Ready to dive into some must-watch TV this week? Here’s the catch: not all shows are created equal, and some might just challenge your perspective. From political drama to tragic romance, this lineup has something for everyone—but here’s where it gets controversial: how do we separate art from the artist? Let’s explore.
This week, Australian viewers are in for a treat with three standout shows hitting their screens. First up, Kenneth Branagh’s highly anticipated drama about Boris Johnson finally makes its debut. Love him or loathe him, Branagh’s portrayal promises to spark conversations—and maybe even a few heated debates. But here’s the part most people miss: behind the political spectacle lies a deeper exploration of leadership and legacy. Will it resonate with you?
Next, Ryan Murphy takes on the tragic romance of John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette. Their story is as heartbreaking as it is glamorous, but Murphy’s signature style adds a layer of complexity. Here’s the controversial question: Does glamorizing tragedy honor their memory, or does it exploit it? Let’s discuss in the comments.
Now, let’s talk about how you can access these shows—and so much more. For just $1 a week for the first 4 weeks ($4 minimum cost), you can unlock unlimited access to expert news, exclusive commentary, and a digital version of today’s paper. After that, it’s $44 every 4 weeks—but don’t forget to read the fine print. Prefer a longer commitment? Lock in $8 a week for the first 12 months ($416 minimum cost), charged as $32 every 4 weeks, and then continue at the same rate. Here’s the kicker: With no lock-in contract, you’re in control. But is it worth it? Let’s break down the perks.
With full digital access, you’ll get:
- Expert news and commentary anytime, anywhere—on the web or app.
- A seamless digital newspaper experience, including liftouts and archives.
- Subscriber-exclusive news emails to keep you ahead of the curve.
- Complimentary access to The Wall Street Journal for a global perspective.
- Daily puzzles, crosswords, sudoku, and Mind Games to keep your brain sharp.
