She plays conductor Lydia Tár, whose efforts to prepare for a forthcoming performance are disrupted by an investigation into her links to a troubled music student. Dept. Q Netflix, streaming now DCI Carl Morck may be an excellent investigator, but there's no hiding from the fact that he's a terrible co-worker. There's the small matter of his scathing sarcasm, which has left him without a single friend in the Edinburgh police force. Then there's the rather more serious issue of him having fatally shot a young officer and permanently injured his partner. Unsurprisingly enough, following this tragic turn of events, Morck is relegated to Department Q: a cold-case unit which was created as a publicity stunt. Although the force is thrilled to see Carl go, he soon sets about assembling a group of outcasts who are all keen to prove themselves. Yes, it does sound a bit like Slow Horses, which is quite the gauntlet for Netflix to throw. Only time will tell if it's worthy of comparison. With yer man from Leap Year (Matthew Goode) essentially playing a hybrid of Gary Oldman's Jackson Lamb and Jack Lowden's River Cartwright, I wouldn't hold my breath. Bono: Stories of Surrender Apple TV+, streaming now Behold Bono's one-man stage show, exploring the personal experiences that have shaped him as a son, father, husband and activist. Oh, and as one of the planet's biggest rock stars. If Owen Wilson's signature shtick is more to your liking, The Stick lands Wednesday. Good Boy Prime Video, streaming now In order to combat crime in a perilous underworld, a group of former medal-winning athletes exchange the podium for police badges.

Based on Alafair Burke's novel, however, this eight-part thriller attempts to turn things. When media executive Chloe (Jessica Biel) and her estranged sister Nicky (Elizabeth Banks) are reunited after a murder, they must unravel long-buried family secrets to uncover the truth. A Widow's Game Netflix, streaming now Picture it: August 2017. In a Valencia parking lot, a man is found stabbed seven times. The city's Homicide Group, led by a veteran inspector, races to solve the case, which appears to be a crime of passion.

What time is Cork v Kerry on today in the All-Ireland SFC and is it on TV?
Cork let a glorious opportunity slip when they had Kerry in all sorts of bother in last month's Munster semi-final and it's unlikely they'll be granted the same leeway again. Their failure to take anything from Meath means that this doesn't even carry the status of a free shot for them. Kerry will be cranking things up for the business end of the Championship at this stage and, while Cork may come out strong, they'll burn them off eventually. Verdict: Kerry Where is the game being played? The game is being played at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Cork. What time is throw-in? Throw in is at 4.45pm. Can I watch the game on TV? No, the game is not live on television but there will be highlights on The Saturday Game on RTÉ 2 at 10.50pm tonight. Is the game being streamed online? Yes, the game will be streamed live on GAA+. Betting Odds: Cork: 6/1 Draw: 12/1 Kerry: 1/7

What time is Roscommon v Meath on today in the All-Ireland SFC and is it on TV?
With Kerry in this group, it was always likely to be a battle for the remaining two spots and the winner here will go a long way towards nailing down second. Roscommon barely fired a shot in Killarney and were likely placing more emphasis on this game, which is absolutely must-win. Meath made an important statement against Cork after losing the Leinster final but probably lack the consistency to go to Hyde Park and win. Verdict: Roscommon Where is the game being played? The game is being played at Dr Hyde Park in Roscommon. What time is throw-in? Throw in is at 6pm. Can I watch the game on TV? No, the game is not live on television but there will be highlights on The Saturday Game on RTÉ 2 at 10.50pm tonight. Is the game being streamed online? No, the game will not be streamed. Betting Odds: Roscommon: 10/11 Draw: 7/1 Meath: 6/5

Team news: Captain Katie McCabe starts in Turkey
Captain Katie McCabe starts for the Republic of Ireland in this evening's Nations League clash against Turkey (6pm ko, live on RTÉ2), six days after helping Arsenal to a famous Champions League final triumph. McCabe only linked up with the Ireland camp in Istanbul on Wednesday. The 29-year-old had been given permission to arrive later as she soaked up the celebrations in the aftermath of the Gunners' 1-0 defeat of Barcelona. Boss Carla Ward said on Thursday that McCabe was keen to go straight into the action for her country, and she does indeed get the nod at left-back as the Girls in Green look to keep alive their hopes of winning League B Group 2. Amber Barrett keeps her place up top, meaning Kyra Carusa - who missed the 2-1 win against Greece - has to settle for a place on the bench. Barrett, hugely admired by Ward, will be flanked by Lucy Quinn and Abbie Larkin in the wide areas, with Lazio's Megan Connolly returning to the starting XI after she missed the double-header against the Greeks with an injury. Connolly's inclusion means there's no room for Tyler Toland or Ruesha Littlejohn, while Marissa Sheva retains her place alongside Denise O'Sullivan in the engine room. McCabe is the only change to the back four as Jessie Stapleton, Anna Patten and Aoife Mannion line up in front of goalkeeper Courtney Brosnan. The Girls in Green realistically need a win to keep alive their hopes of topping Group 2 and earning promotion back to League A. They welcome Slovenia to SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Tuesday for the last game of their Nations League campaign. Ireland beat Turkey 1-0 at Tallght Stadium in February thanks to Kyra Carusa's first-half header.
