PICK OF PAY TV AND MOVIES

NETFLIX

NEW! Quincy

★★★★ Music producer Quincy Jones is one of only 18 people to have won Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Awards. One of his children is actress Rashida Jones (Parks And Recreation), and she directs this remarkably intimate profile. From Friday.

COMEDY Sensitive Skin (Season 1)

★★★★ Sharp comedy from Canada, based on the BBC series by Hugo Blick (Black Earth Rising). Kim Cattrall stars as one half of a couple looking for their place in later life.

NEW! Maniac (All ten parts)

★★★★ Directed by Cary Fukunaga (True Detective) and based on a Norwegian series, Netflix’s stylish, split-reality drama dives headlong into the deepest recesses of the human psyche. Emma Stone (right) and Jonah Hill play the wounded souls at its core, who begin their adventure at a strange drug trial. From Friday.

MOVIE Moonstruck (1987) PG

★★★★ Cher, who made such an impact in Mamma Mia! 2, won an Oscar for her performance in this romcom about a bride-to-be who falls for her fiance’s brother (Nicolas Cage).

AMAZON PRIME

DRAMA Eternal Law (All six episodes)

★★★ ITV’s bold but ill-fated drama in which lawyers are angels, helping humans on Earth. Samuel West is one of their number, and the excellent Tobias Menzies is a fallen angel who works for the prosecution.

DRAMA Manhattan (All 23 episodes)

★★★ This drama about the building of the atomic bomb has a very strong cast that includes Olivia Williams, and re-creates its setting – an isolated town in the middle of the desert, in the mid-1940s – with skill.

MOVIE The Post (2018) 12

★★★★ Steven Spielberg directs this rousing, All The President’s Menstyle thriller about the press taking a stand against White House lies. Meryl Streep (the publisher) and Tom Hanks (the editor) are his blue-chip stars in a top-tier rendering of a true story with present day relevance. From Monday.

MOVIE The Commuter (2018) 15

★★★ The latest action film in which Liam Neeson stars as a character who finds his back against the wall, then punches his way out of trouble to satisfying effect. Vera Farmiga plays the enigmatic woman who puts his everyman commuter in a pickle. From Wednesday.

SKY ON DEMAND/ NOW TV

NEW! Grey’s Anatomy (Seasons 1-14)

★★★ The characters in this supersoap have had a lot of time to develop over the years, and few of the cast have taken better advantage of that than Sandra Oh as Yang

(right). You can see Oh on very different form in Killing Eve (see

Best Of The Rest). From today.

COMEDY Joel & Nish vs The World (Season 1) Gym-loving comedian Joel

Dommett pits himself against people who have come by their fitness in more rustic ways in this likeable series, starting by wrestling in Mongolia. The comedian Nish Kumar is there, too, mostly to mock Joel for his fancy ways, and it’s their banter that makes this fun to watch.

LAST CHANCE Unforgotten (Seasons 1-2)

★★★★ Chris Lang’s superior cold case thriller, starring Nicola Walker. Until Tuesday.

MOVIE Heartburn (1986) 15

★★★★ Nora Ephron’s novel about the implosion of her marriage inspired this finely performed drama, with Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson.

BEST OF THE REST

NEW! Killing Eve (BBC3 via iPlayer)

★★★★ After the first episode is shown on BBC1, all eight parts of this seriously offbeat thriller about the collision of a prodigious assassin (Jodie Comer) with a bored MI5 officer (Sandra Oh) are available to watch. It’s a breath of fresh air. From today, 10pm.

NEW! Stacey Dooley: Face To Face With Armageddon

★★★ (BBC3 via iPlayer) Ms Dooley reports on those who are preparing for the end of the world. From Tuesday, 10am.

PAY MOVIES

Deadpool 2 (2018) 15 (BT TV Store, Sky Store, Virgin)

★★★ The joke is thinner in this sequel adventure for the wisecracking immortal superhero, in which he builds a team and takes life slightly more seriously. It’s still fun, if you can take all the violence.

On Chesil Beach (2017) 15 (BT TV Store, Sky Store, Virgin)

★★★★ Moving version of Ian McEwan’s novel about frustrated intimacy, which hops around in time and has a divisive ending. Saoirse Ronan and Billy Howle play the central newlyweds. Both from Monday.
