What to watch on TV today (Wednesday):

Life of Koko (Yes VOD, Sting TV, Partner TV, Yes TV Drama, 21:00)

A new docu-reality series from Yes that follows singer Koko from Eilat, Yaakov Ovadia, along with his family. Ovadia was one of the stars of heavy Mizrahi music in the late nineties with hits like 'Baleilot', 'Lo Retsinit', 'Olam Chadash' and 'Cafe Ve-Sigaria'. Despite the nickname that stuck to him, he grew up in a neighborhood in Be'er Sheva. He broke into the public consciousness in an unusual way: in the early two-thousands, Assi Cohen and Guri Alfi in 'Shidurei Ha-Mahapecha' created a character based on him, and this exposure turned out to be a double-edged sword. Standing with him before the camera are his wife Mati and their five children: twins Yam and Lee, who dream of breaking into music, Gad, Eve, and Dan, who is developing a football career.

My Ai Relationship (Yes VOD, Partner TV, Yes Doco, 21:05)

A British documentary film that follows Jack Reeves, a London bachelor who sets out to test how artificial intelligence is changing the way people deal with loneliness. Instead of settling for the question of whether it is possible to fall in love with a chatbot, the film meets people who have already built entire relationships around such systems: a woman who married a character she created in the Replika app, a man who built himself a family with virtual children, and people who prefer to tell a digital system things they cannot say to humans. Reeves examines what exactly users get from these connections and how commercial companies turn a deep emotional need into a technological service.

Ihuman (Yes Doco, Partner TV, 22:00)

A Norwegian-Danish documentary film that examines who designs the artificial intelligence systems that are already affecting governments, markets, security, and daily life. Director Tonje Hessen Schei talks with figures including an AI researcher, a technology journalist, and a human rights lawyer. The film oscillates between promises of breakthroughs and questions about surveillance, autonomous weapons systems, and the concentration of power in the hands of a limited number of companies.

Lovesick (Netflix)

A Mexican period drama series based on the bestseller 'Mal de amores' by Angeles Mastretta. The plot connects a woman's coming-of-age story with the turbulent years before and during the Mexican Revolution. Emilia Sauri is determined to study medicine and choose her own path, torn between two men: an adventurer-revolutionary and a doctor offering stability.

Turning Point: Generation 9/11 (Netflix)

A new documentary film that returns to the September 11, 2001 attacks through the people whose lives were shaped over the 25 years that followed. The film collects first-person testimonies from children who lost parents, media personnel who covered the wars, and American soldiers sent to Afghanistan.

LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian (Disney+)

A new animation special that retells the three seasons of 'The Mandalorian' in a comedic way. Din Djarin and Grogu arrive at a party where friends share stories about their adventures, reimagined through LEGO humor.

9/11: United We Stand - 25 Years Later (Disney+)

A new documentary special marking 25 years since the September 11 attacks, led by Michael Strahan. The program examines how American culture—sports, music, Broadway—served as spaces where people gathered together again and tried to move from the initial shock to a sense of community.

Britain's Most Notorious Crime Investigations (Disney+)

A six-episode documentary series, each returning to a different British criminal case. The series combines new interviews with investigators and archival materials, seeking to illustrate how a detail that seems marginal can change the direction of an entire investigation.
