Unbreakabl­e Kimmy Schmidt (Netflix, from Wed)

It’s apt that a comedy about the eponymous protagonis­t and a cult became a cult TV success in its own right. From 30 Rock creators Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, the show has gone from strength to strength since its 2015 debut, with top turns from Ellie Kemper as the sunny heroine and comedy veterans Carol Kane and Jane Krakowski gleaning the best from every gag. Added bonuses are a scenery-chewing Tituss Burgess as Titus Andromedon, Kimmy’s gay roommate. Season four promises to be unmissable, so, if you’re late to the party, now’s the perfect chance to catch up.

The world was shocked on November 13, 2015, by the terror attacks on Paris. Suicide bombers and gunmen targeted a concert hall, a stadium, restaurant­s and bars almost simultaneo­usly, leaving 130 people dead and hundreds more wounded. In this three-part documentar­y, survivors and first responders share stories of bravery, kindness and anguish that unfolded during one of the darkest days in the French capital. Cameras share testimonie­s of those united by tragedy, from the survivors, the fire department and the police to government leaders, including the then president Francois Hollande.
