Today's top TV and streaming picks: The Sunday Game Live, My Policeman and The Charles Ponzi Story
The Sunday Game Live RTÉ2, 1.15pm Joanne Cantwell is at Croke Park for the last two All-Ireland Senior Football Championship quarter-finals. Highlights can be seen at 10.15pm. Walking with Dinosaurs BBC One, 6.25pm The final episode profiles the long-necked Lusotitan, one of the largest dinosaur species. But as we're about to discover, it was a gentle giant that had just one goal — to find the perfect mate. Live Women's International Football RTÉ2, 7.30pm Having missed out on a place at Euro 2025, which begins this week, the Republic of Ireland team have to make do with another friendly against an impressive USA squad, which should provide them with a stern test. 24 Hours in Police Custody: The Butcher of Suburbia Channel 4, 9pm Two-part documentary focusing on the hunt for the killer of 74-year-old Annette Smith, whose remains were found in a storage locker in Hertfordshire in late 2023. Initially reported as missing by her lodger, detectives were left reeling as the truth emerged. Concludes Monday. North By Northwest BBC Two, 1.50pm One of Alfred Hitchcock's most stylish and popular thrillers sees Cary Grant play an advertising executive who's mistaken for a spy, prompting him to go on the run across the US, chased all the way by a foreign agent. James Mason and Eva Marie Saint co-star. My Policeman RTÉ One, 9.30pm Romantic drama dealing with the love triangle between a police officer, his teacher wife and their museum curator friend during the 1950s, as well as the feelings of loss and regret they experience 40 years later. Harry Styles and Emma Corrin star. 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. Nary a Rachel Riley or a giant clock in sight in this LAPD-set moody number.
