric file after a cocktail isn't recommended, Morris later revealed it was all a success. Take a look at her outfit for the night below. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Julia Morris (@ladyjuliamorris) Who has the most Logies nominations? The ABC has again dominated this year's Logies when it comes to nominations. The public broadcaster has a total of 44 nominations. Commercial network Nine is the closet competition with 23 (up to 32 if you include streaming platform Stan which it owns). Netflix's Apple Cider Vinegar about wellness influencer and conwoman Belle Gibson has an impressive eight nominations, although they are spread across just four awards. The streaming giant's Territory isn't far behind with seven nominations tonight. The ABC's Fisk has five, while Binge's Colin From Accounts and the ABC's Return To Paradise have four each. Netflix's Heartbreak High has three. Who is the favourite to win the Gold Logie? If you voted in our poll shared earlier, you would have seen Lynne McGranger is the clear favourite to win the Gold Logie tonight among Yahoo readers, with 37 per cent of your believing she'll take the top award. Nineteen per cent of you think Ally Langdon will win it, while 17 per cent say Poh Ling Yeow. And that's the way the bookmakers are going, with Sportsbet paying $1.37 for a McGranger win. They have Langdon at $5 and Hamish Blake at $8.50. Poh Ling Yeow is further back at $13.00 What time do stars start their day for the Logies? While you'll be turning on your TV set in the evening, those involved are getting ready long before you get comfy. And while some celebs' days will be busier than others, Gold Logie nominee Lynne McGranger has offered an insight into how gruelling Sunday can be. "I think I've got to do some early morning television… I'll probably do hair and makeup, and then I'll probably have a couple of hours off," she told Yahoo Lifestyle. "I'll be in makeup again I think at around lunchtime for the Logies, and then I have to be ready to go at 2.30pm – what sort of a ridiculous hour is that?" "But because I'm presenting, I've got to stay nice. I can't be necking the champagne, otherwise I'll get on stage and I'll be dribbling. So I just have to pace myself and be sensible for once in my life." Sam Pang reveals this year's Logies jokes already had a run Sam Pang is returning for his third consecutive year hosting the Logies. The comedian has been a huge hit in the top gig thanks to his brutal yet hilarious approach, with no-one across Australian TV safe when it comes to his jokes. But there's plenty of work that goes into his presenting, with Pang telling Ross and Russ on 3AW Breakfast he scripted this year's jokes and trialled them at a small comedy club in Melbourne. "I got up for twenty minutes and trialled some stuff," he said, saying some material was cut based on the reaction of the audience. 'The only thing you don't want to do is get up there on Sunday night and say a joke and at the end of it they didn't even know it was a joke." Last year Pang took aim at Channel Seven's internal issues despite the network broadcasting the awards. Who do you think will win the Gold Logie? Right. Now we've run you through the Gold Logie nominees, who do you think will win it? Have your say in our poll below. Gold Logie nominee: Hamish Blake Rounding out this year's Gold Logie nominees is Hamish Blake, who has openly discouraged viewers from voting for him as the only man in the group. The comedian and radio host is nominated for Lego Masters, and previously won in both 2012 and 2022. 2025 marks his sixth nomination. How many Logies awards are there? We have a new award tonight in the Ray Martin Award for Most Popular News or Public Affairs Presenter, with a total of 23 awards up for grabs tonight. With so many awards, tonight's proceedings could easily stretch well beyond the scheduled time, as it has done in the past. Last year, the Gold Logie was only handed out close to midnight. So buckle in for a long night. Gold Logie nominee: Sonia Kruger Sonia Kruger is one of only two Gold Logie nominees this year who have already won the award, having taken home the trophy in 2023. This year, she's nominated for her hosting roles on The Voice, Dancing With The Stars, and last year's Logies red carpet coverage. View this post on Instagram A post shared by soniakruger (@soniakruger) Gold Logie nominee: Lisa Millar ABC star Lisa Millar is the only Gold Logie nominee this year who has never previously been nominated in any category at the awards show. The veteran journalist is nominated for her work on Back Roads, Muster Dogs, and News Breakfast, which she left in August 2024. 'I cannot believe that this kid who had a big dream to make it in this industry is now being nominated for the Gold Logie, the biggest award of them all,' she told Yahoo Lifestyle. 'I don't go to the Logies very often, I've only been to the Logies three times in my life, and last year was one of them. If you had told me, 'Hey, next year you're going to be at the Logies and you're going to be a Gold Logie nominee', I would've laughed at you.' Gold Logie nominee: Ally Langdon In addition to her Gold Logie nomination, Ally Langdon is nominated for the inaugural Ray Martin Award for Most Popular News or Public Affairs Presenter. After taking home the Silver Logie for Best News or Public Affairs Presenter last year, the A Current Affair admitted to Yahoo Lifestyle she wasn't quite sure how to campaign for her first-ever Gold Logie nomination. 'My approach last year with the Silver was I just ignored it, and like if you looked on my socials, you wouldn't have even known. But I don't know if I'm going to be able to get away with that this time round,' she shared. 'I feel like I'm here, I'm the face of A Current Affair, but I very much feel like that's who I'm representing for this. It's not sort of 'Ally for the Gold', it's 'ACA for the Gold', and I just happen to sit in the chair.' Can I still vote for the Logies? There's still time to get your vote in for the 2025 Logies. The Most Popular Presenter, Most Popular New Talent, and Most Popular News or Public Affairs Reporter categories will close at 7.30pm (AEST) tonight, and the Gold Logie votes will stay open until 10.30pm. What happened at the Logies last year? There was a first Gold Logie win for veteran presenter Larry Emdur 12 months ago, and as promised, he recognised the moment with a tattoo on his backside the following morning live on The Morning Show. The other big winners on the night were 15-year-old Felix Cameron who won two of Boy Swallows Universe's five Logies, while Utopia won all three comedy awards. Cameron won the hearts of the nation when he broke down in tears during his first acceptance speech which he'd written down on a piece of paper because his phone was broken. Relive other moments from the night via our 2024 Logies live blog here. Gold Logie nominee: Poh Ling Yeow Fourteen years after being nominated for Most Popular New Female Talent, Poh Ling Yeow is nominated for the coveted Gold Logie this year. Fellow MasterChef judge Sofia Levin is also nominated for Most Popular New Talent, while the reality show itself is up for Best Competition Reality Program. Poh told Yahoo Lifestyle that while she felt extremely honoured to be nominated for the Gold Logie, she's especially thrilled it's alongside five other women. 'It feels really amazing to be part of this historical moment,' she said. 'And I think also, quite a few of the ladies are middle-aged, which I think is amazing, because I think this is our moment to shine.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Poh Ling Yeow (@pohlingyeow) Julia Morris' swipe after 14-year first for Gold Logie Six of this year's seven Gold Logie nominees are women and if we're honest, it's about time. You have to go back 14 years to 2011 for female nominees to outweigh the men. And even then, Karl Stefanovic claimed the award on the night. In the 11 awards handed out since, only three have been won by women, with tonight a better chance than any to add to that number. Nominee Julia Morris couldn't help but take a swipe at the lack of representation for women this week, joking Hamish Blake's inclusion among the nominees was a win for men. "The girls keep getting all the opportunities," she sarcastically told KIIS' Will and Woody. "Women just kept getting so many opportunities. So yes, I think it's time that male voices were heard actually. Someone needs to say something." Gold Logie nominee: Julia Morris This year marks the fourth time Julia Morris has been nominated for the Gold Logie, making her one of the most nominated TV personalities to have never won. While she was up for the award alongside her I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! co-host Robert Irwin last year, she's riding solo this time around. Speaking with Yahoo Lifestyle at the nominations event in June, Julia joked that she has 'a lot of strategies in place' to finally take it out this year. 'My campaign strategy is to drive mum's Uber, I drive children to various locations,' she remarked. 'Unpacking the dishwasher is definitely part of my strategy. And what else have I got to do? Oh, keep the pool filled up with the water, because if it goes beneath, then the filter won't work.' Gold Logie nominee: Lynne McGranger Lynne McGranger is a first-time Gold Logie nominee this year and is also up for Best Lead Actress in a Drama. The Home and Away veteran, who recently quit the soap opera after 33 years playing Irene Roberts, was previously nominated for the Silver Logie for Most Popular Actress in 2023, but lost out to Fisk's Kitty Flanagan. 'It's extraordinary. My worlds are colliding with Irene's storyline winding up, doing The Grandparents Club, touring that nationally, and then the Gold Logie. Worlds have collided, so I'm just hanging on like grim death at the moment,' she told Yahoo Lifestyle last week. 'What I'm most proud of is that a woman my age can be nominated for her first Gold Logie ever, and win, lose, or draw, I feel like it's a win. It's a win for women everywhere, and women of any age need never feel invisible again.' Who is nominated for the Gold Logie? This year marks the first time in the award show's history that there's been this many women nominated for the Gold Logie, scoring six out of the seven nominations. TV presenters Ally Langdon, Julia Morris, Lisa Millar, Poh Ling Yeow, Sonia Kruger, and Home and Away actress Lynne McGranger are all up for the top award alongside Lego Masters host Hamish Blake, the sole male nominee. We'll take you through these in more detail food is served at the Logies? While we know there's plenty of drinks had at the Logies, what is the food like? Well according to Travel Guides stars Karly Fisher and Bri Auty, it certainly matches the occasion.

There was a first Gold Logie win for veteran presenter Larry Emdur 12 months ago, and as promised, he recognised the moment with a tattoo on his backside the following morning live on The Morning Show. The other big winners on the night were 15-year-old Felix Cameron who won two of Boy Swallows Universe's five Logies, while Utopia won all three comedy awards. Cameron won the hearts of the nation when he broke down in tears during his first acceptance speech which he'd written down on a piece of paper because his phone was broken.

Gold Logie nominee: Poh Ling Yeow Fourteen years after being nominated for Most Popular New Female Talent, Poh Ling Yeow is nominated for the coveted Gold Logie this year. Fellow MasterChef judge Sofia Levin is also nominated for Most Popular New Talent, while the reality show itself is up for Best Competition Reality Program. Poh told Yahoo Lifestyle that while she felt extremely honoured to be nominated for the Gold Logie, she's especially thrilled it's alongside five other women. 'It feels really amazing to be part of this historical moment,' she said. 'And I think also, quite a few of the ladies are middle-aged, which I think is amazing, because I think this is our moment to shine.'

You have to go back 14 years to 2011 for female nominees to outweigh the men. And even then, Karl Stefanovic claimed the award on the night. In the 11 awards handed out since, only three have been won by women, with tonight a better chance than any to add to that number. Nominee Julia Morris couldn't help but take a swipe at the lack of representation for women this week, joking Hamish Blake's inclusion among the nominees was a win for men. "The girls keep getting all the opportunities," she sarcastically told KIIS' Will and Woody. "Women just kept getting so many opportunities. So yes, I think it's time that male voices were heard actually. Someone needs to say something." Six of this year's seven Gold Logie nominees are women and if we're honest, it's about time.

Speaking with Yahoo Lifestyle at the nominations event in June, Julia joked that she has 'a lot of strategies in place' to finally take it out this year. 'My campaign strategy is to drive mum's Uber, I drive children to various locations,' she remarked. 'Unpacking the dishwasher is definitely part of my strategy. And what else have I got to do? Oh, keep the pool filled up with the water, because if it goes beneath, then the filter won't work.'

5 things you need to remember before 'Wednesday' season 2
'Wednesday' season 2 creeps onto our screens with the first four episodes dropping August 6. If it's anything like season 1, we're in for more monstrous mayhem, gore and heaps of gothic sarcasm. With new cast members, returning nightmares and a darker tone promised, now's the perfect time to brush up on the chaos that went down last time at Nevermore Academy. From shocking betrayals to mysterious texts, severed limbs to unsupervised bees, season 1 didn't hold back. And with the new season split into two chapters, there's no better moment to crawl back through the crypt of plot twists. Fair warning: I'll be mentioning major spoilers from season 1. So, without further ado, here are five things you should remember before 'Wednesday' season 2 drops on Netflix. Tyler Galpin's (Hunter Doohan) connection with Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) began innocuously enough. As a local barista in Jericho, he quickly became her confidant and potential love interest. However, their budding relationship took a dark turn when Tyler was revealed to be the Hyde — a monstrous entity responsible for a series of brutal murders in and around Nevermore Academy. Manipulated by Marilyn Thornhill (aka Laurel Gates), Tyler's actions were not entirely his own, as he struggled with the duality of his nature and the influence exerted over him. By the end of season 1, Tyler's true identity was exposed, leading to his capture. He was last seen shackled and being transported to Willow Hill Psychiatric Hospital, a facility with its own dark history. This hospital is significant not only for housing Tyler but also for its connection to his mother, Francoise, who was institutionalized there after her Hyde persona emerged. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. In the season 2 trailer, a brief yet telling scene shows Wednesday visiting Tyler at Willow Hill. Tyler might just possess knowledge or insights crucial to solving new mysteries at Nevermore. Marilyn Thornhill (Christina Ricci) initially appears as the kind-hearted botany teacher and dorm mom at Nevermore Academy. However, it's later revealed that she is actually Laurel Gates, the presumed-dead daughter of the Gates family, infamous for their deep-seated hatred of outcasts. Laurel faked her death in 1991 and returned to Jericho with a sinister agenda: to resurrect her ancestor, Joseph Crackstone, and eradicate all outcasts, including those at Nevermore. By the end of season 1, Laurel's true identity is exposed. She attempts to carry out her plan by using Goody Addams' book of spells to bring Crackstone back to life. However, her scheme is thwarted when Wednesday stakes Crackstone in the heart, ending his reign of terror. In the ensuing chaos, Laurel tries to kill Wednesday but is stopped when Eugene (Moosa Mostafa) releases a swarm of bees, allowing Wednesday to knock her unconscious. Her ultimate fate remains ambiguous, though. While she is knocked out and presumably captured, her survival is not confirmed, leaving open the possibility for her return in future episodes. Principal Larissa Weems (Gwendoline Christie) was a pivotal figure at Nevermore Academy. A former classmate of Morticia Addams, Weems served as the headmistress, but her true nature was far more complex. In a shocking twist, it was revealed that Weems was a shapeshifter. She had assumed the guise of Tyler to deceive Thornhill into confessing her nefarious plans. Tragically, Thornhill killed Weems in retaliation. While some fans speculated about her potential return, Christie confirmed that her character would not be returning for season 2. With Weems' departure, season 2 introduces a new headmaster: Barry Dort, played by Steve Buscemi. Described as a principal 'incredibly into Nevermore,' Barry Dort is expected to infuse the school with a unique energy. As season 1 came to a close, Wednesday drives away from Nevermore Academy — her semester canceled and her future uncertain. Her classmate gifts her a brand-new phone, the first one Wednesday has ever owned Before she barely settles into the car seat, Wednesday's screen lights up: an unknown sender shares photos of her, followed by a chilling GIF of her being stabbed through the head. The final message reads simply: 'I'm watching you.' The presence of the anonymous texter and the imagery signals one thing: someone out there knows more than she thinks…and may be planning something far more sinister. Jenna Ortega, now an executive producer of 'Wednesday,' has confirmed that season 2 intentionally ditches any romantic subplot for her character. Instead, the show will lean significantly into horror. Creators Miles Millar and Alfred Gough have echoed this creative shift, promising more psychological suspense, genuine danger, and real stakes. The trailer reinforces this tone shift. Wednesday experiences a terrifying psychic vision in which she sees her friend Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers) dying, and believes it's her fault. A headstone bearing Enid's name and Enid's ghostly appearance scream impending tragedy. In short, season 2 is throwing out the teenage love angle and doubling down on macabre mystery and platonic bonds, with Enid's fate hanging in the balance. "Wednesday" season 2 will be released on Netflix in two parts: Part 1 on August 6, and part 2 on September 3.

5 best shows like ‘Untamed' to stream right now
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Netflix's new mystery-thriller "Untamed" has had viewers glued to their screens. Ever since its July 17 premiere, Mark L. Smith and Elle Smith's Yosemite-set mystery has continued to be one of the most popular watches on the streaming service. Every time I've checked, it's occupied the No. 1 spot in Netflix's top 10 shows list. The show sees Eric Bana stepping into frame as Investigative Service Branch Agent, Kyle Turner, who is on the trail of a killer and grappling with his own past. Given the show's popularity and the fact that it's only six episodes long, I wouldn't be surprised if many fans had already worked their way through the entire mystery and were on the hunt for another compelling watch to keep them occupied. With that in mind, I've put together a round-up of five more shows with a similar vibe that I think you should check out next; you can find my list of shows like "Untamed" (and where to stream them) below. The best shows like 'Untamed' and where to stream them 'Bodkin' "Bodkin" might be more of a comedic series than "Untamed," but I think this Netflix series is every bit as compelling a mystery thriller as the streamer's more recent hit, and one that I think "Untamed" fans will enjoy. This seven-part limited series revolves around three unlikely allies — disgraced Irish investigative journalist, Dove Maloney (Siobhán Cullen), American podcaster Gilbert Power (Will Forte), and his assistant, Emmy Sizergh (Robyn Cara) — who are thrown together to investigate a cold case (a trio of decades-old disappearances during Samhain) in the titular Irish town of Bodkin. The trio finds that the people of Bodkin aren't exactly happy to discuss the disappearances, and as they keep digging, the stakes get way higher, and dark secrets start to come to light... Watch "Bodkin" on Netflix now 'Dark Winds' AMC's "Dark Winds" feels like a very natural follow-up, to "Untamed," as it's also currently available on Netflix and follows officers tackling cases in another striking setting (the American Southwest) The 1970s-set series follows Navajo Tribal police officers Joe Leaphorn (Zahn McClarnon) and Jim Chee (Kiowa Gordon) as they investigate a series of increasingly violent crimes on the reservation — mysteries that see both grappling with their own pasts and that force them to challenge their own spiritual beliefs. Netflix only has the first two seasons at present, but the show was renewed for a fourth installment back in February 2025, so there's plenty more thrills to come. Watch "Dark Winds" on Netflix now 'Department Q' If you missed it earlier this year, then I'd recommend giving Scott Frank's "Dept. Q" a go, as this is another intriguing mystery thriller that will get its hooks into you. If you tune in, you'll be swapping the vast expanse of Yosemite National Park for the streets of Edinburgh and following DCI Carl Morck (Matthew Goode), a no-nonsense English detective with a knack for cracking cases, but not for making friends in his Scottish department. After an investigation gone wrong, he finds himself exiled to the basement and tasked with heading up "Department Q," a newly-formed cold case unit (a thinly-veiled PR stunt) to distract from the force's failings. With the aid of a misfit team with everything to prove, he sets out to uncover the truth behind a missing persons case in textbook Carl fashion: rattling cages and refusing to take no for an answer. Watch "Dept. Q" on Netflix now 'Mare of Easttown' If you're on top of your detective stories from the past few years, then you'll no doubt have come across "Mare of Easttown," Brad Ingelsby's critically acclaimed HBO Max show, which many regarded as appointment viewing when it was on the air. If not, you've got a fantastic, suspenseful small-town crime drama to stream at your earliest convenience. The series follows "local hero" detective sergeant Mare Sheehan (a phenomenal performance from Kate Winslet) as she tries to get to the bottom of a recent murder in the fictional suburb of Easttown, Philadelphia. Watch "Mare of Easttown" on HBO Max now 'The Sinner' I'm rounding out this list with "The Sinner," a dark, unorthodox crime thriller anthology series that sees Detective Harry Ambrose (Bill Pullman) getting to grips with a series of murder cases and uncovering what drove the culprits to commit their crimes. It's a whydunnit, not a whodunnit. Season 1 kicks things off with Harry investigating a young woman (Jessica Biel) who commits a brutal murder on a family beach trip, trying to understand exactly what could have triggered that killing. It's gripping TV, and should be another solid watch. And with four seasons to stream, it should keep you locked in for some time to come.
