What to watch this week: Gal Gadot speeds through The Runner, Hearsay delivers gripping thriller

Gal Gadot stars in "The Runner," now streaming on Prime Video, an action-thriller where she plays Maia, a London lawyer and single mother whose son is kidnapped. The abductor, voiced by Damian Lewis, threatens her son's life unless she kills a star witness in a murder trial. The film, directed by Kevin Macdonald, features Gadot constantly running across London and includes intense action sequences. Macdonald, known for documentaries like "One Day in September," is the grandson of filmmaker Emeric Pressburger.

• A new psychological thriller, "Hearsay," has premiered on Hot 3, Hot VOD, and Next TV. Set in Jerusalem, it follows Detective Moshe (Oshri Cohen) as he uncovers a child abuse ring in an ultra-Orthodox neighborhood, facing resistance from rabbinic authorities.
• Hanoch Daum's series "Life is a Difficult Age" returned for a new season on Keshet. The first episode, focusing on Daum and his wife creating an app for wounded IDF soldiers, was described as disappointing, with repetitive and cringeworthy humor despite addressing a serious topic.
