Star of no. 1 Netflix show told ‘not to read' the novels the thriller is based on
Matthew Goode has said he was told 'don't read' the crime novel series Department Q before taking on a Netflix show based on the books. The crime thriller is currently number on on Netflix, after only being released on Thursday. Matthew, a British actor, 47, known for fantasy show A Discovery Of Witches, and thriller Stoker, is playing a new version of Carl Morck, who was created by the Danish author Jussi Adler-Olsen. In the adaptation of the Nordic noir novels, the action moves from Copenhagen to the Scottish capital Edinburgh, and is directed and written by multiaward-winning Scott Frank, known for Netflix series The Queen's Gambit and superhero film Logan. (Image: Ian West/PA Wire) Carl is a former top-rated detective, who is full of 'guilt' after his partner is paralysed and another policeman dies in an attack, before being given a cold case. At a special screening of Netflix's Dept. Q at the Ham Yard Hotel in Soho, central London Goode told the PA news agency that Frank 'really freed me up' having it based in Scotland, rather than Denmark. He added: 'I don't think (making it in Denmark) would have fit this particularly well, it worked for (Swedish noir) Wallander (with Sir Kenneth Branagh). READ MORE: Netflix releases Stranger Things 5 trailer and confirms dates Matthew Goode and Teresa Palmer star in A Discovery Of Witches Fool Me Once is number 1 on Netflix 24 hours after it lands 'He (Scott) said to me, 'don't read the novels', because he also made me English, which made him (Carl) an outsider, and so I was able to develop with Scott a really brilliant sort of socio-political, economic, sort of history of what we thought this English version of Morck would be.' Goode, who previously worked with Frank on crime show The Lookout, said the creator and executive producer of the new show 'treats the audience like they are as intelligent as he is, which is staggeringly intelligent'. He added: 'It's a very taut, very dark, brilliant crime thriller with also a lot of levity. It's also very amusing, and one of Scott's pet hates is any kind of sentimentality. So it's a slow burn, but it unfurls itself beautifully.' Adler-Olsen's books about a cold case unit have been previously adapted into films including the 2010 Danish movies The Keeper Of Lost Causes, A Conspiracy Of Faith and The Absent One. When asked about the Netflix experience compared with the ones that have come before, the author said the previous movies were 'terrible, terrible in so many ways'. He said: 'It's all about screenwriting. It's all about manuscripts, and the manuscripts of the former films were like amateurs. 'So now we have the best writer in the world, that makes a difference so that's why I wasn't that happy about (it before).' Adler-Olsen also said he was 'looking forward' to seeing how the show changes, after moving to Edinburgh. Speaking about what he had seen so far, the author said: 'I'm astonished how in the world is the story turning this way, I can't believe it.' The cast also includes Scottish stars Shirley Henderson, known for playing Moaning Myrtle in the Harry Potter films and being in Bridget Jones's Diary, Mark Bonnar, who has been in detective shows Guilt and Shetland, as well as Swedish actor Alexej Manvelov.

Feeling down? TikTok says: Make a fan edit of yourself
Feeling bad about your appearance? Try making a fan edit of yourself. That's the latest advice circulating on TikTok, where users are cutting and stitching together dramatic clips of themselves to the tune of Rasheeda's 2006 track Got That Good. And it seems to work. One viral video, with 10 million views, has people hyping up the creator in the comments. 'WHO IS THAT DIVA?' one wrote. 'Chill out my bf is on this app,' another added. In another video, with 5.6 million views, the creator wrote, 'Feel ugly? Make an edit with yourself to boost your confidence.' Again, the internet responded with compliments, and many saying they are going to try the trend for themselves. 'This was my favorite activity as a high schooler,' one commented. 'Made one yesterday and can't stop looking at it,' another wrote. 'Hold on wait I'm gonna try this but I'm afraid it would raise my ego through the roof.' The trend is meant to boost creators' confidence by giving themselves a fan edit normally reserved for the likes of Harry Styles, Timothée Chalamet, and other beloved celebrities. Fan edits have long been a cornerstone of fandom and online culture. They are also an art form, with dramatic music, flashy transitions, and glowing filters that show the subjects at their most attractive and iconic. But why should celebrities be the only ones who get the fan-cam treatment? It's no secret that social media is a highlight reel. Yet even when we know Instagram is not real life, the constant exposure to filtered photos and curated feeds can take a toll on our self-image. Research backs this up. One 2021 study found that frequent Instagram use is linked to higher rates of body dissatisfaction, a stronger desire to be thin, and lower self-esteem among girls ages 14 to 24.

My grandmother's house burned down, and she moved in with us. At 23, I had to share a bed with my mom.
My 85-year-old grandmother lost her house to a tragic house fire. Since we didn't have an extra room, I slept with my mom so my grandmother could take my room. I learned it's important to make sacrifices for the ones you love. When it comes to sleeping, I'm rather picky. There needs to be complete darkness with no noise. Even the dim light of the television and the quiet laughter from the iconic television series "Friends" will turn the wheels in my brain, keeping me awake for hours. I was that kid at sleepovers who would call my mom in the middle of the night with a fake stomach ache, but not because I wasn't having fun or actually felt ill; I just wanted to sleep in my own bed. At 23 years old, living in my childhood home, I found comfort coming home to my room after a long day. Little did I know, after sleeping in the same room almost every night of my life, besides college and the few sleepovers I actually made it through, that I would be sleeping next to my mom for four months because of a tragic fire. The heavy rainfall sparked a flame under the electricity panel and shot up three stories through my grandmother's home of 61 years. Luckily, my 85-year-old grandmother — who we call Mammy — goes to bed later than her teenage grandchildren and had just finished watching the last episode of "Family Feud" at 2 AM. As she closed her eyes, she smelled smoke and called for help. While I sped across town to get my dad from work, my mom and sister watched a policeman evacuate her from the house in her nightgown and slippers. Tears and rain soaked our clothes as we watched a billowing fire rip through a house that had been in the family for generations. When the rain finally stopped, the house was unrecognizable. You could see the charred bed frame in the bedroom my grandparents shared years ago, with only rubble surrounding it. What wasn't ablaze was ruined by water damage seeping through the ceilings. Luckily, a few possessions remained intact, covered in black ash. A house filled with memories of blowing out birthday candles, passing the carved turkey, and making homemade banana pancakes on Sunday mornings was gone. My Mammy no longer had a home. Without hesitation or a timeline, my family took my Mammy in. Our house is comfortable for four people, but five is quite tight. We have three bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms. My father set up a twin bed in our unfinished basement, saying it was his new apartment. My sister's bed was too high for my Mammy to climb into, but my full-sized bed was the perfect height. So, I took up living quarters with my mom and let my Mammy sleep in my room — Harry Styles posters lining the wall and all. If you had told me that I'd be sleeping next to my mother at the age of 23, I would have laughed. She likes the television on; I do not. She keeps the door open a crack, exposing the slightest hint of light; I do not. It was often a battle for the remote, the covers, or the right side of the bed. I felt like a kid having a nightmare, going into their mom's room to sleep with her. And at the time, I did think this new reality was a nightmare. Now, it has become my biggest lesson. Every day, my parents remained as calm as one can be in such a situation. They navigated how to break the news to my confused Mammy that her house and many beloved possessions were gone. My parents served as an example of the daughter I strive to be as they get older. The pieces of our new life fell into place like the puzzles my family and I completed daily with my Mammy. We searched for words in crossword puzzles and watched hopeful contestants say "Deal or No Deal." My sister blew my Mammy's mind when she showed her that a burger and fries from McDonald's could arrive on our doorstep within minutes. Tucking her into my bed with a goodnight kiss is one of many moments I'll carry with me when the house fire fades as a distant flicker in my memory. Mammy now lives in an apartment across town, waiting for her house to be rebuilt. This has its own challenges, as she can't walk down the basement stairs to do laundry, and she didn't know how to use the new microwave for a while. However, despite the small bumps, we ensure her new environment feels just as her home once did. Over the four months, we laughed, joked, fought, and cried. When everything in the life of someone you love crumbles to ash, sharing a bed with your mom suddenly doesn't matter. Read the original article on Business Insider
