THE SONS OF SAM TRUE-CRIME DOCU-SERIES Did satanic serial killer have an accomplice?
In 1977, David Berkowitz (above), aka Son of Sam, admitted to a string of killings in New York. Initially, the serial killer claimed that his neighbour’s dog was possessed by a demon and had forced him to kill. However, his story has changed several times over the years and he now insists he was part of a satanic cult and did not act alone in the killings, mostly of young women. There are plenty who believe him, including author Maury Terry, and this four-part documentary series examines the possibility that he could be telling the truth. Are his accomplices still out there? Netflix, from Wednesday

It’s about the engineers, coders and testers struggling to keep their game at the top. One of its stars, Rob McElhenney (above, top, with, from left, Jessie Ennis, David Hornsby, F. Murray Abraham, Charlotte Nicdao, Danny Pudi, Imani Hakim and Ashly Burch), is in real life the co-owner, with Ryan Reynolds, of Wrexham AFC, which explains the appearance of the Welsh football club’s crest in one episode.

TENET SCI-FI BLOCKBUSTER Spectacular time-travel adventure film
The reception for Christopher Nolan’s 2020 sci-fi epic was more mixed than for his previous film, Dunkirk, possibly because it’s debatable whether the plot – about efforts to manipulate time to prevent World War Three – actually makes much sense. However, what is undeniable is that in terms of spectacle, Tenet is second to none. Perhaps it’s best to heed the advice of weapons expert Barbara (Clémence Poésy), who tells the Protagonist (John David Washington): ‘Don’t try to understand it. Feel it.’ Also stars Elizabeth Debicki (right), Robert Pattinson and Kenneth Branagh. Sky/NOW, from Friday
