In the Name of Love

In the Name of Love
In the Name of Love
Set in 1970s Norway this comedy-drama from creator Bård Breien (the award-winning ‘The Art of Negative Thinking’) is inspired by his own distinctly unconventional upbringing. Anne-Lise Bang (Maria Bonnevie), a primary school teacher, does everything to keep her husband Lars (Trond Espen Seim)’s highly profitable porn business a secret. For his part, Lars sees his line of work as an act of social protest. Their two sons, played by real-life brothers Jakob and Jonas Oftebro, are caught in the middle – until a family confrontation becomes inevitable. This is a story of opposites attracting and colliding, of freedom and decency, and of family conflict and resolution.

In the Name of Love premieres on SBS On Demand Thursday 4.

This surreal British comedy comes from the mind of actor and comedian Mawaan Rizwan. We follow Jamma (Rizwan) on his quest for attention as he navigates chaotic family dynamics and literally stumbles through love. Mum, Farida, always makes everything about her, dad, Saif, ignores him and brother, Isaac, steals the limelight at work – the one place Jamma feels like he’s doing well. And when he finally does get the validation from boyfriend Guy, he can’t handle it. When Jamma’s emotions peak the world physically transforms around him. It's a trippy, comic joyride through chaotic family life and love.

Juice premieres Saturday 13 April on SBS On Demand, double episodes air weekly on SBS VICELAND the same day from 10:35PM.

Faithless

A man and his daughter are next to each other smiling
Nancy (Carmen Rose Youssef) and Sam (Baz Ashmawy)
After Sam and Tracy Amin attend a tense meeting at their daughter’s school, Tracy is tragically killed by an ice-cream-van. Egyptian-Irish Sam must raise his three daughters with some support from his Egyptian father and Irish mother-in-law, and his narcissistic half-brother. The girls struggle to cope with their loss: Layla turns to Islam, Nancy finds comfort with her family, whilst Lina struggles the most. Somehow, they find light in darkness and humour in these sad times. This is a captivating, timely and refreshingly funny series. It takes a comedic, tantalisingly honest and insightful look at an emerging Ireland, with its multi-cultural facets and challenges.

Faithless premieres Monday 15 April on SBS On Demand, double episodes air weekly on SBS VICELAND the same day at 9:25PM.
