What's Good Wednesdays
May 27, 2025
Watch: “Sirens,” a new limited series from Netflix. Think “White Lotus” meets “Dynasty,” and all the thrilling, campy, lavish images that conjures. It stars Julianne Moore as Michaela Kell, the socialite wife of a billionaire (Kevin Bacon!). Milly Alcock plays her ambitious young assistant, dogged by a dark past and a suddenly present sister (Meghann Fahy). Throw the whole bunch into an ocean-side mansion, add a falcon named Barnaby plus copious references to Moby Dick, and you’ve got a summer sizzler. – Tony
Watch: The Champions League final, this Saturday. Tottenham Hotspur’s triumph over Manchester United in last week’s Europa League final left one GZERO Media reporter delighted, but the quality of the football wasn’t the best in the climax of Europe’s second-tier competition. The final of Europe’s top competition – which pits Qatari-backed Paris Saint-Germain against American-owned Inter Milan – will be rather better. PSG’s band of fleet-footed wingers are a treasure to behold, while Inter’s never-say-die attitude has made for astonishing comebacks – just look at their semi-final against Barcelona. It’s a culture clash in both ownership and styles, and it’ll be a joy to watch. -- Zac
Listen: To the Blindboy Podcast if you're looking to relax and learn at the same time. Hosted by Blindboy Boatclub — a satirist, author, and musician from Limerick, Ireland – this podcast is like an intimate conversation, an enlightening lecture, and a hug all in one. He’s a one of a kind storyteller. – RileyMore For You
