DMZ

DMZ leaps off the pages of the acclaimed DC graphic novel into the visual landscape of a dangerous and distorted Manhattan as one woman navigates a demilitarized zone in a harrowing quest to find her lost son.

Set in a near-future America, fractured by a Second Civil War, the story focuses on the titular DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) which is a ravaged Manhattan Island. No one goes in, no one comes out. But for medic Alma, who is desperate to find her missing son, it all comes down to her becoming a symbol of hope for the occupants trapped inside the DMZ. The future rests in her hands.

Stars Rosario Dawson, Venus Ariel, Benjamin Bratt

Streaming on HBO Max from 17 March.

Jeff Foxworthy: The Good Old Days

In his first solo stand-up special in 24 years, Jeff Foxworthy is remembering the good old days. Before cell phones diagnosed our illnesses, were used as cameras, kept us informed 24 hours a day, and before we had to have different passwords for everything. Jeff discusses parenting (your children and your parents), texting, the joy of getting a butt dial, conversations with his wife and recalls a much simpler time (or was it?).

Streams on Netflix from Tuesday, 22 March.
