Blindboy Undestroys The World

The plastic-bag wearing rapper of Rubberbandits fame launched his satirical prank show on iPlayer this week, gaining headlines when he persuaded thick-as-shit ‘influencers’ and reality stars including Lauren Goodyear to promote a fake drink containing deadly hydrogen cyanide to their followers for cash. Yes, it’s a bit Brass Eye, but that’s no bad thing.

Over the four episodes, he looks at anxiety, the dysfunctional world of work, modern slavery and how the internet killed reality.

The Death of Stalin

It’s previously been on Amazon Prime; now Netflix subscribers can get to watch Armando Iannucci's more-or-less historically accurate take on the succession battle in the Soviet Union following the brutal dictator's demise.

Dark comedy mixes with grim realities in a film that features universally strong performances, from Simon Russell Beale as the intense and sinister secret police chief Lavrentiy Beria to Jeffrey Tambor as his main rival, the vain and ineffective Georgy Malenk.
