“It’s peak Netflix doco-making, with all the glossy graphics and dramatic bass lines they can possibly cram in, but the quality is undeniable.” Streaming columnist NICK OVERALL takes a look at the latest American Manhunt series.

Until now Kathryn Bigelow’s thriller film Zero Dark Thirty offered the most compelling on-screen account of the hunt for Osama Bin Laden.

But a new documentary now streaming on Netflix might have topped it.

American Manhunt: Osama Bin Laden is a three-episode series that dives deep into an extraordinary high-stakes search that unfolded in the wake of the September 11 attacks.

Meticulously made, it features interviews with former FBI officials as well as high-ups in the CIA and Department of Defense.

It’s peak Netflix doco-making, with all the glossy graphics and dramatic bass lines they can possibly cram in, but the quality is undeniable.

This is the third installment in the American Manhunt series, which in previous seasons has focused on the Boston Marathon bombing and the case of OJ Simpson. By far and away though, this new season proves the most fascinating and well made.

The third and final episode clocks in at just under 90 minutes, making it almost its own movie about the raid on Bin Laden’s compound some 10 years after the search first began.

NICOLE Kidman is back on streaming screens this month in her hit Amazon Prime Video series Nine Perfect Strangers.

It’s perhaps only Kidman’s name attached to the show that has allowed it to crawl its way to a second season some four years after its first.

Kidman plays Masha Dmitrichenko, an enigmatic wellness guru who hosts a retreat for rich guests who are in search of new purpose and want to become “changed people”.

But they soon learn their host’s methods of “healing” prove far more sinister than what first meets the eye.

In an age where “wellness” has become such a fad, Nine Perfect Strangers has a hell of a premise, but watching season two I couldn’t help but feel it’s been beaten to the punch.

Season three of The White Lotus, which streams on Max, satirised the trend far better earlier this year.

There are still several episodes of Nine Perfect Strangers that are yet to release, but the themes it’s trying to serve up just feel kind of stale now in comparison to what’s already been done.

This is what happens when you leave four years between seasons in an age where consumers have such an endless choice of television. Someone else will get there first.

BOB Dylan is a legendary name but one that is perhaps widely lost on the modern generation.

What better way then to bring them up to speed than by casting Timothée Chalamet as the folk and rock music con.

He’s one of the most marketable actors in Hollywood right now (take his work in Dune, Wonka and Don’t Look Up as just a few examples) and he plays Dylan in the Oscar-nominated biopic A Complete Unknown which has recently hit Disney Plus.

The film charts Bob Dylan’s rise from a 19-year-old nobody with a guitar to an international sensation that changed the face of music forever.

Chalamet is as always totally committed.

As someone who’s only ever scratched the surface of Dylan’s discography, A Complete Unknown did enough to make me more interested in both his music and folk music more generally. That’s the ultimate compliment for a musical biopic, especially these days where they’ve become a dime a dozen.

In the last 10 years there have been films about Queen, Elton John, Whitney Houston, Elvis, Bob Marley and even more recently Robbie Williams as a CGI monkey.

A Complete Unknown is the latest to take a haul at the box office and Disney hasn’t missed a beat in getting on its streaming platform.

It makes one wonder what Dylan, in all that reclusive aura of his, would make of an age where movies are watched the same way songs are listened to: on a vast digital catalogue accessed via a few taps on a screen.

The times they are a-changin’.
