EVERY WEEKDAY lunchtime, DailyEdge.ie rounds up the TV shows that you’ll be tweeting about tonight and talking about tomorrow.
World Cup (RTÉ Two, 8.30pm)
It’s Brazil v Columbia in the second quarter final. We can think of worse ways to spend a Friday evening. #BRA #COL #WorldCup
Falling for a Dancer (TV3, 9pm)
Go back to the nineties with this Irish drama adapted from Deirdre Purcell’s book. Stars Liam Cunningham and a snot-nosed Colin Farrell. And a few rolls in the hay. #FallingForADancer #IsThatColinFarrell
Independence Day (RTÉ Two, 11.35pm)
TODAY, WE CELEBRATE, OUR INDEPENDENCE DAY! This film is worth it for Bill Pullman’s ‘MURICA’ speech alone. The perfect way to round out the 4th of July. #IndependenceDay
Everybody’s talking about: #The Secret Life of Students
Last night Channel 4 debuted a show called The Secret Life of Students which documented a group of young peoples’ phone activity as they settled into their first weeks at university.
Their texts, WhatsApps, emails and Google searches pop up on the screen throughout the show as they struggle through the drinking games, lectures and fitting in.
