TV weekly must watch
We have lined up some great shows you should keep an eye out for this week. The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe tell the real-life story of how John Darwin faked his own death to claim life insurance and avoid bankruptcy.
Start with a realtor reality show that features buyers and sellers of a desirable property and the arising conflicts between them. Then watch an extraordinary story of how a prison officer faked his own death to claim life insurance and avoid bankruptcy. Or follow a lawyer specialising in cases involving superhumans who also happen to be a green superpowered hulk.
A fresh set of realtors square off, competing to establish themselves at The Oppenheim Group’s second office on the Orange County coast. Will the pressure prove too much for these agents to handle? Find out in Selling The OC, from August 24 on Netflix.
The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe tell the real-life story of how John Darwin faked his own death to claim life insurance and avoid bankruptcy, while Anne Darwin became complicit in her husband’s deception. Anne set about convincing the world, their family and friends, the police and insurance companies that he had gone missing in 2002 while canoeing, but the deception increasingly took its toll on her as she continued to lie to their devastated sons while her husband secretly lived in a bedsit next door – hiding in plain sight – until eventually, their massive fraud was uncovered. From August 23 on BritBox.
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law is a nine-episode half-hour legal comedy that finally takes us back to the world of the Hulk. We’re following Jennifer Walters as she tries to balance life as a lawyer and her newly discovered superpowers. Watch it now on Disney+.
