Schindler’s List (RTÉ2, 9pm)

Liam Neeson stars in Steven Spielberg’s Oscar-winning drama, based on the true story a German businessman who saved the lives of thousands of Polish Jews during the Holocaust. Tough viewing, but a classic.

The second film pick of the night is also based on a true story – this time, the rivalry between Formula 1 drivers James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth) and Niki Lauda (Daniel Bruhl).

Everybody’s talking about: True Detective

Reviews for the much-hyped second season are in… and they’re not great.

The New York Times praised the acting, but said TD2 is “intriguing, just not enthralling”, while Vox called it “just a cop drama you’ve seen many, many times before”. Oof.

We’ll still be giving it a watch when it airs over here on Monday – will you?
