Leaving Neverland

Channel: M-Net (DStv 101)
TX Time: 21h00
Genre: Documentary

Leaving Neverland

Directed and produced by five-time BAFTA-winner Dan Reed, the four-hour long Leaving Neverland unpacks the story of two individuals: James Safechuck and Wade Robson, now-adult men in their 30s, who befriended Michael Jackson at the ages of 10 and seven respectively.

Through gut-wrenching interviews with Safechuck and Robson, as well as their mothers, wives and siblings, Leaving Neverland crafts a portrait of sustained abuse, and explores the complicated feelings that led both men to confront their experiences after both had a young son of their own.

Playing out against the backdrop of our collective experience, the film documents the value of breaking silence, even when it implicates a powerful and revered figure.
 

Turn Up Charlie

Channel: Netflix South Africa
TX Time: 10h00 (all episodes)
Genre: Comedy

Turn Up Charlie

Revolves around the titular Charlie (Idris Elba), a struggling DJ and eternal bachelor, who is given a final chance at success when he reluctantly becomes a 'manny' to his famous best friend's problem-child daughter, Gabby.

Spoiled and savvy, Gabby is wise beyond her years. Neglected by her career-driven parents, Gabby pushes the boundaries - and the sanity of her nannies - to the extreme, in order to get her mum and dad's attention.

Her spiky retorts, mischievous adventures and epic tantrums hide a lonely young girl with a distorted view of reality.
 

Heart of Darkness

Heart of Darkness

True, heart-stopping stories where love descends into its darkest place. Jealousy, betrayal, desire, lust, revenge and anger reach deadly breaking points, causing individuals to snap and commit unthinkable crimes.

From the cold-blooded murder of a young war veteran after marrying his childhood sweetheart, to the untimely death of brilliant young mother, the series peels back the layers of these chilling cases to reveal how lovers, jealous friends, scorned sons and daughters, and devoted family members turn into killers.

Each episode examines the nature of betrayal, delving into how and why one might cross the line from love to hate. And, like any great mystery, who did it and why is what you least expect.
