GET SHORTY NEW SERIES Witty crime saga: is there ever a fresh start?
Ray Romano (above) and Chris O’Dowd return for the third series of the black comedy inspired by Elmore Leonard’s much-admired novel. The story picks up two years after the events of the previous run, with Miles a free man again, having served his time behind bars. It should be a period in which he contemplates making a fresh start, but instead he’s focused on just one thing – revenge. Rick and Amara are, however, planning on beginning all over again with a clean slate. Sky/NowTV, from Wednesday (seasons 1-2 also available)

THE DEEP BLUE SEA NEW SHOW Watch the theatrical hit in your own home
Four years ago, Helen McCrory delivered a tour-de-force performance as Hester Collyer, the unhappily married wife of a High Court judge, in what is regarded by some as Terence Rattigan’s best play.
Now there’s a chance for us all to see it in this streamed performance.
Tom Burke (right, with McCrory), who’s become known since then for his role in J. K. Rowling’s Strike series, also stars as a former RAF pilot with whom Hester has an affair in the hope of filling an emotional void in her life. National Theatre/YouTube, from Thursday
