Kids Like Us

Channel: TLC Entertainment (DStv 135)
TX Time: 20h00
Genre: Documentary

Kids Like Us

Kids Like Us is a documentary feature which hopes to fundamentally change the way we view paediatric cancer and the issues that surround it.

The 90-minute film follows the extraordinary lives of eight remarkable young people from across the UK and US.

The cast are all disarmingly funny, brutally frank, astute and incredibly wise beyond their years, and they all share one thing in common: the reality of navigating life after a cancer diagnosis.

Throughout the film the children narrate their own stories, and interview each other about their shared experiences in a manner that is engaging and relatable and packed full of the type of humour you'd expect from a bunch of typically mischievous and cheeky everyday kids.

Above all, Kids Like Us is a deeply honest and eye-opening portrayal of the reality of their lives.

Carrie Preston stars as Elsbeth Tascioni, an astute but unconventional attorney who utilises her singular point of view to make unique observations and corner brilliant criminals alongside the NYPD.

Working alongside Elsbeth is Officer Kaya Blanke (Carra Patterson), a stoic and ethical officer who quickly develops an appreciation for Elsbeth's insightful and offbeat ways.

Season 2 brings new cases and challenges when mistakes of the past come back to haunt Elsbeth, her boss Captain Wagner and detective in training Kaya Blanke.

In the Season 2 premiere, "Subscription to Murder": When a womanising finance executive is found stabbed to death after a night at the opera, Elsbeth suspects an obsessed opera lover was driven to murder because of a ringing cellphone.

Meanwhile, Elsbeth, Wagner and Kaya must adjust to changes in the precinct as the consequences of Noonan's wrongdoing continue to loom.
