Bad Sisters star's 'breathless whodunnit' that had fans 'hooked' now streaming on Disney Plus
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+

CBS and Disney legend behind beloved hit shows dies aged 78 after heartbreaking battle
Former CBS and Disney executive James Stark Bennett II has died after a heartbreaking battle with cancer. Bennett, lovingly known as Jamie, passed away on July 6 at the age of 78. He is survived by his wife, Carolyn, their three children and extended family, as reported by The Los Angeles Times. The television executive, who spent over a decade at CBS, was best known for developing the iconic talk show Live with Regis and Kathie Lee. He served as an executive for both radio and television stations in San Francisco and Chicago before relocating to Los Angeles, where he became vice president and general manager of KCBS-TV. Bennett later joined the legendary Walt Disney Company, where he took on the role of senior vice president at Buena Vista Television Productions. During his time at the company, Bennett played a key role in launching a string of successful programs - including the notorious 1988 talk show, the acclaimed film review series Siskel & Ebert and the popular game show, Win, Lose or Draw. He later went on to serve as president and CEO of ACI - a Los Angeles-based television and film distribution company. Bennett and his family ended up relocating to London after ACI was acquired by UK-based Pearson Television in 1995. During his time in the UK, he led Pearson Television's global production efforts before eventually returning to Los Angeles and settling back on the West Coast. During this period, Bennett devoted his time, talent and energy to volunteer board service and mentoring business start-ups through Pasadena Angels - an early-stage investment group providing 'angel round' financing to emerging ventures, as reported by Deadline. In addition to volunteering his expertise, he broadened his horizons by taking on the role of chief operating officer at the Southern California Institute of Architecture - extending his leadership well beyond the entertainment industry. According to his family, he was instrumental in securing a permanent home for the school in the vibrant heart of LA's Arts District, cementing its future for years to come, as reported by LA Times. Beyond architecture, he poured his passion into the Ojai Music Festival - serving on its board before taking the reigns as president and CEO for five transformative years until 2020. Bennett also served on numerous other boards, including the W. Alton Jones Foundation, National Environmental Trust, Phoenix Pictures, St. Nicholas Theater in Chicago, Marlborough School, UC Berkeley Alumni Association and the Television Advisory Board of the Annenberg School at USC, Deadline reported. He and his wife, Carolyn, eventually retired to an 11-acre farm in the tranquil town of Ojai - nestled about 80 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles - which became his permanent home base. But Bennett's journey began on June 1, 1947, when he was born in New York City. He went on to graduate from UC Berkeley, where he not only chaired a student-run summer program in Washington, DC, but also launched his media career as program director of the university's radio station - seemingly the place where his passion for the entertainment industry first took root. Armed with an MBA from Harvard Business School, he returned to the Big Apple to join CBS - a move that ignited the launch of his influential media career that would span for decades. In addition to his wife and children, Bennett is now survived by grandchildren, a sister and her husband and a niece with her daughter. Donations in Bennett's memory can be made to the Ojai Music Festival or to the Jamie Bennett Community Fund, PO Box 185, Ojai, CA 93024.

Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 9 Danny's character Lee and his brother Glen, played by Ryan Sampson Credit: ©Sky UK In the comedy, which returns to Sky and Now on Thursday, Danny's character Lee is a wayward geezer who rocks up at his straight-laced brother Glen's carpet factory, seeking a new chapter. Laughing, Danny said: 'Ever run through a council estate naked? It's a whole new ball game, literally. 'I was concentrating on the weather, more than anything else, you know, that it wasn't too cold! 'It was broad daylight. I didn't go fully [nude], I had a little sock over my Hampton.' The former EastEnders hardman didn't mind stripping off because it was important for the storyline, with Lee chasing down a thug who had thrown a brick through a window. He added: 'You read this stuff, and you go, 'OK, I've got to physically do it'. But it's important to the show, it's a vital scene. You go, 'He's back'. It's the way of showing the alpha is back.' It is all quite different to Danny's more romantic scenes in Disney+ bonkbuster Rivals. And he reckons playing the two roles in tandem has finally proven his clout as an actor. Danny mused: 'No one really saw me in that rom-com light. I'm really appreciative that Rivals went, 'No, this is what you're going to do, something completely different'.

I'd played him for so long, you pick up habits.' I'm sure Danny's fans won't mind if he makes nudity a habit.

Emma received a text, which read: 'Islanders, pucker up and prepare to bring the passion. "It's time to find out who's the ultimate snogger in today's kissing competition.' The boys didn't hold back in their feedback, with Dejon slating Yasmin: 'That kiss was two words . . . no good. Zero out of ten.' There's more romance on EastEnders than Love Island these days.

Why the viral Sylvanian Drama soap operas have gone quiet online
The social media account Sylvanian Drama, which has frequently gone viral for its darkly comedic skits featuring small, anthropomorphic animal toys, mysteriously went quiet this year after it landed in legal hot water with the toys' maker. Epoch, the Japanese company behind the toys, sued the account's creator earlier this year, claiming that she has been 'doubling her efforts to exploit Epoch's copyrights and trademarks for her own commercial gain' despite the company's attempts to work the issue out amicably. Sylvanian Families, also known as Calico Critters in the United States and Canada, are felt dolls in the shape of cute, anthropomorphized animals. They were first released in Japan in 1985. The creatures range from bunnies and kittens to squirrels and more, all with wide, black eyes and tiny clothing. Online, Irish content creator Thea Von Engelbrechten has taken the adorable creatures and given them backstories with mature themes, putting them in real-world scenarios that aren't as innocent or family-friendly as the dolls themselves appear to be. Her Sylvanian Drama page has 2.5 million followers on TikTok and 1 million on Instagram. The videos, all of which feature Calico Critters, often rack up millions of views each. In these soap opera-style clips, the critters might be getting drunk, doing drugs, committing violence or doing other unsavory things. Epoch's lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on April 7, initially flew under the radar but drew attention online last week when some outlets reported on the situation after noticing months of silence from the account. The Irish Independent was the first to report the lawsuit. The company accused Von Engelbrechten of copyright infringement, trademark infringement and unfair competition. It stated that she has been prominently featuring Calico Critters products in videos without permission, including for commercial purposes by advertising for other brands' goods and services. The lawsuit added that she also uses a copyrighted image as Sylvanian Drama's social media profile picture. Von Engelbrechten declined to comment. Attorneys for Epoch did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The lawsuit underscores the potential tensions that can arise when creators use branded materials as drivers of their content. Early gaming creators faced similar legal pushback when using copyrighted games and characters in their videos, for example. The case against Sylvanian Drama is the latest to highlight how the creator economy straddles the line between user-generated content and copyright protections. Von Engelbrechten's account has become so popular in recent years that some on the internet have begun to associate the toys with the Sylvanian Drama account more than the official Sylvanian Families or Calico Critters brands. In its lawsuit, Epoch wrote that Von Engelbrechten has caused 'irreparable injury to Epoch's goodwill and reputation,' noting that the brand was originally intended to engage children. Von Engelbrechten began posting Sylvanian Drama videos in 2021, when she was a 19-year-old multimedia student at Dublin City University. She told The Tab in a 2023 interview that her videos were meant to parody shows like 'Gossip Girl' and 'Pretty Little Liars.' 'I'm always surprised that I'm not already canceled for the stuff that I do,' she said. 'I don't mean any harm and also … a lot of the issues that I joke about are problems in my own life. There's a lot of stuff about weight and dieting and people struggling with that, and that's all just me joking about myself. So I'm not making fun of anyone.' The account hasn't posted on any of its platforms since January. Its latest video was a paid partnership promoting 'Squid Game' shortly after the release of the hit Netflix show's second season. (The lawsuit noted that Sylvanian Drama has similarly advertised for the likes of Kate Spade, Sephora, Burberry, Hilton and Taco Bell.) Epoch claimed in its complaint that TikTok had previously removed allegedly infringing videos from its platform after the company served a Digital Millennium Copyright Act notice in October 2023. But because it was not able to work out a permanent resolution with Von Engelbrechten, Epoch wrote, it 'had no choice but to file this lawsuit' this year. The company, which demanded a jury trial, sought an order declaring that Von Engelbrechten infringed its copyrights, as well as an order prohibiting her from infringing any copyrights in the future. It also asked for damages of up to $150,000 for each copyrighted work infringed, plus all profits made by Von Engelbrechten as a result of the alleged infringement. According to a court document this month, however, Epoch and Von Engelbrechten are now 'actively engaged in settlement discussions' and planning to submit a joint letter with a proposed plan to move forward. Von Engelbrechten has until Aug. 8 to respond to the lawsuit, with the initial pretrial conference slated for Aug. 14.
