ON DEMAND HIGHLIGHTS
AMAZON PRIME VIDEO
NEW! Outer Range (Parts 1 & 2) ★★★★ Strange things are afoot out west in this modern-day US drama, which stars Josh Brolin — a classiclooking cowboy if ever there was one — as an under-pressure rancher who finds something unusual. It’s best not to say much more than that, but you’ll know if it’s for you by the end of part one. Weekly, from Friday.
NEW! Almost Paradise (Season 1) ★★★ Showing on IMDb TV, which is essentially Prime Video, but free and with adverts, this new US drama is a jovial slice of B-movie-style action. Leverage’s Christian Kane stars as a retired DEA agent in search of peace on an island — but not finding it. From Friday.
MOVIE Gattaca (1997) 15 ◆ ★★★ Also arriving free with ads is this sci-fi drama, set in a future where eugenics has manipulated the human race to a state of near-perfection. From Friday.
NETFLIX
NEW! Anatomy Of A Scandal
(All six parts) ★★★★ Set aside a good chunk of time for Netflix’s thriller, which is envisioned as the first in an anthology about our scandalous elite. It’s likely to carry on if this finely acted six-parter is anything to go by – Sienna Miller and Rupert Friend star as the high-profile couple torn apart by a scandal. From Friday.
NEW! Our Great National Parks
(Season 1) ★★★★ Barack Obama narrates a hopeful, soaring tour of the world’s flora and fauna. From Wednesday.
NEW! Hard Cell (Season 1) ★★★ Catherine Tate plays multiple characters in her prison mockumentary, from cheerily incompetent governor Laura to multiple prisoners of varying threat levels (including Big Viv, above). Don’t miss the final episode. From Tuesday.
MOVIE Choose Or Die
(2022) 15 ◆ ★★★ A 1980s video game causes real-life horror in an unsettling film starring Asa Butterfield and Eddie Marsan. From Friday.
