ABSENTIA NEW SERIES Action series to remember, even if the heroine can’t

Former Castle star Stana Katic returns as Emily Byrne, the FBI special agent who vanished while hunting for a serial killer, only to reappear six years later with no memory of what happened to her. This time, Emily is still serving her suspension while trying to be a better parent to her son.

MAD MEN Flawless TV with a satisfying ending

Simply one of the greatest TV shows ever made. A decade of American history and social change – from 1960 to 1970 – is viewed through the prism of the lives of a group of New York ad agency employees. Is Don Draper (Jon Hamm, right with January Jones), the philandering, flawed creative genius, the main character? Or is it actually Peggy Olson (a superlative Elisabeth Moss), who starts the series as Draper’s secretary but claws her way up the corporate ladder to become a creative powerhouse in her own right? From the acting to the storylines to the dialogue, the music to the costumes to the opening title sequence, this is pretty much flawless television. And, perhaps unusually for a long-running series, it has an ingenious and utterly satisfying finale. Available now
