Based on unbelievable but true events, I, Tonya is a dark comedic tale of American figure skater, Tonya Harding, and one of the most sensational scandals in sports history.
Though Harding was the first American woman to complete a triple axel in competition, her legacy was forever defined by her association with an infamous and poorly executed attack on fellow Olympic competitor Nancy Kerrigan. Featuring an iconic turn by Margot Robbie as the fiery Harding, and joined by an all-star cast, I, Tonya is an absurd, irreverent, and piercing portrayal of Harding's life and career in all of its unchecked—and checkered—glory.

All four episodes of the BBC mini-series based on the Victorian
comic novel by George Grossmith, which first appeared as a weekly
column in Punch magazine. Hugh Bonneville stars as the
well-intentioned but painfully conceited middle-aged diarist, whose
boundless capacity for ironic self-revelation offers a crippling

distinction.
Childhood soulmates, Georgia and Holly, are only a few weeks into the so-called best years of their lives at university in Edinburgh, when Georgia gets drawn into an elite clique of alpha girls, led by lecturer Jude Monroe. Jude's brand of feminism is alluring, just like the circle of bright students she surrounds herself with.
Georgia's effortless entry into the clique leaves Holly out in the cold. But Holly's jealousy soon escalates to panic as Georgia begins acting erratically. Alarmed by this transformation in her best friend, Holly is compelled to follow her into Jude's closely-guarded circle. What she discovers is a seductive world of lavish parties, populated by Edinburgh's highest powered business men and women. But it's a world underpinned by sordid compromise, and as Holly exposes its deeply corrupt core, the danger mounts from all angles, for her and Georgia.
Can Holly reclaim her soulmate and at what cost to herself?
