Heating up Netflix’s March catalogue is its newest doco promising an inside look at the life of Gordon Ramsay, reports streaming columnist NICK OVERALL.

The six-part documentary series, Being Gordon Ramsay, follows the household-name chef as he attempts to open five new world-class restaurants in a major dining complex atop a London skyscraper.

There’s a bit of a bizarre attempt to frame Ramsay as an underdog in this series, like he’s going through some kind of make-or-break moment as if he doesn’t have another $200 million in his pocket to fall back on.

Still, Netflix has served up some incredibly popular TV with this one.

Subscribers who watched the hugely successful documentary on David Beckham and his family a few years ago may recognise some similar DNA.

There’s the candid-couch interviews and the shots capturing what a day in the life is like for a family known around the world.

But where Beckham did have those moments of authenticity that felt like a real look behind the scenes, here they’re much fewer and further between. 

Being Gordon Ramsay can sometimes feel like it slips more into major advertisement territory than a thorough documentary, leaving it somewhat, as Ramsay himself would hate, undercooked.

Need something low effort to put on after a day at work while making yourself dinner though? Order’s up.

A NEW drama series on Disney Plus that hones in on one of the most famous couples of the ‘90s has been turning heads.

It’s called Love Story: John F Kennedy Jr & Carolyn Bessette and, over nine episodes, it follows the couple’s intense relationship, which became an almost mythical part of America’s cultural fascination.

The son of one of the most famous leaders of all time and a fashion icon who became known around the world are played by relative newcomers Paul Anthony Kelly and Sarah Pidgeon. Thankfully, their chemistry is very tangible, both entirely committed to the roles.

The popularity the show has already swept up is sure to make these two stars. There are already calls for Kelly to be the next Batman.

The series is also quite the turn for executive producer Ryan Murphy, who has carved out controversial renown for his Monster series on Netflix, which has dramatised some of America’s worst serial killers including Jeffrey Dahmer and more recently Ed Gein.

Love Story is a lot slower than those shows and it often feels like those nine episodes could easily have been halved in time without losing any critical plot. 

Of course, all of it ultimately builds towards the tragic ending for the couple that shocked the world and devastated their fans.

That goes a long way in helping the show keep its hooks in. Meticulously crafted, it’s a powerful look at one of the 20th century’s biggest power couples.

HITTING Apple TV Plus’s streaming selection this month is a new flick with an intriguing, philosophical premise.

It’s called Eternity and it asks the question: what if you could choose where to spend the afterlife?

The choice has to count. It is forever, after all, and its a quandary Joan Cutler (Elizabeth Olson) finds herself in after passing on from the Earthly realm.

Faced with an ultimatum that’s far from heavenly, Joan must decide whether she spends eternity with her first husband, Luke, who died young and has spent the afterlife waiting for her, or Larry, her second husband of 65 years who carked it after choking on a pretzel.

It’s an amusing and entertaining twist on the age-old love triangle trope.

There have been many movies and modern TV shows that have played with the afterlife but often attempt to be more clever than they really are.

I’m pleased to report this film is a humble exception.

Olson is effortless to watch and is backed up by an equally charismatic cast including Miles Teller and it’s thanks to some solid writing the 114-minute runtime here feels like anything but eternity.
