Shardlake Disney+, streaming now ​That’s Shardlake with a ‘d’. And it’s not a destination, rather a person; a 16th-century lawyer who does Cromwell’s bidding. Indeed, people in positions of power have always had a Roy Cohn-type in the wings... This Vaseline-lensed four-parter, based on the first novel in Sansom’s “Tudor murder mystery” series, is a moody whodunnit adventure. Shardlake’s sheltered life as a lawyer is upended when Cromwell (an increasingly craggy Sean Bean) instructs him to investigate the murder of his commissioner in Scarnsea. The commissioner was gathering evidence to close a remote monastery and it’s now imperative for Cromwell’s political survival that Shardlake (Arthur Hughes) both solves the murder and closes the monastery. Adding to Shardlake’s headache is Jack Barak (Anthony Boyle), whom Cromwell insists accompanies him to Scarnsea. There, they face some fierce desperate monks who will stop at nothing to protect their order.

Fiasco Netflix, streaming now Fans of sophisticated French farce, a la Call My Agent — but with added Vincent Cassel — will adore this.

Goodbye Earth Netflix, streaming now The upbeat viewing continues with this typically dystopian Korean number. With only 200 days looming until an Earth-ending asteroid hits the planet, there are some determined to relish every remaining day, while others decide to play vigilante. Either way, someone needs to think of the children.

Extremely Inappropriate! Netflix, streaming now From a beautifully shot South Korean dystopia to something utterly ridiculous from its Japanese neighbours... Here, a single father tries to return to 1986 after somehow arriving in 2024, where his Showa-era ideas come across as, well, wildly inappropriate.​

Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story Disney+, streaming now Wriggle into your bet-on white stonewash jeans for this four-part, AAA docuseries chronicling the epic past and wobbly future of one Bon Jovi. The series joins the band in February 2022 where they’re trying to map where their 40-year career will take them next. If anywhere. The title kind of says it all, but will Jon Bon say otherwise?

Hack Your Health: The Secrets of Your Gut Netflix, streaming now “Our gut affects our whole body; it influences everything,” says John Cryan. He’s the VP of research and innovation at UCC and features heavily in this global take on gut health. Join him and a rake load of other experts and willing guinea pigs as this light-hearted documentary tries to demystify the role of each unique microbiome in our overall well-being.

​Land of Bad Prime Video, streaming now Liam and Luke Hemsworth (Thor was perhaps too busy surfing with sharks to feature) co-star alongside Russell Crowe in this special forces effort in which they have a brutal 48-hour battle for survival.

​In the Land of Saints and Sinners Netflix, streaming now Liam Neeson as a retired hitman? Who’d have cast it! Here, he comes out of retirement for one last hit. Well, what else is a man to do when an IRA bomber lands in his sleepy Irish village? Expect all the usual heads (Kerry Condon, Ciarán Hinds, Colm Meaney, and a mandatory Cusack).

​Deliver Me Netflix, streaming now When Billy and Dogge are recruited by a local gang, the friends face a violent world they’re too young to protect themselves from, with fatal fallout. Like your hard-hitting foreign language dramas underpinned by true crime? Then The Asunta Case is for you.
