Mourinho
No career in football has generated more masterstrokes, headlines or contradictions. Twenty years on from the night he shocked the sporting world by leading FC Porto to Champions League glory, José Mourinho has gone on to manage some of the biggest clubs on the planet — from Chelsea and Inter Milan to Real Madrid, where he has now returned.
Filmed over two years, Mourinho tells the story of the man who revolutionised what it meant to be a football manager, charting his rise into one of football's most trophy-laden and outspoken figures — winning league titles in four different countries and lifting the Champions League twice.
With exclusive access to Mourinho himself, alongside candid interviews with Sir Alex Ferguson, John Terry, Iker Casillas, Zlatan Ibrahimović, Didier Drogba, Marcelo, Samuel Eto'o, Javier Zanetti, Frank Lampard, Petr Čech and more of football's greatest names — this three-part documentary goes beyond the headlines and the touchline theatrics to get under the skin of the "Special One."

Reacher
Reacher follows Jack Reacher, a veteran military police investigator who has just recently entered civilian life. Reacher is a drifter, carrying no phone and the barest of essentials as he travels the country and explores the nation he once served. When Reacher arrives in the small town of Margrave, Georgia, he finds a community grappling with its first homicide in 20 years. The cops immediately arrest him and eyewitnesses claim to place Reacher at the scene of the crime. While he works to prove his innocence, a deep-seated conspiracy begins to emerge, one that will require Reacher's keen mind and hard-hitting fists to deal with. One thing above all is for sure: They picked the wrong guy to take the fall.
