Dennis Nilsen
This is the shocking true story of Martyn, ex-partner of notorious serial killer and necrophile Dennis Nilsen, who murdered at least twelve young men and boys in London between 1978 and 1983 before being sentenced to life in prison.
After running away from home aged 14, Martyn became a sex worker in London's West End. During this time, he met Nilsen in an arcade. They ended up at Nilsen's flat where Martyn fell asleep, only to wake in a room full of smoke, Nilsen looming over him with a knife. He pushed him off and left, confused by what had happened.
During the next few months, young men began to go missing from the West End. Martyn and Nilsen bumped into each other again and went back to Nilsen's flat, where they talked and bonded over their troubled upbringings. They began a casual relationship which would last for years.
Nilsen's behaviour became increasingly bizarre. He would shout at walls and ask Martyn sinister questions like whether he'd ever thought about bathing in blood. Martyn turned down Nilsen's invitation to move in with him.
One day, Martyn visited Nilsen at his new flat in Cranley Gardens, Muswell Hill, where he noticed a foul smell which Nilsen blamed on his dog. On another visit, he was denied entry by a clearly panicked Nilsen, who wouldn't let him through the front door.
Shortly after, Nilsen's neighbours complained about noxious odours coming from the drains. When a plumber investigated, he made a horrific discovery: human flesh and bones. The source was identified as Nilsen's flat and he was immediately arrested.
Martyn recalls the moment he saw reports on TV that his boyfriend had been arrested for murder, and how he struggled to cope with finding out the details of Nilsen's gruesome crimes, including storing bodies in his flat, having sexual encounters with his dead victims, dismembering them, boiling their flesh and flushing them down the toilet. Martyn also began to realise how close he came to becoming Nilsen's very first victim on the night they met.
Now, after decades of torment following his relationship with Nilsen, Martyn works as a counsellor for a mental health charity, using his traumatic experiences to help others.

Mama June: From Not to Hot
Mama June: From Not to Hot is all about Mama June's dramatic transformation. "I'm a mama, a grandmama, and a BIG reality star — and now I'm ready for a BIG change," Mama June narrates as we see her strike various poses. But she's not just talking about physical changes, she's revamping her entire life! "It's time to say goodbye to bad men and junk food," Mama June says before adding that fans (and haters) can all "[say] hello to a whole new me, because when they see what I look like now, they're not going to believe their eyes!" At this point we see a string of text that I assume are all things that went into Mama June's dramatic makeover. Included in the list are weight loss surgery, physical therapy, liquid diet, tummy tuck, gastric sleeve, strength training, breast implants, high intensity training, and laser teeth whitening.
The Gilded Age
The American Gilded Age was a period of immense economic change, of huge fortunes made and lost, and the rise of disparity between old money and new.
Against this backdrop of change, the story begins in 1882 — introducing young Marian Brook, the orphaned daughter of a Union general, who moves into the New York City home of her thoroughly old money aunts Agnes van Rhijn and Ada Brook. Accompanied by Peggy Scott, an accomplished African-American woman, Marian inadvertently becomes enmeshed in a social war between one of her aunts, a scion of the old money set, and her stupendously rich neighbors, a ruthless railroad tycoon and his ambitious wife, George and Bertha Russell.
In this exciting new world that is on the brink of the modern age, will Marian follow the established rules of society, or forge her own path?
