ON DEMAND HIGHLIGHTS

AMAZON PRIME

DRAMA Code Black (All three seasons) ★★★ Tense LA medical drama with echoes of ER and, from season two, Rob Lowe as an almost comically heroic Army doctor. The way he enters the series is quite something. Code Black was inspired by Ryan McGarry’s tough documentar­y of the same name, which is also on Amazon.

MOVIE Magic Mike XXL (2020) 12 u ★★★ Channing Tatum’s ‘Magic’ Mike answers a plea for help in this so-so sequel to the deceptivel­y introspect­ive 2012 hit about male strippers baring their souls – among other things… From Monday.

MOVIE Edge Of Tomorrow (2014) 12 u ★★★★ Tom Cruise stars in a gripping, Groundhog Day-style action film also known as Live Die Repeat. He plays a soldier living the same battle over and over; Emily Blunt is the even more capable warrior with whom he forges an alliance. A sequel is in the works. From Wednesday.

NETFLIX

NEW! The One (Season 1) ★★★

The world has been changed by a dating app that finds your perfect match in this eight-part British drama from Howard Overman (Misfits, Atlantis). The app has made some people very happy and others very sad, but its founder, Rebecca (Hannah Ware), could be hiding something. The lure of that, and the impact of the app, keep you hooked in a multistran­ded show with echoes of Unforgotte­n. From Friday.

Yes Day

MOVIE (2021) PG ● ★★★ Boisterous comedy with a premise that’s the dream of children the world over: a day during which parents can only say ‘yes’. Jennifer Garner (above) and Edgar Ramirez play the ‘fun-killer’ parents bound for 24 hours of exhilarati­ng mayhem. From Friday.

NEW! Marriage Or Mortgage

(Season 1) ★★★ Couples choose between their dream home or a fairytale wedding in this upbeat new US reality series. From Wednesday.
