The five things to stream this weekend

1. RE:MASTERED – THE TWO KILLINGS OF SAM COOKE: Netflix

The Zimbalist brothers’ political music docuseries continues with an investigation into the life and mysterious death of golden voiced soul legend Sam Cooke. December this year will mark 55 years since Cooke met his end in an LA motel room shooting at the age of 33. The circumstances of his death have long been questioned by his family and friends and whether or not they’re any clearer at the end of this episode is up to you.

What’s undeniable is that Cooke was a complicated man – earning fame and adoration from white America for his renditions of easy-to-enjoy smooth hits while being kept from making the civil rights era inspired music he really wanted to by his record company.

2. THE BREAK SEASON TWO: Netflix

Belgium’s dark, twisty psychodrama procedural returns for a second season in which detective Yoann Peeters must once again confront his own personal demons while uncovering the secrets thrown up by a murder case involving a mental patient. It’s suitably moody, quietly drawn out and rather gripping stuff.

5. SALLY4EVER: Showmax

In the UK, comedian Julia Davis is something of a legend thanks to her vicious, cruel, cringeworthy but devilishly funny creation of shows such as Nighty Night and Camping. Here she makes the jump to America with an HBO miniseries that’s difficult to watch but well worth the time.

Davis plays an adventurous queer artist who seduces a mild-mannered office worker (Catherine Sheppard) away from her nebbish fiancé (Alex Macqueen). It’s raw and the cringes come a mile a minute, but, Davis shows she has the chops to continue being the queen of her uniquely tart brand of black comedy.
