Fans urged to watch "awesome" drama as it jumps up UK streaming chart: 'Worth putting your phone down for'

Yahoo24-05-2025

Motorheads, the new coming-of-age drama from the writer behind One Tree Hill, is doing well on Prime Video following its release.
The show stars I Know What You Did Last Summer and Cruel Intentions actor Ryan Phillippe, Mia Healey (The Wilds), Melissa Collazo (One of Us Is Lying), Michael Cimino (Love, Victor) and Nathalie Kelley (Dynasty).
Following a group of outsiders who bond over a love of cars and street racing, the show is sitting in 4th place on Prime Video UK's top 10 most-watched shows, at the time of writing.
The show has also received a positive response from fans, with all bar one of the user reviews on IMDB being very positive.
"I wholeheartedly recommend if you want something fun, exciting, and decently wholesome to watch!" wrote one viewer, while another said: "If you haven't seen the series yet you should probably organise a series marathon."
"This turned out to be a great show! There really isn't anything on TV quite like it," said a third fan, while another review called the show "a must watch".
Over on Rotten Tomatoes, the show has a similar user score of 97%.
However, critics seem a little less enamoured with Motorheads, as it has a 71% positive rating from seven reviews at the time of writing.
A common theme amongst the critic reviews, both positive and negative, is that the show isn't all that deep. However, the reviewers that enjoyed the show believe that to be a strength.
"Life-changing stuff, this isn't," reads The Hollywood Reporter's review. "It's just sturdy, reliable entertainment – well worth putting down your phone for and taking for a proper spin."
Motorheads is available to stream now on .

First Look At Noel And Liam Gallagher Reunited Ahead Of Oasis Tour

Oasis fans who've been excited to see Liam and Noel Gallagher back together ahead of their upcoming reunion need wait no longer. The brothers announced last year that they were getting back together for their first live shows as Oasis since they went their separate ways under acrimonious circumstances in 2009. Since then, the much-hyped reunion has never been far from the headlines – but Liam and Noel have never actually been sighted in the same place, with just two weeks to go until their first gig. That is, until now. On Thursday night, Adidas unveiled a new campaign featuring the two musicians on Instagram, showing them both posing in the sports brand that they repeatedly wore during their initial rise to fame. 'Band with Three Stripes,' the brand's post wrote, alongside a picture of Liam and Noel posing in Adidas while shrouded in shadow. View this post on Instagram A post shared by adidas UK (@adidasuk) The Oasis reunion tour was first confirmed to be taking place in August 2024, just shy of a year before the first of their comeback shows. Six months after the announcement, in February 2025, The Sun reported that Liam and Noel had met up for the first time since revealed their plans to reunite, at a hotel in London. True to form, Liam later confirmed these reports to be true, writing on X: ''I did [meet up with Noel]. It was lovely, we had a lovely chat and a cuddle.' Oasis' 2025 tour kicks off in Cardiff on 4 and 5 July, after which they'll head home to Manchester for five nights at Heaton Park. After that, they'll be performing at London's Wembley Stadium for five more shows, before taking the show to Edinburgh and Dublin. The Oasis tour will then head to the other side of the Atlantic, with two final Wembley shows scheduled for September.

We Were Liars season 1 ending explained

Those who read E. Lockhart's sensational novel We Were Liars before it was adapted by Julie Plec for Prime Video are probably feeling pretty smug right now. The show, just like its source material, is keeping a major secret that isn't revealed until mid-way through the final episode. If you haven't read the book and are feeling majorly WTF, or want to skip to the proverbial last page and get spoiled, here's what you need to know about the ending of We Were Liars. At the beginning of the season, seventeen year old Cadence Sinclair, played by Emily Alyn Lind, returns to her family's private island after sustaining a head injury and post-traumatic amnesia the previous year. Cadence has been struggling to remember what happened during Summer 16–the label that "the liars" she and her cousin Mirren, her cousin Johnny, and her boyfriend (and Johnny's future stepbrother) Gat give to the summer when they were all sixteen years old. She thinks that returning to the island will jog her memory, but everything feels off. Why did her grandfather rebuild their island mansion into an early modern monstrosity? Why didn't her cousins or Gat call her all year while she was recovering? Her mother tells her that every time anyone tells her what happened, she has a mental episode, blacks out and forgets again. This feels a bit convenient, given that the Sinclair family way is to pretend that bad things never happened. In the We Were Liars finale, Cadence works with her cousins and Gat to remember what happened without triggering herself so bad that she forgets it all over again. Leading into the finale, Cadence remembers one key thing: fire. In the penultimate episode, Cadence at least remembers that the liars burned down Clairmont, the family mansion, as a symbolic "f**k you" to decades of family rivalry and expectations. They decide that the Sinclairs need a clean slate. The four liars thought they had a good plan. They split up spreading boat fuel around the house. Gat prepares a getaway vehicle. They were all supposed to light their matches and run out of the house at the stroke of midnight. But the drunk, wealthy teenagers made some crucial, and deadly miscalculations. The first thing that Cadence remembers is that all four of them forgot that there were two drugged-up dogs sleeping in the basement!! The moment Cadence, who was on the ground floor, ran outside she heard their cries. She heads back inside to get them, and sustained a head injury, but it was too late. She ran back outside, bleeding and burning. Cadence demands that Johnny, Gat, and Mirren tell her the rest. What else didn't go to plan? They didn't think about how fast fire spreads and smoke rises. Creating a safe exit by avoiding the main staircase was not enough. Mirren hesitated to save one of her paintings that her mom kept–proving to her in that moment that her mom really did care about her. Johnny hesitated looking at childhood photos and smashing things with a golf club. They were trapped. When nobody showed up, Gat left the boat and followed them inside the burning house. They also forgot about the gas main line. Once the fire spread far enough to hit it, the house exploded. This is what catapulted Cadence into the ocean where she was found. She was the only survivor. Gat, Johnny, Mirren, and the dogs all died in the fire. Yup! For all of the Summer 17 timeline, a.k.a. the scenes where Cadence has brown hair, she has been talking and hanging out and arguing with their ghosts. You may have noticed throughout that while they might try to talk to the rest of them family, nobody else talks to them or sees them. In the final episode, it becomes more and more apparent that they're not just ghosts they like... represent Cadence's trauma and suppressed memories. They are ghosts, though, and ghosts who were afraid of moving on once Cadence didn't need them anymore. So they do it together. They hold hands, jump off the dock, and vanish... One of the final things that Cadence remembers about Summer 16 is that, before she ran out of the house, she hesitated too. Greed took over and she ran upstairs to steal her grandmother's black pearl necklace. She thinks this is why Gat didn't see her outside when they planned and ran into the fire. She blames herself for his death. Ghost Gat absolves her of that guilt. He could have saved himself. He also went against the plan. (Since Cadence ran back inside the house seconds later for the dogs, I personally don't think running upstairs made a huge difference. Gat would have seen her go back inside. He would have seen that Johnny and Mirren didn't make it out and gone to help regardless. Speaking of the dogs, that's the guilt she should be feeling. The four liars made some stupid mistakes that got them killed–the dogs didn't do anything! Go apologise to their ghosts!!) Harris, who somehow escaped the hospital and found Cadence on the beach, kind of softly blackmails his granddaughter. He knows that she's guilty of arson, animal cruelty, and involuntary manslaughter. He urges her to tell the version of the story he has been telling for a year: the fire was an accident and Cadence got hurt trying to save the others. Keeping her family's horrible secrets is her burden now. At the end of the show, Harris asks Cadence to talk to a reporter doing a profile on their family, played by We Were Liars author E. Lockhart herself. Cadence refuses, telling Harris and the family that she's not interested in fairy tales anymore, and takes off in a boat by herself. She tosses Tipper's necklace into the ocean like it's Titanic. This is a triumphant moment and all; I'm so happy that Cadence came to that realisation, but... surely that doesn't mean she's going to turn herself in to the police, or come clean to her mum, Ed, and her aunts about how the other liars died? It's fair to assume that Harris won't actually do it himself and voluntarily hurt his legacy like that. But Cadence is experiencing a moment of freedom at the end of We Were Liars, not a lifetime of it. She's ultimately trapped too. The We Were Liars finale leaves things open for at least one other season in two different ways. In one of the rare moments we see the Sinclair sisters actually deal with the loss of their children, Bess tells Carrie that she thinks the fire was punishment for what happened on her Summer 16 when they were teenagers. Bess says that there's just one caveat: if the Sinclair sisters are being punished for what they did, why was Penny spared? Mysterious! (There is a prequel novel, titled Family of Liars, that was published in 2022...) Then, in an even more harrowing moment, we see Carrie secretly take pills while packing up to leave the island. She's off the wagon and hiding it from Ed. She can also see Johnny's ghost, who tells her he can't leave just yet. The way she says "I thought you'd left" lowkey implies that she's been seeing his ghost, like Cadence, the whole time during Summer 17 too. That's enough unfinished business for a We Were Liars Season two, don't you think? We Were Liars is available on Prime Video now
