Cutting edge science plays a huge part in this docuseries, in part because (as he revealed in the first season of "Limitless") it helped reveal that he has inherited two copies of the APOE4 gene, one from his mother and one from his father, which makes it eight to ten times likelier for him to eventually develop Alzheimer's disease than the general population.
He wants to prevent this, live a healthy life as long as possible and, in the meantime, show us how to do the same. Consequently, he learns how to play the drums before appearing with Ed Sheeran in front of 70,000 fans (learning a new skill being an excellent work out for the brain) and takes on a 600-foot climbing wall in the Swiss Alps to demonstrate risk and how to approach it.
For fans of watching rich celebrities suffering, in episode three he joins the training camp of the South Korean Special Forces to experience varying degrees of pain and learn how to deal with it. And yes, of course, he takes his top off wherever possible but if you can put up with that then there might be a message at the end of this docuseries that's worth holding on to.

Apple TV Plus's new historical drama is the best show you're (probably) not watching — and it's 93% on Rotten Tomatoes

I appreciate everyone's probably busy streaming the likes of "Wednesday" and "Alien: Earth" right now, but I have another show I want to shout about: Apple TV Plus' new epic historical drama, "Chief of War." Pitched as a passion project for co-creators Thomas Pa'a Sibbett and Jason Momoa, the series is a dramatic look back at Hawaiian history, and has even invited comparisons to Hulu's own acclaimed epic, "Shogun." I've been looking forward to "Chief of War" ever since the teaser trailer dropped back in May. At the time of writing, we're now three episodes into the season, and I'm pleased to report that I am totally locked in on the series so far. Save for a couple of breakout hits ("Severance", "Ted Lasso", "Slow Horses"), Apple TV Plus is home to plenty of underseen shows, and I don't want "Chief of War" to be one of them. So if this is the first time you're hearing about "Chief of War", here's a little bit more info about the new show, and why I think you should stream "Chief of War" on Apple TV Plus now. "Chief of War" is based-on-true-events drama about the origins of Hawai'i and its people, one that recounts the unification and colonisation of the region at the turn of the 18th century. Try Apple TV Plus free for seven days! Try Apple TV Plus free for one week and sample episodes of "Chief of War" and much, much more. The series follows warrior Ka'iana (Jason Momoa) as he sets out to unite his homeland in the midst of a fearsome power struggle that erupts between the four kingdoms. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. The series is performed by a predominantly Polynesian cast, which, alongside Momoa, also features Temuera Morrison, Luciane Buchanan, Te Ao o Hinepehinga, Cliff Curtis, Kaina Makua, Moses Goods, Siua Ikale'o, Brandon Finn, James Udom, Mainei Kinimaka, Te Kohe Tuhaka, and Benjamin Hoetjes. "Chief of War" is an impressively realized story that I have both been gripped by and that I've relished getting lost in. So far, it has proven to be a series with intrigue and serious forward momentum. Easily the show's biggest boon is not its beautiful scenery or its drama, but Momoa himself. He is turning in what I think is his most impressive performance to date. If you crave action, "Chief of War" is most definitely for you. It's brutal brawls and chases have been captivating showcases of both sheer brawn, but also of a steady hand behind the camera, thanks to both the physical prowess on display, and the cinematic staging the series boasts. Easily the show's biggest boon is not its beautiful scenery or its drama, but Momoa himself. As the multi-hyphenate co-creator, exec producer, director, and star at the center of the show, he's more than successful. The show's assured, and he is turning in what I think is his most impressive performance to date. I'm judging the series without seeing the entire season, but what I've seen of "Chief of War" so far has me impatiently waiting for Fridays to roll around just to see where we go next. It's immersive, gripping television. It's not just me who recommends "Chief of War," either: the series currently holds a 93% score on the review aggregator, Rotten Tomatoes, with a consensus that reads: "Starring Jason Momoa at his ferocious best, "Chief of War" is a brutal epic that recreates Native Hawaiian history with commendable authenticity." In his 3-star review of the season, Empire critic David Opie conceded that the 'plotting somewhat meanders' and that the show 'feels admirable but with something still to prove,' but nevertheless praises the commitment to authenticity and the 'grandiose battles'. Variety's Aramide Tinubu praises the show as "a majestic and immersive story about rebels, home and allegiance" and highlights the series' "highly textured" feel from the costumes and dialogue through to its visuals. Bottom line: if you're looking to be swept up in a bold new drama, one that boasts compelling characters and truly thrilling combat, then you need to stream "Chief of War" on Apple TV Plus. At the time of publication, four episodes are available, with the remaining five set to air on Fridays through to the series finale on September 19.

3 underrated Amazon Prime Video movies you should watch this weekend (August 15-17)

Whenever I open Amazon Prime Video, I'm both overwhelmed and have the sensation that Amazon is recommending the same movies to me repeatedly. That combination of emotions is a frustrating one, as it leaves you with few answers in terms of what you should watch that's new. That's why I've pulled together a list of three more unlikely titles that you should stream this weekend, each of which is underrated for one reason or another. Recommended Videos We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, and the best movies on Amazon Prime Video. C'mon C'mon (2021) Joaquin Phoenix is capable of delivering performances in a wide array of registers, and C'mon C'mon is one of the quietest in his long history as an actor. Phoenix plays an emotionally distant radio journalist who must care for his nephew. As the two of them travel the country and learn more about one another, we discover that emotional maturity doesn't necessarily pair with physical maturity. C'mon C'mon is heartbreaking and beautiful, leaving some things unsaid. It's a subtle, grounded movie that feels all the more impactful because it's so quiet. You can watch C'mon C'mon on Amazon Prime Video. Black Bear (2020) Aubrey Plaza has become one of our most reliably strange movie stars in the years since Parks and Recreation ended, and Black Bear is one of her most fascinating projects. The film follows Plaza as a filmmaker who is stuck in a creative rut and travels to a remote lake house in an attempt to spark some inspiration. As she begins to manipulate her hosts, though, she realizes that the best piece of art might be one about what she's currently doing to the people around her. Black Bear is an intriguing movie about the lengths people will go to to do something truly interesting. You can watch Black Bear on Amazon Prime Video. Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father (2008) A great documentary experience can be unlike almost anything else you can stream, and Dear Zachary provides viewers with exactly that kind of pleasure. The film tells the story of a young boy born in Canada to a mother that fled the United States after she killed his father. As his father's family campaigns to gain custody of their grandchild and convict the woman who killed him, we learn who his father was and the kind of impact he had on those around him. Dear Zachary is a heartbreaking movie born of unspeakable circumstances, but one that will leave you both thrilled and deeply emotional. You can watch Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father on Amazon Prime Video.

And Just Like That gives Carrie Bradshaw a weirdly perfect ending

is a senior correspondent who explains what society obsesses over, from Marvel and movies to fitness and skin care. He came to Vox in 2014. Prior to that, he worked at The Atlantic. And just like that, Carrie Bradshaw is single again. For the last three seasons, fans have watched TV's greatest anti-heroine begin an entire new set of adventures. After HBO original Sex and the City ended in 2004 (followed by the fun 2008 film of the same name and its not-so-fun 2010 sequel), And Just Like That picked up in 2021 with Carrie's happily ever after. The most fabulous woman in Manhattan seemed to have everything she's ever wanted: a loving marriage to her Mr. Big (Chris Noth), a condo on Fifth Avenue, financial security beyond her wildest dreams, and a truly gigantic closet. But no one is immune to late life's indignities, apparently not even Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker). In the show's often-clunky style, Carrie faced a series of dismal realities. She became a widow; she hosted a podcast; she left behind her beloved apartment for a beautiful but strangely empty Gramercy Park brownstone. She wasted a bunch of her (and the audience's) time on an ill-fated attempt at rekindling her romance with the country Lurch known as Aidan Shaw (John Corbett). Money remained a non-issue for Carrie, but the show often reminded us that not even immense amounts of wealth could insulate you from life's dishonors. In the series finale — which showrunner Michael Patrick King abruptly announced at the beginning of August — Carrie finds herself at a place not unlike when we first met her in that pilot episode years ago: single, in heels, living in Manhattan, bolstered by her friends, but wondering if there's love left in the Greatest City on Earth. It's not the fairytale ending. But Carrie's story ending by herself feels true. Truer, even. The original show wrapped with true love for all of its heroines, but something felt off. The real point of Sex and the City was always Carrie's relationships with Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), Charlotte (Kristin Davis), and Samantha (the now-absent Kim Cattrall). While And Just Like That has been criticized for its tone and poor writing (one secondary character was seemingly killed off twice), it managed to give Carrie Bradshaw an ending that captured the daring admission of the original: that being lucky in love is good, but being lucky in friendship is everything. And Just Like That's surprise Thanksgiving from hell From urinating on themselves, to getting roasted on stage by their nonbinary comedian ex, to dying on a Peloton, the characters of And Just Like That seemingly exist only to be humiliated. In King's world, life after 40 is nothing but a gauntlet of perverse embarrassments. The continued indignities of aging — so imaginatively bleak that death starts to seem like a sweet release — have turned And Just Like That into a show that people resent, criticize, and demand 17 more seasons of. One cannot fathom the horrors Carrie, Charlotte, and Miranda will face each week, usually centered on their bodies betraying them or being left behind by a world that deems them too old. Each new mortification feels shocking, sacrilegious to the show's glamorous predecessor. At the same time, there's kind of a perverse glee in watching how deranged it all can get. What do you mean Carrie had hip replacement surgery and, in a temporary state of medicated paralysis, was left to listen helplessly as her coworker passionately throttled Miranda's lower half like a rotary phone in the other room? Charlotte battling a bout of vertigo and falling into an art installation with fake ejaculate cannot be real, can it? Miranda had sex with a virgin nun played by Rosie O'Donnell? What is a person supposed to say to that… okay??? Unfortunately for Carrie, she endures one final degradation in the series finale: Miranda's Thanksgiving. In the world of AJLT, a beloved American holiday about remembering the things we're grateful for unfurls into a nightmare. Everyone but Carrie has bailed on Miranda's get-together, staying with their own husbands and families. Since Carrie possesses neither, she has to witness a trainwreck that includes raw turkey, a clogged toilet and brown fecal water, an Italian greyhound emergency at the vet, the future mother of Miranda's grandchild and her obnoxious friends, and a failed, surprise set-up attempt. Eating with a giant doll is one of the small humiliations that a single woman like Carrie Bradshaw must endure on And Just Like That. Craig Blankenhorn/HBO Max There's a heavy-handed point to all this misery. This gathering is a crystallization of Carrie's future. In this era of her life, Carrie Bradshaw is single, and if she doesn't want to spend Thanksgiving alone, she might have to endure a few lousy ones at the hands of her friends. It all comes around to the bigger question: What if Carrie's future does not include one more love? Is that okay? 'I have to quit thinking maybe a man, and start accepting maybe just me,' she tells Charlotte. 'And it's not a tragedy.' Having survived a holiday radiating such dark, melancholic energy, Carrie taps out. Going home alone isn't such a hardship, though. She returns to her gorgeous mansion to eat pie in heels. For her, it's heaven. After all, this is the woman who professed to find true joy in tearing open a sleeve of saltines and smearing a sliver of grape jelly on each one, while reading an entire issue of Vogue standing up. What Carrie has is actually the furthest thing from tragic, rather, something much more thrilling — something that the original show should have considered. And Just Like That dared to give Carrie and ending that Sex and the City didn't The most frustrating thing about Sex and the City is how its ending betrayed the show's heart and soul. For six seasons, the show touted the revolutionary concept that its heroines — Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda, and Samantha — just needed each other. SATC was unafraid to imagine that female friendship could be more powerful, more enduring, and more satisfying than romantic love. 'Don't laugh at me,' Charlotte tells her best friends in season four. 'But maybe we can be each other's soulmates.' The idea of soulmates has largely been framed as romantic good fortune, the notion that the universe has picked out lives meant to be lived together, if only these hopeful lovers can find one another. SATC offered a more optimistic reimagining, a theory that our best friends are the true matches we should be so lucky to find in this world. Despite the show's title, sex and love were never really part of the show's fairytale. Men were often terrible, rarely lasting more than an episode. Sex was rarely sexy, more often skewered than celebrated. It's sort of a shame then, at the end of the series, that these four soulmates all end up married to or are exclusively committed to men nowhere near as magical as they are. Miranda marries Steve (David Eigenberg), and opens up their home to his mother. Charlotte converts to Judaism, marries Harry (Evan Handler), and they adopt a baby from China. Samantha beats cancer and asks for a monogamous relationship with Smith Jerrod (Jason Lewis). Carrie leaves her callous Russian boyfriend (Mikhail Baryshnikov) for Big, and returns to New York with the man she's been chasing all these years. Maybe Carrie Bradshaw never needed a man for a happy ending. Craig Blankenhorn/HBO Max We're meant to see these as happy, fulfilled endings — even though our main characters were all essentially separated from one another. The relationships they nurtured through some of their worst moments — Carrie's heartbreaks, Miranda's mother dying, Samantha's cancer, Charlotte's divorce — were pushed aside to accommodate men. The show told us over and over that these friends could have a fulfilled life with just each other, but it didn't seem to truly believe its own revolutionary message. As clumsy as AJLT was at times, it had a better sense of what the original show meant. Carrie finally stumbled upon the realization that her life never needed marriage, romantic love, or maybe even sex, to be fabulously beautiful. Surely, these things don't hurt, but they were never the heart of the matter. Decades later, but never too late, Carrie finally got the ending she and her friends told us to believe in.
