G20 review – Viola Davis kicks ass in silly diplomatic hijack thriller
When a G20 summit is hijacked by highly trained mercenaries demanding the adoption of a global cryptocurrency (or something like that, it's not entirely clear), the US president risks life and limb to save the hostages and restore global order. Yep, we're deep into fantasy territory with this preposterous, dumb-as-rocks action picture. Redeeming it slightly is the consistently impressive Viola Davis, who takes the role of President Sutton – former marine, wife, mother and now leader of the free world – far more seriously than it deserves. As anyone who saw The Woman King will know, Davis has a formidable screen presence and serious action chops; for all its silliness, there's plenty of fun to be had watching her slaughter the bad guys amid a diplomatic hail of bullets and canapés.

Former Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague has confirmed that her docuseries, Molly-Mae: Behind It All, will be returning for a second series after the first six episodes dropped earlier this year Molly-Mae Hague has thrilled her followers with a huge announcement regarding the future of her reality series. The influencer returned to television screens in May last month with the second batch of three episodes from her six-part docuseries. Molly-Mae: Behind It All aired on Amazon Prime, following the initial three episodes released in January. In part two of the series, Molly-Mae opened up about rekindling her relationship with her former fiancé, Tommy Fury. It comes after the former Love Island star's unexpected separation last August. The mum-of-one, who shares two-year-old daughter Bambi with Tommy, shared a sneak peek of their reunion on social media as she commented on the reaction to the latest instalment of her documentary. Posting a photo of herself enjoying a relaxing weekend in the countryside, she expressed to her 8.5 million Instagram fans: "I'm so overwhelmed by the response to the last three episodes of 'Molly-Mae: Behind it all'. " Opening up again wasn't any easier than the first time... I was so nervous to share more but seeing how much it's resonated with people has meant everything to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.." She also teased her devoted fans by concluding her message with: "PS. Do you want more?" and has now confirmed that a second series of the Prime Video show is in production, hot on the heels of Tyson and Paris Fury's announcement of a second season for their Netflix reality show. Molly-Mae took to Instagram on Thursday where she shared a series of snaps surrounded by camera crews and filming equipment. She excitedly confirmed the sequel to her series, telling her followers: "My mood because it's filming day ONE for SERIES 2! ! ! @primevideouk I can't believe I'm saying this but because of all of your love and support with 'Molly-Mae: behind it all'... we are coming BACK with another series! Pinch me." The comments section quickly erupted with enthusiasm. One fan exclaimed: "YAYY ! So exciting - congrats Mol" and someone else chimed in: "Can't wait the first season was amazing." Another fan added: "Giving the people what they want." Someone else wrote: "Ahhh I'm so excited! !" while @haleyyyf responded: "Soooo happy for u! ! ! ! CONGRATS ANGEL. U deserve it all!." One follower posted: "YAYYY! this has made my week," and one fan said: "Omg! ! Can't wait." Some fans expressed their desires for more content. One fan mentioned: "Girllll we want an hours ep for each day of the week," and another follower demanded: "LOVE TO SEE IT! ! ! ! But need double the amount of episodes and double the length too! ! !". Someone else insisted: "These eps better be an hour long," while one fan suggested: "Please do more than 6 episodes especially if they're only going to be 30min episodes."
