Eimear's Telly - What To Watch This Weekend

Plenty to keep you happy here Ok, so after the full moon knocking the stuffing out of most of us during the week (wrecked out of it), we all need to kick back this weekend and chill in front on the telly.

When Emily goes missing, Stephanie takes it upon herself to investigate.   Beautiful Boy (Amazon Prime) Starring Steve Carell and Golden Globe nominee Timothée Chalamet, Beautiful Boy chronicles the heartbreaking and inspiring experience of survival, relapse, and recovery in a family coping with addiction over many years.
