Must Watch reviews: Katie Price: Nothing to Hide, Lucky, and The Hawk

Every week, the Must Watch podcasters review the biggest TV and streaming shows.

This week, Hayley Campbell and Scott Bryan join Naga Munchetty to review ‘Katie Price: Nothing to Hide’, ‘Lucky’, and ‘The Hawk’.

What do the Must Watch reviewers make of them?

Katie Price: Nothing to Hide is a four-part series on Sky Documentaries from Louis Theroux's production company, Mindhouse. It puts together archive footage and first-time interviews with friends and family to re-examine Price's 30 years in the spotlight, exploring the consequences of her fame and the intense scrutiny she has faced.

Scott thinks the documentary is a Must Watch, but Hayley disagrees.

Scott says, “I think openness and saying what is on her mind to the media has been a hallmark of her career from the very beginning.”

He explains the documentary looks at how Katie Price “grew up in a household that initially didn't really care that much for fame, but that quite quickly changed.”

“She started to drop out of school, then got into modelling, and then became a real mainstay of tabloid journalism for more than 20 years.”

Scott praises Mindhouse's “meticulous nature”, noting “no matter what they produce, they still give it the same level of forensic detail.”

He says, “there were moments that really got under my skin.”

“I think the key for a great documentary is that you don't have to be a fan of the person that they are profiling if it provides a great portrait of who they are. And I think they've done a great portrait on Katie.”

Hayley says, “I think it was a fun watch at times, a grim watch.”

“It's time travel, but it's ultimately not deep enough to make me interested in Katie Price.”

She enjoyed the elements that looked at “the machinations of managers, the media, planted stories and angles.”

“It's also really hard to have sympathy for someone over the intrusiveness of the press when she literally invited it.”

“They never really dug into why she didn't want to be alone. It was left hanging there.”

Overall Hayley describes the documentary as “limp” and says it “serves to give [Katie Price] more of the attention that she's desperate for.”

Katie Price: Nothing to Hide is available to watch now on Sky and the streaming service NOW.

The second review is Lucky, which is a new Apple TV drama. Based on the book by Marissa Stapley, the high stakes drama follows Lucky (played by Anna Taylor-Joy) who is on the run after a multi-million dollar heist goes wrong. The FBI and the people who she owes money to, are now after her. Reese Witherspoon is one of the producers.

Scott and Hayley do not think Lucky is a Must Watch.

Hayley says, “I thought it was fine. It was Anya Taylor-Joy in a variety of violent circumstances set to a pretty good soundtrack.”

“This might have been a fun summer film if it was cut to 90 minutes but I don't think I can stick this one out for several hours.”

She does describe the cast as “great” noting that “even the smaller parts are played by actors who are giving everything.”

“I really think you could set up this show to play while you're doing other stuff in the house and just popping in and out of the room, and I don't think you'd miss anything important.”

Scott says, “Lucky is very smart. The whole series is under the premise that she is able to manipulate others into believing that she's somebody else, or deceive people out of their millions.”

“I think a flaw is that this is a TV show, because when you've got a series stretched out as it is, you’re essentially having the same situation over and over again.”

He found it predictable that she “is always able to get away at the absolute last possible moment” when running from the FBI.

“The set pieces with those big chase moments, you are nearly on the edge of your seat so you will find it reasonably entertaining but not a knockout.”

The first three episodes of Lucky are available to watch on Apple TV with a new episode every Wednesday.

The Hawk is a new ten-part comedy starring Will Ferrell. Ferrell is of course a household name through his iconic characters - from Buddy the Elf to newsman Ron Burgundy in Anchorman. His latest is The Hawk, a washed up yet also talented golf player who has a dream to win in the US Open and complete a Grand Slam.

Hayley and Scott do not think The Hawk is a Must Watch.

Scott says, “it’s quite yelly and shouty about a guy who is basically over the hill, wants to get back on the hill again but can't seem to regain his previous stardom.”

“You can't work out whether you're supposed to be liking him or loathing him. I absolutely loathe him.”

He struggled to understand the purpose of The Hawk’s story.

“This felt like a first draft and it needed more time to bed in or at least a little more reinvention because it felt very one note to me.”

Scott suggests the comedy has “fallen into the trap of a big Hollywood A-list star making a big series that actually should have been a shorter project.”

“This is a show that unfortunately would not be getting a hole-in-one.”

Hayley says it feels like a deliberate return to the kind of crude comedy stuff that made Will Ferrell famous.”

She enjoyed that the show is created by “people with really good comedy pedigree.”

“We've got writers who worked on stuff like 30 Rock, Community, and also The Larry Sanders show.”

But overall Hayley says, “I just found this wasn't all that funny.”

All ten episodes of The Hawk are available to watch on Netflix now.
