FILM Captain America: Civil War
ITV, 9.30pm, Saturday
A year has passed since the events of Avengers: Age of Ultron and the US Secretary of State Thaddeus Ross (William Hurt) insists on the introduction of legislation – The Sokovia Accords – to control the superheroes. Tony Stark, aka Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr), reluctantly submits, but Steve Rogers, aka Captain America (Chris Evans), refuses to sign, fearful of the consequences of the Avengers relinquishing their independence. The gulf between Stark and Rogers forces the remaining Avengers to take sides. A battle royale between the two factions unfolds just as a diabolical new enemy, Baron Zemo (Daniel Bruhl), threatens mankind. Captain America: Civil; War is a bombastic thrill ride that pits former allies against each other in a series of dizzying showdowns that cleave apart the Marvel Comics universe. STREAMING
13 Reasons Why Netflix, from June 5
It’s three years since we met Clay Jensen, the sensitive teenager who spent the compelling drama’s first and second seasons investigating the suicide of classmate Hannah Baker and trying to help her parents and friends gain some kind of closure. The third run focused on Clay’s efforts to expose corruption at his high school, as well as the murder of fellow student Bryce Walker, a notorious serial rapist. Now we’re returning to Liberty High for the fourth and final series, just as the pupils are about to graduate ahead of going their separate ways. Plotlines are being kept pretty secret for now, but we’re expecting all loose ends to be tied up. Dylan Minnette stars, and will be joined by Gary Sinise, who joins the cast as Clay’s therapist.

A local thug with a history of theft is murdered and the evidence points to an elderly shepherd as the killer. However, Montalbano stumbles upon a piece of evidence that could suggest otherwise, while also unravelling the mystery of why a girl attempted to murder a judge.
