Lie Detectors and an Octopus!

Ian and Hannah review the biggest new films and bingeable shows on UK streaming services for the week beginning Friday 8th May 2025, including:

Best friends Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman gear up for a European road trip in season four of their travelogue Long Way Home.

This is a documentary about being murdered by your lover, getting lost in Mexico, finding a unicorn, and exploring our connection with a possible alien. In other words, it's a documentary about the octopus. Narrated by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Octopus! is on Prime Video.

Historical drama Marie Antoinette returns for a second season on BBC iPlayer.

Charlie Cale, a casino employee, has an exceptional ability to detect lies, and she's back for a second season in Poker Face on NOW TV.
