Jordan Bolger (“This Town”) and Max Fincham (“Invasion”) have been cast as the leads in upcoming Netflix drama “The Witness.”
Based on the true story of the violent murder of Rachel Nickell in 1992 in front of her two year-old son Alex while walking through a London park, “The Witness” explores the aftermath of the tragedy, which also saw an innocent man wrongly convicted before the real killer was eventually caught more than 15 years later.
In the meantime, Nickell’s partner André Hanscombe was left to navigate life alone with the couple’s infant son.
Bolger will play André while Fincham will play a teenage Alex. The real André and Alex Hanscombe consulted on the series.
Rounding out the cast are Neil Maskell (“Hijack”) as Di Keith Pedder, Kevin Eldon (“Rings of Power”) as Dci Mick Wickerson, Mark Stanley (“Happy Valley”) as DS Ivan Agnew, Jon Pointing (“Sweetpea”) as DC Nick Sparshatt,...

Nairi: Rising Tide starts where the Tower of Shirin leaves off, following Nairi’s journey to save her parents, discover her strange abilities, and halt the Great Storm. The game delves into issues of class conflict, political corruption, and revolt, all against the backdrop of Shirin’s divided nation.
Although these subjects have potential, their exploration frequently feels surface-level, relying on tired clichés rather than providing fresh insights. While the cliffhanger finale sets up future installments, it also risks aggravating players who have been waiting six years for closure.
Nairi is a compelling protagonist, and her cheeky yet vulnerable attitude gives the story emotional depth. Rex, her faithful and serious companion, provides balance, and supporting characters like Shiro and Sayo add charm to the narrative.
The anthropomorphic ensemble is brimming with personality, but certain secondary characters feel underdeveloped, which leaves parts of the story emotionally flat. Humor and meaningful conversation...
