Netflix

Mapping out success: Netflix dropped its latest viewing data dump last week, with Adolescence and Squid Game unsurprisingly dominant in the streamer’s self-edited chart.

And with this being the fourth What We Watched report, Jake decided to crunch the numbers, with a helping hand from ChatGPT, and was rewarded with this fascinating insight into how the global streamer is consumed.

Ozzy Osbourne was the trailblazing frontman of Black Sabbath, who pioneered the heavy metal genre. Unfortunately, the artist has passed away at the age of 76, just weeks after his last concert in Birmingham (via BBC). Following the emotional farewell, fans are asking if Osbourne is the next in line for an insightful documentary.

With HBO’s Billy Joel: And So It Goes setting the bar for rockumentaries, it seems like there’s a renewed push to give the Prince of Darkness a tribute he deserves. Osbourne’s documentary should match the precedent set by Joel’s, and with the project already underway, everyone’s hoping for the best.

Three years on from the BBC’s greenlight, however, Home to Roost has yet to premiere, despite producer Expectation having filmed with the family for a number of months.

Ozzy Osbourne is at home in Los Angeles, contemplating the passage of time. When he first came to this city to record, he was a wide-eyed, golden-voiced Brummie lad of 23, with a passion for fringed stagewear and as many cereal boxes full of cocaine as he could lay his nostrils on. The year was 1972, and heavy metal pioneers Black Sabbath were in sun-kissed California making their stone-cold classic Vol 4. When it was done, their hell-raising frontman flew back to England and celebrated by swallowing 10 tabs of LSD. “We used to take it all the f***ing time,” he recalls, that Aston accent still clear as a ringing bell. Osbourne wandered into a field and spent an hour talking to a horse before it turned round and told him to “f*** off”. He’s a little hazy on the rest of the details. “I’m sorry,” he says, impishly. “You’ll have to ask the horse.
