Bad Sisters star's 'breathless whodunnit' that had fans 'hooked' now streaming on Disney Plus
Bad Sisters star Sarah Greene's beloved 2019 crime drama Dublin Murders has just landed on the streamer Bad Sisters star Sarah Greene's "breathless whodunnit" that had fans "hooked" is now streaming on Disney Plus. Sarah gained acclaim as Bibi Garvey in Sharon Horgan's hit Apple TV+ show, and is also celebrated for her role in another intense Irish drama. Adapted from Tana French's acclaimed Dublin Murder Squad books, the show sees Sarah's character, Cassie Maddox, and her partner Rob Reilly (Killian Scott) delve into the chilling murder of a young girl on the outskirts of Dublin. For Rob, the investigation dredges up haunting memories, as he was the only child to emerge from a harrowing event in same woods, where two of his friends disappeared without a trace. As Rob battles with his buried traumas, the tension mounts, casting shadows over their quest for truth, reports Belfast Live. Alongside Sarah and Killian, the series also stars Michael D'Arcy, Tom Vaughan-Lawlor, Eugene O'Hare, Moe Dunford, Ellie O'Halloran, Niall Jordan, and Ian Kenny. Game of Thrones star Conleth Hill also appears in a guest role. Initially broadcast on BBC One, RTÉ One, and Starz back in 2019, Dublin Murders found its first streaming home on BBC iPlayer. Now, Disney+ has acquired all eight episodes for UK viewers to binge-watch. If you haven't got a subscription to the streamer yet, there are three different plans to choose from, including with ads, standard and premium options. The Disney+ standard with ads plan is usually £4.99 per month, whereas the standard plan removes the ads and costs £8.99 a month, or £89.90 for the entire year. If you'd prefer to go down the premium route, it would set you back £12.99 a month or £129.90 a year, and allows users to stream on up to four devices at the same time. Dublin Murders was met with critical acclaim following its debut, with The Guardian hailing it "a breathless whodunnit" and praising its "sophisticated and slickly satisfying" storyline. The show's viewers also shared their praise on various social media platforms. "I absolutely loved this mind-twisting psychological thriller. The characters are flawed and have dark pasts which interweave beautifully with the main plot. Well worth the binge-watch," one person wrote on IMDb. Another added: "This gets you hooked from the first episode. One of the best shows on TV in a long time. Brilliant cast." A third fan similarly said: "I found this show to not only be a gripping mystery, but also a realistic study on PTSD and a detective crumbling under the pressure of working in such a traumatising field. One of the best crime shows out there." Dublin Murders is available to stream on Disney+

American bombshell 'top name' for next Bond Girl after rapid rise to fame
She's one of the hottest names in showbiz right now, and it looks like Sydney Sweeney is in the running for the biggest role of her career. The blonde bombshell rose to fame in The Handmaid's Tale, later gaining wider recognition in Euphoria and The White Lotus. And with huge roles like the female lead in Anyone But You opposite Glen Powell and a viral moment in the divisive superhero flick Madame Web, it's no surprise that her name has fallen onto the desks of James Bond bosses. Consequently, Sydney is rumoured to be a contender for the next Bond Girl. Not only that, but she already has the backing of Jeff Bezos, whose Amazon acquired creative control of the 007 franchise earlier this year, taking over from Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson. According to The Sun, 27-year-old Sydney is close pals with new Bond director Denis Villeneuve, meaning she's already in with all the right people. A source told the publication: 'Sydney is the top name on the casting sheet for Bond. 'Denis believes she is hugely talented, as well as having an alluring appeal to younger generations, vital in modernising the franchise. 'They've hung out together a lot, and he has admired her stratospheric rise.' 'Plus, Sydney has the quality of being athletic and able to perform physical scenes, as well as being feminine and following in the legacy of Bond girls,' added the insider. Indeed, Sydney recently took on arguably her most challenging and physically demanding role to date, playing trailblazing boxer Christy Martin in her biopic. Sydney, who has experience in MMA and combat sports, gained 30Ibs for the part, saying her body was 'completely different' by the end of her transformation. So, she certainly has both the beauty, brains, and brawn to be Bond's next addition, and with her recent attendance at the Bezos wedding, plus looking cosy with former Bond gal Ana de Armas at last year's Toronto Film Festival, you'd be forgiven for already starting to put pieces together. As for her competition, previous actresses tipped for the coveted Bond Girl role include Florence Pugh, who is a hot favourite after working with Villeneuve on Dune 2. Other names floating around include Sydney's Euphoria co-star Zendaya, Bad Sisters actress Eve Hewson, Bridgerton's Nicola Coughlan, and ex-Corrie fave Michelle Keegan. The Bond Girl role was first played by Ursula Andress as Honey Ryder in the 1960s, while later actresses include Jane Seymour, Barbara Bach, Eva Green, Michelle Yeoh, Maud Adams, and Halle Berry. As for the Secret Service agent himself, it is yet to be announced who will step into Daniel Craig's shoes after he bowed out in 2021's No Time to Die. Currently, Aaron Taylor-Johnson is the runaway favourite, and he has been for a while. The 35-year-old Bullet Train star has seemingly fuelled speculation on several occasions, most notably by signing a deal with Omega, the luxury watch brand that's featured in Bond films since 1995's Golden Eye. And at the 28 Years Later premiere in London last month, he played coy when Deadline asked: 'What are you doing next?' 'I can't talk about it,' he replied before being escorted away. Other than the Kick-Ass star, Theo James, Henry Cavill, Jack Lowden, James Norton, Josh O'Connor, Regé-Jean Page, and Paul Mescal are all potential Bonds, according to the bookies. Jonathan Bailey, Jacob Elordi, Tom Holland, and Timothée Chalamet have also been mentioned in reports. It is not yet known when a decision will be finalised on who our next 007 is, but it's been claimed Amazon is getting closer by the day. Aaron Taylor-Johnson – 11/8 Callum Turner – 16/1 Harris Dickinson – 12/1 Henry Cavill – 10/1 Jack Lowden – 5/1 James Norton – 12/1 Sam C. Wilson – 16/1 Scott Rose-Marsh – 6/1 Theo James – 4/1 Odds taken from Ladbrokes. Just days ago, Mike Hopkins, head of Amazon MGM Studios, brought Bond back to everyone's attention when discussing Villeneuve coming on board. More Trending 'We are honoured that Denis has agreed to direct James Bond's next chapter,' he said. 'He is a cinematic master whose filmography speaks for itself.' The four-time Oscar-nominated director, who is a long-time Bond fanatic, is famous for his work on Arrival, Blade Runner 2049, and the Dune franchise. There's no denying he brings plenty to the table, given how his movies have grossed more than $1.8billion (£1.3bn) worldwide. Got a story?
