4 d. ago Black Rabbit to High Potential: the seven best shows to stream this week

Jude Law and Jason Bateman are brothers in deep trouble in a snappy, fast-talking thriller, and the return of Kaitlin Olson’s lovably sweet crime drama. Plus: the new adult animation from the makers of Rick and Morty!Not so much Black Rabbit as Black Sheep, as Jude Law’s New York bar-restaurant owner Jake finds his business, and eventually life, turned upside down by the sudden reappearance of his no-good brother Vince (Jason Bateman). Jake is just about getting by, running the titular nightspot and looking to take it upmarket – as we meet him, he’s sweating on the verdict of a prominent food critic. But Vince has a target on his back: he owes money to bad people and Jake is his last resort. It’s snappy, fast-talking trash but with an undercurrent of fraternal tenderness that lends it a dimension beyond the generic – Jake may not want his brother in his world but he doesn’t want to throw him to the wolves either. Netflix, from Thursday 18 September Continue reading...

Overnight raid kills more than a dozen people as European leaders condemn ‘deliberate’ targeting of civilians and institutionsUkrainian prime minister Yulia Svyrydenko has now responded to the overnight Russian attacks on Kyiv, criticising Moscow for “horrific and deliberate killing of civilians.”“The Russians are not choosing to end the war, only constant expansion of atrocities,” she said.“Overnight in Kyiv, dozens of buildings were hit: residential houses, office centers, civilian enterprises.
