ON DEMAND HIGHLIGHTS

AMAZON PRIME VIDEO

NEW! Upload (Season 2) ★★★

It’s often billed as a comedy, but Greg Daniels’s US series — set in a digital afterlife — is more warm than it is funny, and can be more moving than some dramas. As the show returns, the main question isn’t really about the corporate murder conspiracy that swirls around deceased Nathan, but which of the two women in his afterlife he prefers. From Friday.

DRAMA Mad Men (All seven seasons) ★★★★ At the centre of this perfectly styled 1960s drama is the slow-motion implosion of ad man Don (Jon Hamm).

MOVIE Escape From Pretoria (2020) 12 ◆ ★★★ Tense thriller based on the unbelievable true story of how two white South Africans — one played by Daniel Radcliffe — escaped from prison in 1979. It also arrives on pay-per-view this week, but is still available free as part of the Prime subscription — the same is true of bank heist thriller The Vault.

MOVIE The Postcard Killings

(2020) 15 ◆ ★★★ The Walking Dead’s Jeffrey Dean Morgan stars in this so-so crime drama based on James Patterson and Liza Marklund’s book. From Friday.

NETFLIX NEW! The Last Kingdom

(Season 5) ★★★★ The drama based on Bernard Cornwell’s books moved from the BBC to Netflix for season three, and this fifth run is the final outing for Uhtred and co, at least in series terms — a Netflix film, Seven Kings Must Die, will be the final full stop. The Saxons and Danes are living in peace as this season begins, but an invasion and rebellion soon put paid to that. From Wednesday.

MOVIE The Adam Project

(2022) 12 ◆ ★★★★ Magical sci-fi adventure directed by Shawn Levy, with Ryan Reynolds (above, with Jennifer Garner) as a time-travelling pilot who teams up with his childhood self to save the world. It’s the same director-star team as Free Guy. From Friday.

NEW! Life After Death With Tyler Henry (Season 1) ★★★ The popular American clairvoyant offers his perspective on what happens after death. From Friday.
