Five things for you to watch this weekend
THE TERMINAL LIST — AMAZON PRIME VIDEO
Chris Pratt and Taylor Kitsch star in this action thriller series based on the best-selling novel by former Navy SEAL Jack Carr. Pratt plays James Reece, a veteran SEAL who, after a mission goes seriously wonky, finds himself at the centre of a predictably far-reaching conspiracy that sends him on a righteous quest to avenge his family and bring all those responsible for upending his life to justice as he fights his personal ghosts.
WESTWORLD SEASON FOUR — SHOWMAX
The well-regarded actors who make up the stellar, sprawling cast of television’s most frustratingly complex show return for another series of philosophical angst and host versus human battles that continue to ask tough questions about the thin lines between artificial intelligence (AI) and the people who create it. Seven years after the violent confrontation between AI and humans that ended season three, things seem to have returned to some kind of normal but this being Westworld, nothing is quite as it seems and there are plenty of new challenges and new pleasure worlds to explore. New episodes are added weekly on Mondays.
RISE — DISNEY+

LET THE WORLD SEE — DISNEY+
