Today's top TV and streaming picks: From that Small Island, Saltburn and The Waterfront
The Sunday Game Live RTÉ2, 1.30pm Joanne Cantwell is at Croke Park to present all the action from this afternoon's Tailteann Cup semi-finals. Highlights can be seen later in the day at 9.30pm. From that Small Island RTÉ One, 6.30pm Attention turns to the first Irish diaspora, which ran from 1600 to 1700, a time when thousands of emigrants left the country in search of new lives in continental Europe. The final episode follows John Gallagher's exploration of his surname. He begins by hearing about the family's mention in the Guinness Book of Records before meeting Dr Pádraig Ó Liatháin, who introduces him to The Gallagher Family Commonplace Book, a collection of Irish legends, prayers, poems and recipes. The Gold BBC One, 9pm The drama's final two episodes air this week. Boyce comes face-to-face with an old enemy, just as the police think they're about to make a breakthrough. Later, a Spanish manhunt gets under way, just as a trial begins in London. Skyfall RTÉ One, 9.30pm Arguably the best of Daniel Craig's James Bond outings sees 007 on the trail of a mysterious criminal mastermind, a hunt that becomes very close to home indeed. Javier Bardem plays the villain, with Judi Dench making her last appearance as M. ADVERTISEMENT Saltburn BBC One, 10.30pm Superb black comedy-thriller from writer and director Emerald Fennell. Barry Keoghan plays a working-class student who develops an unhealthy obsession with an aristocratic classmate (Jacob Elordi). Rosamund Pike and Carey Mulligan co-star. Murderer Behind The Mask Prime Video, streaming now True crime isn't just the purview of Netflix, you know, and this Prime Video offering about Elaine O'Hara and Graham Dwyer hits particularly close to home. It highlights how An Garda Síochana meticulously pieced together the truth, turning an overlooked case into one of Ireland's most haunting murder trials. Back in September 2013, the remains of childcare worker O'Hara were discovered in the Dublin mountains. Initially believed to be a suicide, her case took a twisted tangent when fishermen stumbled upon crucial evidence leading to Dwyer, a respected architect who lived in Foxrock with his wife and kids. Beneath his carefully crafted facade lurked a secret life fuelled by a dark stabbing obsession, revealed through his disturbing text exchanges with O'Hara. Over the course of two 45-minute instalments, this Wag Entertainment-produced series purports to uncover how the investigation unfolded and the tragic story behind Elaine's murder. The Waterfront Netflix, streaming now From the makers of Dawson's Creek and Scream, we have this deliciously ridiculous number inspired by true events. It centres on the Buckley family, who have ruled Havenport, North Carolina, for decades. Now, with their patriarch, Harlan (Holt McCallany), recovering from multiple heart attacks (not helped by his predilection for impromptu punching sessions with his son), they resort to drug smuggling courtesy of a surprising face (belonging to Topher Grace). For more glossy, far-fetched US drama, season three of Manifest is available from Monday. The Buccaneers AppleTV+, streaming now Apple's answer to Bridgerton (but with bonus Americans) is here with its second season. Grenfell: Uncovered Netflix, streaming now Exploring the events leading up to the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire, this heart-rendering documentary reveals decisions by businesses and government that contributed to the tragedy. Somebody Feed Phil Netflix, streaming now This time, Phil visits Amsterdam, Tbilisi, Sydney, Adelaide, Manila, Vegas, Guatemala, San Sebastián and Boston, while enjoying a spot of bone gnawing with Ray Romano and Brad Garrett along the way. The Many Deaths of Nora Dalmasso Netflix, streaming now She wasn't rich, famous, or part of the swinger set. Rather 'a symbol of what happens to those who stray from the patriarchal mould'. In other unsolved murder documentaries on Netflix, we have I'm Your Venus, landing on Monday.

Anthony Daly: Cork stumble forward...just as they'd like it
After watching the Dublin-Galway match outside the TV box in Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Sunday, Joanne Cantwell, Jackie Tyrrell, Joe Canning and myself made our way up to the box in front of the city end terrace in Páirc Ui Chaoimh just before the throw-in. The place was packed but the atmosphere felt strange, almost weird - muted, pensive, like everyone was a little on edge. The place was splashed in red but it was if the ground was draped in grey.
