Screen Queen TV Reviews: Dept. Q, The Quilters, And Just Like That . . . and Pee-wee As Himself
There are few television shows that have as fond a place in my heart as British crime drama The Bill. Growing up, it was a staple in our house and, quite honestly, I've struggled to find anything to plug its hole since it was unceremoniously yanked from screens back in 2010.
Don't get me wrong, there have been plenty of great police series in recent years — Apple TV's excellent Slow Horses and the darkly brilliant Happy Valley spring to mind — but The Bill hit different. Though it took a crime-of-the-week format, the ever-revolving detectives were always brilliantly cast, and over seasons and years I felt as though I knew them personally.
My favourites were the crotchety-but-clever detectives — DCI Jack Meadows, played by Simon Rouse, and DCI Frank Burnside (Christopher Michael Ellison) were top tier — but I also loved the rank and file, particularly Sgt June Ackland (Trudie Goodwin).
Which brings me to Dept. Q, a new series from the writer of The Queen's Gambit, based on the novels of the same name by Danish author Jussi Adler-Olsen.
I can't tell you much about this new police series as there's an embargo in place, but I will say this: the central character in this Scottish series, DCI Carl Morck (played by Matthew Goode) has big Bill energy. He's rumpled, cranky, and fighting his own inner demons (his police partner and friend was shot in front of him not long ago, and he's still reeling from the fallout). It makes him perfect 'TV detective' fodder.
Morck has been given the job of overseeing a newly formed cold case department, the titular Department Q, which he's running from a dank basement in the bowels of the Edinburgh police station. He assembles a not-so-crack team to help him sort through files, and the case they're assigned ends up being the through-line of the series.
I'm genuinely excited for you all to see this. And TV execs, if you're reading this: bring back The Bill!
My Netflix algorithm knows me better than I know myself. It's been recommending I watch this doco, about a group of prison inmates in the US who are part of a quilting program, for days now. Eventually, curiosity got the better of me and I dipped in — and loved it! Even better, at only 30 minutes long, it also ticked my Early Night criteria box. Who knew watching a bunch of inmates make quilts for foster kids could be such a wholesome and life-affirming experience? Netflix did. And I thank them for that.
Look, haters gonna hate. But I'm going to continue to watch Carrie Bradshaw and her postmenopausal besties traverse this next stage of their lives. The new series drops this week and — good news! — Che Diaz is nowhere to be seen. Thank heavens for that.
Nadya Suleman is the Californian woman who gave birth to octuplets back in 2009 — unbelievably she was already mum to six other kids. This doco series explores her, ahem, life choices. She's not who you think she is.
I absolutely adore Paul Reubens and his comic creation, Pee-wee Herman — I was genuinely devastated when he passed away in 2023. This documentary, which was filmed before Reuben's death and uses personal archive footage from the star, gives an insight into who the comedian actually was. Or does it? Fans will be fascinated.

Trump has long speculated about using force against his own people. Now he has the pretext to do so
"You just [expletive] shot the reporter!" Australian journalist Lauren Tomasi was in the middle of a live cross, covering the protests against the Trump administration's mass deportation policy in Los Angeles, California. As Tomasi spoke to the camera, microphone in hand, an LAPD officer in the background appeared to target her directly, hitting her in the leg with a rubber bullet. Earlier, reports emerged that British photojournalist Nick Stern was undergoing emergency surgery after also being hit by the same "non-lethal" ammunition. The situation in Los Angeles is extremely volatile. After nonviolent protests against raids and arrests by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents began in the suburb of Paramount, US President Donald Trump issued a memo describing them as "a form of rebellion against the authority of the government of the United States". He then deployed the National Guard. As much of the coverage has noted, this is not the first time the National Guard has been deployed to quell protests in the US. In 1970, members of the National Guard shot and killed four students protesting the war in Vietnam at Kent State University. In 1992, the National Guard was deployed during protests in Los Angeles following the acquittal of four police officers (three of whom were white) in the severe beating of a Black man, Rodney King. Trump has long speculated about violently deploying the National Guard and even the military against his own people. During his first administration, at the height of the Black Lives Matter protests, former Secretary of Defence Mark Esper alleged that Trump asked him, "Can't you just shoot them, just shoot them in the legs or something?" Trump has also long sought to other those opposed to his radical agenda to reshape the United States and its role in the world. He's classified them as "un-American" and, therefore, deserving of contempt and, when he deems it necessary, violent oppression. During last year's election campaign, he promised to "root out the communists, Marxists, fascists and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country". Even the Washington Post characterised this description of Trump's "political enemies" as "echoing Hitler, Mussolini". In addition, Trump has long peddled baseless conspiracies about "sanctuary cities", such as Los Angeles. He has characterised them as lawless havens for his political enemies and places that have been "invaded" by immigrants. As anyone who has ever visited these places knows, that is not true. It is no surprise that in the same places Trump characterises as "disgracing our country", there has been staunch opposition to his agenda and ideology. That opposition has coalesced in recent weeks around the activities of ICE agents, in particular. These agents, wearing masks to conceal their identities, have been arbitrarily detaining people, including US citizens and children, and disappearing people off the streets. They have also arrested caregivers, leaving children alone. As Adam Serwer wrote in The Atlantic during the first iteration of Trump in America, "the cruelty is the point". The Trump administration's mass deportation program is deliberately cruel and provocative. It was always only a matter of time before protests broke out. In a democracy, nonviolent protest by hundreds or perhaps a few thousand people in a city of 10 million is not a crisis. But it has always suited Trump and the movement that supports him to manufacture crises. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, a key architect of the mass deportations program and a man described by a former adviser as "Waffen SS", called the protests "an insurrection against the laws and sovereignty of the United States". Trump himself also described protesters as "violent, insurrectionist mobs". Nowhere does the presidential memo deploying the National Guard name the specific location of the protests. This, and the extreme language coming out of the administration, suggests it is laying the groundwork for further escalation. The administration could be leaving space to deploy the National Guard in other places and invoke the Insurrection Act. Incidents involving the deployment of the National Guard are rare, though politically cataclysmic. It is rarer still for the National Guard to be deployed against the wishes of a democratically elected leader of a state, as Trump has done in California. This deployment comes at a time of crisis for US democracy more broadly. Trump's longstanding attacks against independent media - what he describes as "fake news" - are escalating. There is a reason that during the current protests, a law enforcement officer appeared so comfortable targeting a journalist, on camera. The Trump administration is also actively targeting independent institutions such as Harvard and Columbia universities. It is also targeting and undermining judges and reducing the power of independent courts to enforce the rule of law. Under Trump, the federal government and its state-based allies are targeting and undermining the rights of minority groups - policing the bodies of trans people, targeting reproductive rights, and beginning the process of undoing the Civil Rights Act. Trump is, for the moment, unconstrained. Asked overnight what the bar is for deploying the Marines against protesters, Trump responded: "the bar is what I think it is". As New York Times columnist Jamelle Bouie recently observed:" We should treat Trump and his openly authoritarian administration as a failure, not just of our party system or our legal system, but of our Constitution and its ability to meaningfully constrain a destructive and system-threatening force in our political life." While the situation in Los Angeles is unpredictable, it must be understood in the broader context of the active, violent threat the Trump administration poses to the US. As we watch, American democracy teeters on the brink. This article was updated on June 9, 2025 to correct information about Rodney King. "You just [expletive] shot the reporter!"

Nikki Garcia's real life divorce was referenced in her WWE comeback
Liv Morgan mocked Nikki Garcia's divorce from Artem Chigvintsev during her WWE return. The 41-year-old WWE Hall of Famer - who is known in the wrestling world as Nikki Bella - made her comeback on last night's (09.06.25) episode of 'Monday Night Raw' on Netflix, and she had an in-character confrontation with the 31-year-old Women's Tag Team Champion. As part of the storyline, Liv interrupted Nikka's comeback speech and said: "You know what , Nikki? You're lucky. You're lucky I wasn't around during your career because I would've been champion and beaten you around then too. "But you know what? As I'm talking, I realise why you didn't mention me. You didn't mention me because you're jealous of me. "You're jealous of me because I have everything that you don't. I have respect, I have a championship, and I have a man!" Nikki fired back with comments about Liv's on-screen boyfriend Dominik Mysterio, before getting laid out in the middle of the ring. The scripted exchange - which appears to be setting up a match between the two superstars at 'WWE Evolution' on July 13 - was a reference to Nikki's real life split from her ex-husband Artem. Nikki and the former 'Dancing With The Stars' professional settled their divorce in November, three months after his domestic violence arrest - which was dropped with no charges - and last month she insisted she's not looking to date again at the moment. Speaking on SiriusXM's 'The Nikki and Brie Show', she said: "I really put myself out there in different situations, and went out of my comfort zone, whether it was with business on appearances, showing up, you know, packing the calendar, the schedule. "I did things that I learned lessons from, whether it worked or it didn't work, it was successful or not, I really put myself out there. "I went on some dates. Not ready for it yet, but I put myself out there. Tried it out. Not ready for it." Her twin sister Brie said she was "happy" her sibling tried to date again,. Nikki added: "[I] just wanted to get my feet a little wet and I just realized I'm not ready for this, but you know, I could have just stayed in hotel rooms and just, you know, on nights that would've been wrapped up at like 7pm. "I went and had some drinks and had conversations and realised that that's not what I want to do right now. Well, at least not date-wise."

Scream 7 star Mason Gooding added to Kevin Hart's Netflix comedy 72 Hours
Mason Gooding has been cast in Kevin Hart's comedy flick 72 Hours. The 28-year-old actor - who has played Ghostface in the Scream franchise since the 2022 eponymous flick - is attached to play the groom in the upcoming Netflix bachelor party film. Gooding will be joined by Saturday Night Live's Marcello Hernandez, who will be portraying the groom's best man and official bachelor party captain. 72 Hours follows Hart as a 40-year-old executive who joins a gang of twenty-somethings for a wild three-day bachelor party in Miami after being mistakenly added to their group chat. The film will see Hart reunite with his Ride Along director Tim Story, while Matt Mider, Kevin Burrows, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg pen the script. Variety reports 72 Hours is currently in production in Miami, and will be produced by Hart's production company Hartbeat, alongside Davis Entertainment. 72 Hours is being produced as part of a partnership between Sony Pictures and Netflix that was established in 2021, in which Sony gives Netflix the first look at any projects intended for streaming. Deadline previously suggested 72 Hours has become a high priority for Netflix since Hart and Story signed on, with the pair's involvement bringing new life to the project. Gooding will next be seen in Scream 7, where he will star opposite Mckenna Grace, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and Matthew Lillard as Chad Meeks-Martin, AKA Ghostface. The actor previously teased his killer would be 'the most brutal he's ever been' in the upcoming slasher - which is slated to hit cinemas in February 2026. In an interview with Variety, he said: 'It feels like an amplification of what's came before, and there's no better indication of that than Kevin Williamson, who wrote the original, coming back now to direct. 'I think that Ghostface is absolutely the most brutal he's been. I don't want to spoil anything, but there's some stuff that they do to the human body that I feel like Kevin is breaking new ground with.' The Heart Eyes star added viewers could be in for some stomach-churning scenes, describing Scream 7 as 'gross, but in a good way'. He explained: 'There was a prosthetic that sat in the makeup trailer that actually turned my stomach over. 'You'll know what I'm talking about when you see it, but it's incredible stuff. They really have an incredible effects team over there and they're working overtime.' Gooding is thrilled to work with Scream queen Neve Campbell, who is set to return as Sidney Prescott in the horror flick. He said: 'I get to work with Neve, who I didn't get a great opportunity to see and talk to on a personal level [on Scream 2022]. 'So in this case, even just getting to be around her feels like I'm getting part of that history and I feel better for it.'
