Boyhood (RTÉ2, 9.35pm)

This movie was a labour of love for director Richard Linklater. Filmed over a decade, it depicts the childhood and adolescence of a boy growing up in Texas. Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette play the parents, while Ellar Coltrane literally grows up onscreen.

Philomena (RTÉ One, 9.35pm)

Another Oscar-nominated film here, with Judi Dench starring as Philomena Lee, an Irish woman searching for her forcibly adopted son. Steve Coogan plays Martin Sixsmith, the journalist who decides to investigate the case. Powerful stuff.

Netflix has chosen to cancel Sense8, the mind-bending drama from Lana and Lilly Wachowski, after two seasons. The show has been celebrated for its diverse cast, and fans are campaigning to have it brought back with a petition and the hashtag #RenewSense8.

Last month, Netflix cancelled The Get Down, Baz Luhrmann’s musical series about the rise of hip hop and disco.
