The Informer (2019) 15 u (Sky Store (buy & keep only)) ★★★ No Time To Die’s Ana de Armas co-stars in this decent thriller about an ex-con exsoldier who’s abandoned by his FBI handler (Rosamund Pike). From December 30.

NEW! Big Love (All five seasons) ★★★★ This HBO drama tells a family story in an unusual setting – a polygamous home. Bill Paxton stars, with Jeanne Tripplehorn, Chloe Sevigny and Ginnifer Goodwin as his wives. From December 27.

NEW! John Adams (All seven parts) ★★★★★ Paul Giamatti plays the American Revolutionary in this top-tier HBO drama directed by Tom Hooper (The King’s Speech). It has an amazing soundtrack, too, the kind that sets the hairs bristling on the back of your neck. From December 30.

NEW! True Blood (All seven seasons) ★★★ This Deep South vampire drama was gripping in its early seasons and, even during its later drift into soapier fare, it was always watchable. Anna Paquin stars as the waitress with hidden supernatural depths. From December 27.

NEW! You (Season 2) ★★★★ The beauty of the obsessive killer at the centre of Netflix’s psychological thriller is that he thinks he’s the hero. In season two, and now called Will, he moves from New York to LA, a city he hates because everyone’s deluded – an irony he entirely misses – and finds a new woman to obsess over. From Boxing Day.

MOVIE Fighting With My Family (2019) 12 u ★★★★ Lovely, based-on-truth underdog comedy drama, starring Florence Pugh (above) as a Norfolk teen who goes to the US to make it big in wrestling – and meets The Rock. From Christmas Eve.
