Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (Disney – 169 mins )

This one probably needs the least amount of introduction a Stream On pick has ever needed. If you, like me, are one of the many who didn’t get their hands on a Tay Tay ticket – this is your chance for a front row seat in the comfort of your own home. It’s a tour de force performance, an event that needs to be seen.

All of us Strangers (Disney+ – 8 x 60 mins)

I’m cheating slightly as this isn’t up when this post goes live, you’ll have to wait until Wednesday 20th – but it’s my favourite film of the year (I know it’s only March, but it’s going to take a *lot* to push it off the top spot). A screenwriter (Andrew Scott) drawn back to his childhood home enters into a fledgling relationship with his downstairs neighbor (Paul Mescal) while discovering a mysterious new way to heal from losing his parents (Jamie Bell and Claire Foy) 30 years ago. Here’s my review, which doesn’t do the film justice.

The Dry (ITVX – 16 x 30 mins)

The Dry season one first appear in 2022 on Britbox, before eventually finding it’s way to ITV, not earning the fanfare it rightfully deserved. Now we have season 2, which is somehow even better. Shiv Sheridan (Roisin Gallagher who is spectacular) returns to Dublin after years of partying in London and tries to navigate a new phase of her life. Trying to stay sober and being back with her family is not going to be easy. Her family – made up of Pom Boyd, Ciarán Hinds, Adam John Richardson and Siobhán Cullen – are all fantastic. The show wonderfully balances all of their stories in this beautifully bittersweet comedy drama.

Ladies in Black (Netflix – 109 mins)

From 2018, this is an underappreciated period drama following the lives of a group of department store employees in 1959 Sydney. Julia Ormond, Angourie Rice, Rachael Taylor and Alison McGirr are the standouts in this gorgeously costumed and life-affirming tale.

Monk (Netflix – 124 x 45 mins)

if you’re a fan of a crime procedural with a twist, you can’t get much better than Mock. Running from 2002 – 2009, the eponymous Monk (Tony Shalhoub) is a a brilliant former San Francisco detective, who now consults with the police as a private consultant whilst battling with an obsessive-compulsive disorder. Each episode could work as stand-alone but has an overarching link, Monk trying to process his grief of the loss of his beloved wife Trudy. Regularly funny and often moving, Shalhoub is fantastic, as are supporting leads Jason Gray-Stanford, Ted Levine and Traylor Howard.
