Another haunting horror for autumn
What’s on, what’s best and where to see it
Mike Flanagan, creator of The Haunting Of Hill House and The Haunting Of Bly Manor, continues to mine a rich horror vein with a seven-episode limited series embedded in the small, isolated community of Crockett Island.
Residents are already divided before Riley Flynn (Zach Gilford) returns home in disgrace to face the repercussions of his actions.
Some neighbours are unforgiving and Flynn works hard to regain their trust.
His redemption coincides with the arrival of charismatic priest Father Paul (Hamish Linklater).
Unexplained and seemingly miraculous events follow and religion takes a vice-like grip of the community.
As faith warps into delusion, some of the Crockett islanders discover their good fortune comes at a shocking price.
Also this week: Goliath – Season 4 (8 episodes, streaming from September 24 exclusively on Amazon Prime Video)
The compelling Amazon Studios legal drama created by David E Kelley and Jonathan Shapiro reaches its conclusion with an eventful fourth series, which welcomes back Billy Bob Thornton as grizzled lawyer Billy McBride.
When Patty (Nina Arianda) takes a position at a prestigious San Francisco law firm and sets her sights on the opioid industry, Billy joins her in the war of attrition against one of America’s most powerful goliaths.
Their partnership is tested to breaking point in a world where the people with money and power hold all of the aces.
Billy’s resolve wavers as he contends with chronic pain while Patty’s excitement at landing a new job is tempered by the nagging feeling that she is being manipulated.
