What to watch on TV and streaming today: The Hit List, LA Confidential and Happy Gilmore 2
The Hit List BBC One, 6.20pm Another three teams face more musical conundrums as they attempt to prove their knowledge and win a big cash prize. As ever, real-life married couple Rochelle and Marvin Humes host. Ottoman Empire by Train with Alice Roberts RTÉ2, 7.45pm Originally broadcast on Channel 4 last September, this fascinating five-part series is receiving a welcome reshowing. Roberts travels across Turkey and beyond to visit sites that were important to the Ottoman Empire, beginning her journey in Adana, near the Syrian border. An evening dedicated to the much-missed singer begins with archive performances in Whitney at the BBC. That's followed by the biopic Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody (9pm), and concludes with a chance to see her on stage in Whitney Houston: Live in South Africa 1994 (11.15pm). LA Confidential TG4, 9.35pm Gripping, Oscar-winning crime thriller starring Guy Pearce, Russell Crowe and Kevin Spacey as a trio of mismatched cops whose investigation into a bloodbath at a diner unearths a trail of corruption within the LAPD. The Quiet American RTÉ One, 11.25pm Wonderful adaptation of Graham Greene's classic novel. Set in 1950s Vietnam, it focuses on the friendship that develops between a British journalist and an American aid worker who isn't quite what he seems. Michael Caine and Brendan Fraser star. Shiny Happy People: The Teenage Holy War Prime Video, streaming now 'How do you know you're in a cult if it's your normal?' For most under the power of leader Ron Luce, believing you were meant to die a teen martyr for Christ was normal... It would appear there was so much for the Teen Mania Ministries escapees to unpack of their time at the church that Emmy-winning filmmakers Nicole Newnham and Cori Shepherd are back with a second season. They continue to focus on America's largest youth ministry, which attracted millions through wildly popular stadium shows known as 'Acquire the Fire'. Packed with Millennial-era energy and copious levels of cringe, the series captures massive crowds of teens swept up in fervent religious concerts, purity pledges, and missionary zeal — when all most of them needed was a decent regular rave to attend. Beneath the polished youth group image, it reveals rigid spiritual training, theatrical indoctrination, and emotional manipulation orchestrated by Luce. My Melody & Kuromi Netflix, streaming now Fellow Sanrio fans, rejoice! In this charming stop-motion series, celebrating their respective birthdays, (cooler) younger sister Kuromi hunts for My Melody's cake secret, triggering sweet chaos in Mariland. If you can't handle the kawaii burblings, consider watching on mute; it's worth it for the animation. A Normal Woman Netflix, streaming now A socialite's life unravels when a mysterious illness — and her family's disbelief (and latent misogyny) — push her to sabotage her perfect facade and uncover a darker, truer self. Happy Gilmore 2 Netflix, streaming now Yay, 1990s nostalgia! Can you believe it took only three decades for a sequel to this Adam Sandler vehicle? That's either an exceedingly good or a not-so-good sign. It was also released straight to Netflix. Take from that what you will. Hitmakers Netflix, streaming now Twelve top songwriters and producers come together at high-stakes music camps to create hits for stars like John Legend, Shaboozey, and Lisa of Blackpink — revealing the creative tension and breakthroughs behind the music-making process (for humans).
