FANTASY DRAMA Lucifer, Amazon Prime
TOM ELLIS (Miranda) has an absolute ball as the Devil in an unpredictable drama that has him fighting injustice — at least, the kind he dislikes — in LA. Season two features the arrival of his mum (Tricia Helfer). A new episode arrives every Tuesday.
MIAMI CRIME Rosewood, 8pm, Alibi
THIS is regularly Alibi’s top show, and it’s easy to see why: pathologist Dr Rosewood (Morris Chestnut, pictured) is a very watchable character, all swagger on the surface but vulnerable underneath. That vulnerability is definitely on display tonight, when a playboy pal takes an interest in his friend, Detective Villa.
IS IT ART? Bricks!, 9pm, BBC4
IN 1976, 120 bricks were placed on the floor of London’s Tate gallery and described as art. ‘They paid a lot of money for a pile of old bricks,’ reported John Craven at the time — and taxpayers’ money, too, in a time of recession. The controversy rumbled on for months, and this highly accessible new documentary lays it all out with glee.

DOUR but wellexecuted crime story, with Sylvester Stallone as a New Jersey sheriff who is sucked into the corruption of cops in nearby New York City. It’s great to see Sly holding his own beside a supporting cast more at home in this kind of film — namely Robert De Niro and Harvey Keitel.
SINGLES SCENE First Dates Abroad, 10pm, E4
AFTER the return of the British show to Channel 4 yesterday, the Australian spin-off is back for a new run.

FUNNY MOVIE Welcome To Me, 10.05pm, Sky Premiere
THERE are pot shots at the oversharing of the modern, self-obsessed world in this more-hit-than-miss comedy. Kristen Wiig (pictured) is a mentally unstable lottery winner who stops taking her pills and gets herself on a TV show so that she can share her thoughts (of which there are many) with the world.
