The Most Hated Man on the Internet

Determined to remove her daughter's photos from a revenge porn website, a persistent mother launches an online crusade to shut down its cruel founder.

The Most Hated Man on the Internet tells the story of one mother's mission against the self-styled 'King of Revenge Porn', after nude photos of her daughter are posted online.

Hunter Moore was a self-proclaimed "professional life ruiner" who found fame in the early 2010s by founding IsAnyoneUp.com, a notorious 'revenge porn' hub.

The site posted explicit photos of women and men, often without their permission and with devastating results.

He built a cult following of those who hung on to his every raunchy move.

Featuring poignant, exclusive interviews with multiple women and men who fought to have their images taken down, law enforcement agents who worked the case and the crusaders who fought to take Moore down, this three-part series documents his comeuppance at the hands of the only force more fearsome than an army of internet trolls: a mother protecting her daughter.

It's time to return to the beach as a new batch of sexy singles make their way to paradise in hopes for a second - or third - chance at love.

With the resort officially open, former fan-favourite bachelors and bachelorettes are ready to find their match while living together in a tropical oasis in Mexico.

Twenty-three hopefuls kick off their journeys on day one, but will additional arrivals get in the way of their search for love?

Returning to his post as bartender, Wells Adams also adds master of rose ceremonies to his duties and will be joined throughout the season by a rotating roster of celebrity guest hosts including David Spade, Lance Bass, Lil Jon and Tituss Burgess.

Laugh-master David Spade is the first guest host of the season and welcomes 13 lovely ladies and 10 gorgeous guys to Paradise.

A fan-favourite contestant from The Bachelor, Abigail receives the honour of picking out a companion for the very first date card.

Back at the resort, a kittenish Maurissa finds herself smitten with cool cat Connor, and another potential couple faces some awkward history when one woman admits to her suitor that she's kissed his uncle.

Returning to the beach after finding love during his last visit, Joe immediately finds himself in a love triangle which leads him to question being back.

Has someone already proven to him that it's worth sticking around?

Meanwhile, plenty of the other couples do their part to make sure this first day in Paradise is the steamiest yet, with the most makeouts in the history of the show.

But just as relationships seem to be gaining a solid footing, a new arrival shifts the sands and threatens to shake things up.

With newfound confidence she's also looking for new love post-Jah.

River decides it's time to leave the nest and turns to Pedro for support.

Pedro's relationship with his mother and sister is still strained, which isn't helping the two families bury the hatchet after last season's visit to the Dominican Republic.

So much to see, too little time! Under the Banner of Heaven looks good - if it's edgy enough. Not sure of what expect from Disney+ yet when it comes to edge.

You know you'll get the edge you need with an HBO show but is it the same with Disney+? I haven't watched enough from them yet to know.

Light & Magic looks like a must see for pop culture lovers and fundis.

And Ben Fogle's job... let's take a moment to acknowledge how fortunate he is to escape the world by exploring out-of-the-way, awe inspiring places, and all because he was on a reality show - Castaway.

I've just googled it and I'm having a chuckle because the first thing I found was two VERY different perspectives on the experience of being on it.

This rah-rah one from Ben: Appearing on Castaway changed me profoundly

And this moany, bitter one by Ron Copsey who was also on it: How Castaway made my life hell
