Screen Queen: Am I Being Unreasonable?, It Ends With Us, Daredevil: Born Again and Insight

Am I Being Unreasonable?Wednesday, 10.10pm, SBS Viceland

Am I being unreasonable? It’s a question I often ask myself, as I ponder whether my latest perimenopausal outburst at my husband is entirely justified.

Obviously, the answer to that is yes — there is a correct way to stack the dishwasher, and that is absolutely not it.

But if I was in any doubt, I could always consult the definitive arbiter of such things: the good old

forum.

Each year millions of people ask the search engine this very question, and those visiting the site weigh in via the comments section. It’s fascinating to read people’s judgments.

Unfortunately, it’s now a lot harder, as there is a British comedy drama with the same name, and people are now discussing this brilliant new show using that handle instead. It’s very confusing.

If you’ve not yet caught up with Am I Being Unreasonable? (and yes, the name is inspired by those

It’s from Rain Dogs and This Country creator Daisy May Cooper (who also stars), and the first series is a work of quiet genius.

It’s all about Nic (Cooper), a mum stuck in a subpar marriage, grieving the loss of the man she’s been having an affair with. Because that had been a secret, she doesn’t have anyone to share her pain with, channelling her grief in an array of self-destructive directions.

Playing out in parallel is the story of the developing friendship between Nic and another school mum, Jen (Selin Hizli, the show’s co-creator).

As the show progresses, getting steadily twistier and thornier (it really does get very, very dark), it becomes apparent both these women have hidden agendas and plenty of secrets — it’s riveting to watch it all unfold.

Series two continues in a similar vein, boasting stand-out performances from its brilliant ensemble cast, which includes Lenny Rush as Nic’s young son, Ollie. He won a BAFTA for his performance, despite the fact he’s still a kid. And yes, he really is that good.

Am I being unreasonable in saying you MUST watch this show? Obviously, no. We have already established that I am always right about everything — especially the dishwasher.

Everything I know about marine biology I learnt from The Octonauts.

Likewise, everything I know about the human body, I’ve gleaned from watching doctors Chris and Xand van Tulleken and their sidekick Ronx on their fabulous medical show for kids.

As the parent of a child who has twice-yearly hospital check-ups, I know firsthand how bewildering it can be for kids caught up in the hospital system. This show is absolutely fantastic at demystifying things, explaining complex medical procedures and diagnoses in terms simple enough that even I can understand!

These lovely doctors are truly doing a community service. Adore this show.

I’m watching TikTok creators dissect 485-page court submissions like my life depends on it — I’ll definitely be tuning in to catch the movie at the heart of all that Justin Baldoni/Blake Lively ridiculousness. Inject it into my eyeballs.
