Edward & Wallis: The Bahamas Scandal — Revealed RTÉ2, 8.30pm
Fascinating documentary focusing on the Duke and Duchess of Windsor's period in the Caribbean, where they were meant to safely see out World War II. However, as once secret documents reveal, it turned into a disaster caused by extravagant spending and controversial behaviour.
Empire of the Sun RTÉ One, 3pm
Steven Spielberg's wartime drama is based on JG Ballard's semi-autobiographical novel. A young Christian Bale plays an English boy living in Shanghai who is separated from his parents following the Japanese invasion. John Malkovich and Nigel Havers also appear.
The Silence of the Lambs RTÉ2, 10.45pm
Oscar-winning adaptation of Thomas Harris's novel. Trainee FBI agent Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) hopes cannibalistic killer Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) will help unlock the clues to catching an elusive murderer.
Squid Game Netflix, streaming now
Brace yourselves… In the wildly anticipated third and final season of Squid Game, Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae, aka player 456) returns. Haunted by incremental loss, he's determined to end the deadly competition once and for all. His clash with the enigmatic Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) escalates into a (surprise, surprise) grave battle of strategy and morality, as new games and old enemies collide. With the expected level of twists — including a baby being added to the mix and the viral Gachapon craze (plastic vending balls to you) putting in a pivotal appearance — the stakes are high. As surviving players face progressively brutal choices, the line between justice and tainted vengeance increasingly blurs. Can humanity survive the harshest reality? As the world awaits the final answer, writer-director Hwang Dong-hyuk promises a powerful conclusion to the global phenomenon. I think we'll be the collective judges of that.
The Charles Ponzi Story AppleTV+, streaming now
We've all heard of Ponzi schemes, but what do you know of their namesake? He was a broke immigrant based in 1920s Boston, who rocketed to wealth and infamy in mere months by orchestrating what would become known as the infamous scheme, one of history's boldest financial frauds. For more stories inspired by true events, try Smoke starring Taron Egerton, John Leguizamo and Greg Kinnear.
