ON THE BOX

And just like that it's all over. What are we going to watch now? Tune in for the Olympic Games closing ceremony in Tokyo from 11pm on Sunday. TVNZ 1 and Sky 53.

STREAMING

Comedy/drama The White Lotus may just be enough to put you off that resort holiday, when such things are possible. The satire about guests on a Hawaiian vacation for a week gets darker by the day, and gets more and more enjoyable along the way. Neon.

ALBUM

New Zealand post-rock musician Roy Montgomery is putting out four albums this year. The latest is That Best Forgotten Work, which includes covers of the Carpenters' Superstar and Tim Buckley's Song To The Siren.
