Netflix now streaming ‘addictive' historical drama racing up the charts
Netflix has added a hit period drama series to its library that is currently the third most-watched title on the streaming platform
Netflix has recently welcomed a critically lauded period drama to its repertoire, swiftly clinching the third position on the streaming giant's TV leaderboard.
The compelling Western has viewers hooked this week, currently sitting just after the worldwide hit Squid Game's third and final instalment and the latest romantic comedy series Too Much.
First hitting screens in 2022, the show is a brainchild of Taylor Sheridan, who has already tasted success with the hit Paramount Network drama, Yellowstone.
As a prequel to the contemporary sage starring Kevin Costner, 1923 delves into the Dutton ranch's harsh early days, rewinding a hundred years back in time to unearth the rugged origins.
It doesn't just weave a captivating tale for fans of the original series, but it also parades an assembly of Hollywood heavyweights. With Harrison Ford, Helen Mirren and James Bond icon Timothy Dalton at the helm, their performances in the eight-episode inaugural season are nothing short of stellar, reports the Mirror.

Be sure to move 1923 up your Netflix watch-list, particularly if you've savoured all four seasons of the seminal Yellowstone drama, which is also available for streaming.
And it's not solely our recommendation - ecstatic viewers have been vocal about the breathtaking period saga.
A recent convert expressed on X, "I have spared sometime for Netflix and landed on this series called 1923. I recommend it 100%."
One reviewer couldn't contain their enthusiasm, saying: "Once you start the first episode, you won't stop until the end of the last episode! Crazy series."
On Google reviews, a user heaped praise on the show, awarding it five stars and gushing: "Taylor Sheridan delivers again, picking a monumental period in history. This entire season is set in an amazing era when the ancient world fell away and the roller coaster ride toward modernity began.
"The caliber of the acting is just top-class, especially from Ford, Mirren, and Dalton. What gravitas and finesse. It is clear this tale is a multi-season arc of survival and greed, of revenge and ambition. Can't wait to see it unfold."
Another viewer sang its praises: "Gut wrenching and witty and heart breaking and love inspiring. This show is a beautiful myriad of conflicting emotions that juxtapose each other in such a beautiful way that my vocabulary fails me."

Prince Harry's bitter realisation about life with Meghan in telling recent trip
Prince Harry has made a surprise trip without Meghan Markle to Angola with one of his charities - and one expert believes it speaks volumes about how he regards his work five years after quitting the Royal Family Prince Harry's unannounced trip to Angola to follow in the footsteps of his late mother certainly caused surprise. It was only revealed that Harry was in the African country, where he visited a minefield, echoing a visit by Princess Diana shortly before her death, after he landed earlier this week. He travelled to Angola as a patron of landmine clearance charity the Halo Trust and spoke to families in a remote village near Africa's largest minefield while there. Harry made the trip solo, leaving Meghan at home in California with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, with sources citing safety concerns over why the Duke of Sussex made the visit alone. It also proves a marked change from the work Harry first started pursuing after he and Meghan quit their royal roles and chased entertainment deals with the likes of Netflix and Spotify. But for royal expert Jennie Bond, this type of work, such as highlighting the scourge of landmines, is the type of work Harry is best placed to carry out. The former BBC royal correspondent told the Mirror: "I think this is precisely the sort of work that Harry should do. It is not only a hugely worthwhile cause, but it also connects him with his mother, which is something he yearns for. "I think he is coming to recognise that the LA celebrity world is one in which he is not especially comfortable. And he seems quite willing to let Meghan take the limelight over there. He speaks frequently about a life of service, and trips like this certainly serve a very good cause indeed." On the trip, Harry was highlighting the threat of the munitions in Angola, the same nation Diana, Princess of Wales, visited in 1997 to urge the world to ban the weapons. Months before she died in a car crash, Diana, wearing a protective visor and vest, walked through a minefield being cleared by the Halo Trust. She strode through a cleared path in a Huambo minefield, and the images of her in body armour and a mask gave the anti-landmine campaign global recognition. And Jennie added: "I was with Diana in Angola all those years ago, and the impact she made by walking across a minefield was enormous. She told me that she was simply trying to be a humanitarian, and that is something Harry can also aspire to. "I remember her befriending a 13-year-old girl called Sandra as she went through the pain of having yet another prosthetic limb fitted. Her leg had been blown off by a landmine. Years later, Harry met Sandra in Angola and reflected on all his mother had done. "Sadly, despite all the publicity the Princess's trip engendered for the cause, landmines remain a scourge in Angola. So I think it's brilliant that Harry is continuing her work - and keeping her memory alive." Meanwhile, Harry, who also echoed Diana in a 2019 visit to an Angolan minefield, said: 'Children should never have to live in fear of playing outside or walking to school. Here in Angola, over three decades later, the remnants of war still threaten lives every day.' It is estimated that at least 60,000 people have been killed or injured by landmines in Angola since 2008, the Halo Trust said. The trust has cleared more than 120,000 landmines and 100,000 bombs from the country. Diana spoke out against the sale and use of landmines and famously called for an international ban on them during her 1997 trip. On Harry's latest trip, the Halo Trust said: "This renewed commitment builds on previous support from the Angolan government, which was first highlighted when the duke visited the country in 2019 to retrace the path of his late mother. That visit showcased how once-dangerous land could be transformed into a safe and thriving community."

Too Much: Lena Dunham's New Show Proves British Men Are Hot Property Again
Sometimes it takes a TV show to force you to really see something – or someone – who's been right under your nose the whole time. If you, too, are hooked on Lena Dunham's new Netflix series Too Much , you might have noticed our American sisters have a great appreciation for one of our most abundant natural resources: British men. Jessica, heroine and narrator, leaves the US following a break-up, arriving in London hoping to meet a British gentleman who will overlook her 'poor connections' and fall for her charms. Jessica makes no secret of her passion for Jane Austen and her longing to meet a modern-day Mr Darcy. Meanwhile, in And Just Like That , Carrie Bradshaw is flirting with her hot British neighbour Duncan, while Miranda is falling for British BBC news producer Joy. And if you're an American looking for a bad boy,Oasis are heading to the US in August, to the giddy delight of my (happily married) American friend who secretly fancies Noel Gallagher. 'I don't know if it's the accent or the eyebrows, but there's something about him that no American man can ever compete with,' she told me. Brits haven't been this hot since Four Weddings And A Funeral broke box-office records more than 30 years ago, when Hugh Grant's Charles stuttered and charmed his way into the heart of Andie McDowell's Carrie. Five years later, he wooed American audiences all over again by awkwardly falling for Julia Roberts in Notting Hill . So, is this just the latest phase of the ongoing '90s nostalgia boom, or is there more to it? I asked the American writer and author Jess Pan, who moved to the UK in 2012 and has been married to her British husband for 13 years. 'My previous four boyfriends were British too,' she says. 'Like many American women, I'm obsessed with British romantic comedies where Hugh Grant falls in love with one of us. We love the way British men say 'lovely' and all the fun slang. It makes everything more charming.' Jess explains that while the accent is appealing, Brits have another advantage. 'I genuinely think the appeal of British men is how funny and quick-witted they are. They are so much funnier than their American counterparts, who can be painfully earnest. And with their baseball caps and obsession with talking about money, I never had any luck with them.' Too Much is the story of a woman leaving the US and coming to the UK to escape her problems and live happily ever after. The New Yorker recently published an essay by its creator, Lena Dunham, entitled 'Why I broke up with New York' – suggesting she'd ended a romantic relationship with the city itself.

Mirror's Daily Digest - top five stories you need to read tonight
In this Thursday's Mirror Daily Digest, we've pulled together the biggest stories of the day - from a 'bullied' Prince Harry to a major change for who can vote in UK general elections Welcome to the Mirror's Daily Digest, where we'll be pulling together all the best stories of the day from our News, Showbiz, Sport teams and more. This Thursday, we're featuring everything from a bombshell interview where an unexpected royal admits she "feels sorry" for Prince Harry, to Olly Murs saying his body-shaming went 'too far'. Elsewhere the Mirror's Deputy Political Editor Mikey Smith lists five unhinged Donald Trump moments as Epstein row takes an unexpected twist, and there's also the chance to meet a British man left amazed after trying the cheapest full English in Benidorm. To round things up, we bring you the shocking story of a poor mum who's getting trolled for sharing videos of her 'giant' baby online. Prince Harry has been 'bullied' says Princess who feels sorry for him An unexpected royal has admitted she "feels sorry" for Prince Harry in a bombshell interview. The Duke of Sussex is currently embroiled in a bitter rift with his father, King Charles and brother Prince William after levelling a series of accusations against them in his Netflix show and memoir, Spare. However, hopes of a reconciliation between Harry and his dad, the King, have been sparked after senior aides for father and son were spotted meeting at a private members' club in London. But discussing Harry's situation on a podcast was Princess Delphine of Belgium, who claimed she 'understands' the Duke's plight and said that "everyone is bullying him". The princess herself has also experienced family turmoil as she is the illegitimate daughter of Belgium's former monarch, King Albert II. A DNA test proved her paternity, and she later won a landmark ruling to be called a princess and styled as "Her Royal Highness". Olly Murs says his body-shaming went 'too far' after backlash over new body When new dad Olly Murs proudly showed off the results of a 12 week health kick, the last thing he expected was a vicious bodyshaming backlash. Cruelly, he was told women preferred his 'huggable dad bod' to his new honed physique, and he was told his muscles made him look 'aged and too lean'. But after three months of 'beast mode' weight training and boxing sessions to get him fighting fit for his current tour, Olly says, defiantly: 'I'm in the best shape of my life in my 40s.' The singer explains: 'I didn't get my body out there for people to judge it - I was just doing it for my own tour, and for my own laughs with my fans, and for looking good. I wanted to feel good. I wanted to represent myself at 40 on the biggest tour of my life, celebrating 15 years and being the healthiest and the fittest I could be.' 5 unhinged Donald Trump moments as Epstein row takes unexpected twist What's going on with my 'guys', and in some cases, 'gals'? Last night there was a twist in the Epstein row that nobody expected - and it's really unclear how it'll shake out. Meanwhile, Trump continued to call his most active supporters "stupid". And he's so determined to reduce the trade deficit with Mexico that he's convinced Coca-Cola to use real sugar - despite howls of protest from farmers. Here's all that, plus more things that happened in Trump world overnight ... 'I tried cheapest full English in Benidorm and I was left amazed' A British man was 'amazed' after trying the 'cheapest' full English breakfast available in Benidorm for less than £4. The Spanish municipality, based in the province of Alicante, is a firm favourite holiday destination for many British residents and Louis Grier is no exception. In fact, the 32-year-old has made the sunny seaside hotspot his home. Recently, Louis was impressed after spotting the iconic full English breakfast on offer for the low price of £3.90. He regularly updates his 43.2K TikTok followers on his life in Benidorm, sharing his experiences and tips for those looking to holiday or move there for themselves. In a recent video, which has so far pulled in more than 58K views, Louis ventured to Mariano's, a popular and well known restaurant in Benidorm, where he was keen to try the venue's take on the legendary full English breakfast. Mum of giant baby that weighs 22lb accused of child abuse by sick trolls A mum has been trolled for sharing videos of her "giant" baby that weighs a whopping 22lb at just four months old - but doctors insist he's healthy. Maci Mugele has shared clips of the baby - that some have branded "chunky" - on TikTok to songs like the I Like Them Chunky song by Users have accused the mum of "child abuse" while others have called the baby "cute". Gunner weighed 8lb 1oz and measured 19.5 inches tall when he was born on February 19 but has since shot up to 22lb 8oz and now measures two-and-a-half feet long. The 21-year-old says that Gunner measured big throughout her pregnancy and continues to "eat more than the average baby".
