Screentime: The Buccaneers, Little Disasters, The Roses

From Nine To Noon, 11:45 am on 4 September 2025

Film and TV reviewer Perlina Lau joins Kathryn to talk about the second season of The Buccaneers (Apple TV), which features a group of young American women who take on the London aristocracy in the 1870s - one for lovers of The Gilded Age and Bridgerton. Little Disasters (TVNZ) stars Diane Kruger as a mother whose best friend and A+E nurse calls social services on her over her baby's head injury. And The Roses is a satirical black comedy starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Coleman - but does it measure up to the 1989 film The War of the Roses? Perlina Lau is co-host of RNZ's Culture 101 programme
