Our guide to the best movies on TV

Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) ✰✰✰✰ (Channel 4, 9.00pm) Premiere. Bohemian Rhapsody is a crowdpleasing musical biopic, which covers the 15-year period between Queen’s formation and the group’s triumphant 20-minute set at Live Aid on July 13, 1985 at Wembley Stadium, where Freddie Mercury and co stole the show with a barnstorming medley. It begins as guitarist Brian May (Gwilym Lee) and drummer Roger Taylor (Ben Hardy) welcome Freddie (Rami Malek) as lead singer of their band Smile. Bassist John Deacon (Joseph Mazzello) enriches the group’s sound as they take on the Queen mantle, supported by a volatile inner circle. Away from the recording studio, Freddie wrestles with his sexuality. The script takes a few historical liberties, but Malek’s Oscar-winning turn paints the flamboyant lead singer as a beautiful, flawed creature.

Kimi (2022) ✰✰✰✰ (Sky Cinema Premiere, 12.40pm & 8.00pm) Premiere. Director Steven Soderbergh’s latest thriller is set during the Covid-19 pandemic and plays on timely themes about technology and isolation. Zoë Kravitz stars as Angela, an agoraphobic tech worker who is employed by the company behind Kimi, a virtual assistant which relies on human intervention as well as AI. While reviewing a data stream, Angela uncovers evidence of a violent crime, but when she attempts to report it to her company, including “organic interpolations” officer Natalie Chowdhury (Rita Wilson), she meets with resistance. It seems her only option is to face her fears and leave her house, which is made more difficult by the presence of protestors. It’s definitely topical, but Kimi also works as lean thriller thanks to Soderbergh’s direction.
