Looking for something new to watch this weekend? The Mail's TV experts have sifted through hundreds of programmes to bring you the 20 of the best shows and films to stream on demand right now… Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen star in a laugh-filled comedy about male-female friendship Year: 2023- Certificate: 15 The line between friendship and something more can be a hazy one between men and women, and Apple's comedy explores that territory with a lot of laughs and, just occasionally, a stab of poignancy. The engine to explore all this is the chemistry between Bad Neighbours co-stars Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen, playing reconnecting best friends Sylvia and Will. She's a mother and lawyer who's feeling stuck, he's a hipster bar owner going through what is probably a midlife crisis. They know each really well of old and have a tremendous time together, but is their reconnection healthy? And is it platonic? We'll leave you to find that out, but what we can say is that watching this pair banter and embark on ridiculous adventures together is a lot of fun and actually laugh-out-loud funny, too - and that's a nice change from many of the comedies than come along these days, which are often more like ironic dramas that happen to star comedians. And it's nice that Byrne gets to use her actual Australian accent for once, too. There's a refreshing honesty to that which feels very much in keeping with the show as a whole. Series two hits a similar tone to series one, opens with the duo involved in the planning of a wedding and involves a good guest star stint from Saturday Night Live's Beck Bennett. There's a bit of plot involved as it goes on but, ultimately, as in series one, this show is at its best when Byrne and Rogen are allowed to just have fun together. (Two series) New York-set thriller about agents of the local FBI office, now back for series seven Year: 2018- Certificate: 15 American TV producer Dick Wolf not only has Law & Order and its assorted spin-offs on his CV, but he's also the guy behind the Chicago franchise (Chicago Fire, Chicago PD and Chicago Med). Now he's worked the same trick with his thriller series FBI. The six series to date of the original show centre on the adventures of the agents assigned to the New York office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation as they battle crimes too big for the local cops to handle. True to form for Wolf, the series has two spin-offs of its own: FBI: Most Wanted (hunting high-profile crooks) and the Budapest-set FBI: International. All three are slick, smart, entertaining dramas. In the latest seventh series of the mothership show, Tiffany (Katherine Renee Kane) is struggling with her return to the field. (Seven series) Angelina Jolie stars in a hallucinatory drama about Maria Callas's life Certificate: 12 It's impossible not to notice Angelina Jolie's performance in Pablo Larrain's movie about the life of Maria Callas. The great opera singer was a star, of course, and as such you'd expect 'La Callas' to be front and centre in any film about her life - but the close-ups just keep coming. That's both good and bad. The details in Jolie's face as she acts her way through Callas's life are genuinely fascinating and it's a highly accomplished technical performance. But the bad comes from the lack of emotion that somehow results from all of it. Put the blame for that on the script perhaps, which drips several regrettable cliches into the mix as it outlines the last week of Callas's life, during which the over-medicated singer hallucinates an interviewer named Mandrax (named after the sedative she favours) who serves as a jumping-off point for flashbacks into her life. And it is, undoubtedly, an incredible life - but, unlike Spencer and Jackie, Larrain's other two similar films, Maria doesn't quite land the emotion of it all. It is a beautiful film to behold, though. You can certainly see why it picked up an Oscar nomination for cinematography, and the chemistry between the two actors playing her loyal but long-suffering staff, Pierfrancesco Favino and Alba Rohrwacher, is wonderful. It's them you want to follow when the credits roll. (124 minutes) Wednesday (Series 2) Joanna Lumley joins the cast as the spooky drama returns Year: 2022- Certificate: 12 Series two of The Addams Family spin-off finds Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) in a very different position. After she saved the school in series one, the ever-brooding student is now the popular girl and doesn't like it one bit. The show, too, is a proven hit after series one and has attracted some impressive new cast members as a result. Steve Buscemi, Christopher Lloyd, Thandiwe Newton, Billie Piper and Joanna Lumley are some of the familiar faces slotting into Wednesday's story this time around, all except Lumley playing teachers at Nevermore Academy. Lumley, deliciously, is cast as Morticia's mother. Grandmama Hester is a mortuary tycoon and one of Wednesday's favourite people, partly because she can use her as a pawn in games against her own mother. Another new addition to Nevermore, but not to the overall series, is Wednesday's younger brother Pugsley - now attending the academy with his sister and adding another curveball into her life. So, to cut a long story short, Wednesday has a lot to deal with in series two but you'd barely know it by looking at her face. Ortega's fabulously deadpan performance is a study in detail, with little eye flicks and eyebrow raises expressing the kind of emotional alarm that, in an ordinary character, would be represented by them running from a room screaming, hands waving in the air. Such is the density of events that series two arrives in two four-part chunks to make it easier to digest, with the second half due to air on 3 September. The cinematic inspirations for this run include Frankenstein, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and Girl, Interrupted, so keep an eye out for references to those as it unfolds. There will be a third series after this. (Eight episodes) French supernatural mystery drama about a teenage girl with amnesia and strange powers Certificate: 12 This French thriller mixes murder, mystery and the supernatural when a 17-year-old girl is hit by a car after wandering onto a road at night, naked and alone. Taken to hospital by the couple who hit her she is miraculously unharmed by the collision but is suffering from amnesia. The only clue to who she is is her unusual name, Promethea. As Promethea, the authorities and the couple who found her try to piece together her story, she starts to experience strange visions that point to a recent crime, the shocking murder of a local schoolgirl. But the visions are just the start, and it quickly becomes apparent that Promethea is no ordinary teenager. (Six episodes) David Attenborough narrates stories of parenting in the natural world Certificate: U Baby animal alert! David Attenborough narrates this five-part series exploring animal families in the natural world, and what it takes to ensure the future of life on our planet. That means we see the tear-jerking challenges as well as the up-close nurturing and cuddles, and hear the plaintive squeaks, mewls and bleats. This is a gloriously filmed and at times dramatic and nail-biting look at parenting in the wild. The primary concerns are universal across all animal species, including humans - providing constant food and safety for offspring, be they lion cubs, vulture chicks, crab eggs, or baby gorillas. We might be able to relate to some of the examples here, such as how a pride of lions will adopt orphans until they are ready to go it alone, but on the more extreme end of the scale, it's hard to see a comparison between human childrearing and how, in Namibia, the African social spider feeds her spiderlings. Frankly, it's straight out of a horror film. (Five episodes) Documentary about US virgins in their 30s and 40s Year: 2025- Certificate: 15 Four virgins in their 30s and 40s, including a divorcee, set out to change that status in a real-life series from the US with echoes of the UK's Virgin Island. They include 34-year-old Alex, who feels awkward about living with his parents and whose sisters give him a lot of 'tough love' for still having his virginity. Then there's 42-year-old Rhasha (the divorcee) who does skincare vlogs and describes her ten-month marriage - to a student from South Korea - as a 'debacle'. We also meet 37-year-old Indian-American Sonali, who says she was raised very traditionally 'as if I was in India' and wasn't allowed to date, and sounds extremely, understandably tense about the whole thing. She doesn't even like the word 'sex' ('I call it "making love"') and says she will fall in love with just one kiss. The last of the quartet is 35-year-old Deanne, a generally adventurous sort with 'no sexual experience whatsoever' who says she's just 'too picky'. Unlike some real-life shows that hail from the TLC stable, this is fairly warm and sensitive to its subjects, although it isn't above a bit of humour at their expense, either. Filming Deanne riding a mechanical bull in slow motion felt a little tawdry, for instance... (Six episodes) Billy Joel: And So It Goes The tumultuous life and career of the Uptown Girl singer Certificate: 15 'The most original thing I've ever done in my life is screw up.' In a documentary for HBO, the American singer-songwriter Billy Joel cheerily reflects on his life and career, and at length - And So It Goes runs to five hours across two feature-length episodes. He talks about his early gigs with The Hassles and Attila ('we're going to destroy the world with amplification... I didn't know one person who liked what we were doing'), a band that came to an abrupt end when Joel fell for Elizabeth Weber, who just happened to be married to his bandmate Jon Small. Small is interviewed here and seems remarkably calm about it all, which makes sense when you remember that it all happened more than 50 years ago. Still, it's those kind of sudden steep turns into the personal that keep you hooked to this profile, which initially seems like it's going to be a fairly anodyne rock story. With a life like Joel's, though, and a project of this scope and access - Joel has been pretty guarded before this, generally, about interviews - that was never going to be likely. Weber later left him and three more marriages - one to Christie Brinkley - followed, as well as his well-documented struggles with alcohol and a suicide attempt, and we're still just talking about his personal life. And yes, we do hear from his ex-wives. (Two episodes) Hunting The Yorkshire Ripper Documentary about the hoaxer who almost derailed the infamous case Certificate: 12 Watch now on Apple TV During the hunt for the serial killer known as the Yorkshire Ripper in the late 1970s, the police found themselves being taunted by handwritten letters and creepy tape recordings that purported to be from the murderer himself. A great deal of manpower and resources were diverted into investigating these messages but when the actual killer Peter Sutcliffe was finally apprehended, the investigating officers realised that the letters and recordings had nothing to do with him. It was an elaborate hoax that remained unsolved until decades later when, as this detailed and intriguing documentary reveals, former detective chief superintendent Chris Gregg set out to find the figure behind the messages that he'd been unable to get out of his head since his days as a humble rookie detective on the squad investigating the Ripper's crimes. (Two episodes) Stolen: Heist Of The Century Documentary about an audacious $100m diamond robbery in Antwerp Certificate: 12 In February 2003, police were called to investigate a break-in at a supposedly impregnable vault deep in the heart of Antwerp's diamond district. The overnight robbery, carried out without violence and leaving little evidence behind, netted the crooks responsible between $100million and $500million in gems. Most of those diamonds have never been recovered. One of the most audacious and profitable crimes in history, the robbery and the subsequent police investigation make for a fantastic true-crime documentary with the flavour of a Hollywood heist movie. Especially when the investigators tie the crime to an elite group of Italian jewel thieves known only as 'The School of Turin'. (95 minutes) Supergirl (2015 series) Superman's cousin has the power in this DC series Year: 2015-2021 Certificate: 12 With a new Superman flying across screens and Milly Alcock joining him as a hard-partying take on Supergirl in 2026, here's a chance to catch-up with Melissa Benoist's incarnation as Superman's Kryptonian cousin Kara Danvers. Bristling with feel-good energy from the off, the pilot episode of this DC superhero series doesn't go into lengthy expository detail. We all know what a Kryptonite can do already. The background is simple: Kara Zor-El was sent from Krypton when she was 13 years old to protect baby Superman, but her escape pod was diverted and she arrives on Earth 24 years too late. Superman is already a well-established hero and Kara initially keeps a low profile, setting up as a reporter in National City - until a disaster makes her presence known to the world after she swoops into life-saving action. Over six series, Kara makes a life for herself, embracing her abilities, making friends - including with former Daily Planet photographer James 'Jimmy' Olsen - and assisting the Department of Extra-Normal Operations with alien races that are both friend and foe. (Six series) Danielle Deadwyler stars in a searing family thriller set in a post-apocalyptic future Certificate: 15 There's no shortage of post-apocalyptic dramas in this world, but there's always room for a good one and especially if it's really about something else. 40 Acres may be set in a world where a pandemic has wiped out the world's animals, turning people into cannibals and farms into fortresses, but what it's actually about is family. Specifically, a mother who is waiting for her son to grow up and take responsibility for his life so she doesn't have to keep worrying about him, something to which any parent can relate. Danielle Deadwyler (Carry On) stars as Hailey Freeman, an ex-soldier and descendant of American slaves who runs a farm with her family, including son Manny. Manny is a little too interested in his own pursuits (swimming, sketching, girls - not that there are too many of them about) for Hailey's comfort, especially when the farm is being targeted by wandering gangs, and the authorities seem to be fading away. Part family drama, part sharply executed action thriller, 40 Acres is an uncommon piece of work that will keep you gripped throughout, not least for Deadwyler's fantastic performance in the lead. You'll care about the people and be fascinated by the world but the violence in the movie, while measured and there for understandable reasons, isn't for the faint hearted. Originally released in UK cinemas alongside its arrival on MGM+. (113 minutes) September 5 Oscar-nominated historical drama about the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre Certificate: 15 At the Munich Olympics of 1972, eight members of the Palestinian militant organisation Black September raided the Olympic village, immediately killing two members of the Israeli team and taking nine others hostage. This gripping, Oscar-nominated historical drama retells events from the perspective of the TV crews covering events as a team of American sports broadcasters suddenly find themselves on the front line of one of the most tense and tragic news events imaginable, deciding what to show as they fought to continue broadcasting while the siege unfolded. Making smart use of archive footage, the film shapes a timely tale of journalistic ethics, dedication and fallibility, allowing a cast that includes Peter Sarsgaard, John Magaro and Ben Chaplin to shine in a claustrophobic story of tough decisions taken under incredible pressure. (95 minutes) The Count Of Monte Cristo Lavish adaptation of Alexandre Dumas's classic novel of betrayal and revenge Certificate: 12 The ultimate tale of betrayal and revenge, love and resilience, Alexandre Dumas's classic novel arrives on the screen in a coolly lavish adaptation starring Briton Sam Claflin (Me Before You) as the phoenix-like Edmond Dantes. As the young Dantes, Claflin is fresh-faced, naive and gullible. The villains of the piece, all three conspirators, are devilishly hammy as they seal his fate and get Dantes locked up, the key thrown away, on the eve of his wedding to the beautiful Mercedes (Ana Girardot). During his time in the island fortress of Castle d'If, Dantes gets an education from fellow convict Abbe Faria (Jeremy Irons) and is steadily honed into a sharp instrument of revenge, as well as a cultured, educated man. Dante's transformation is a huge part of the plot and Claflin executes it extremely well - beyond the hair and costume changes. Irons, meanwhile, teaming up with Danish director Bille August for the third time after films Night Train To Lisbon and The House Of The Spirits, brings real gravitas, no mean feat considering how constrained his character is by location and circumstance. Ultimately, though, it's the scenes when Dantes emerges as the mysterious Count of Monte Cristo, unrecognisable from the last time he was a free man, that gives this classic its power and pleasure. (Eight episodes) The Fortune Hotel Make a reservation with this high-stakes reality game show, now back for series two Certificate: 12 ITV's reality game show has an air of The Traitors about it - with even more backstabbing. Set under the Caribbean sun, this show has a very different look, but the air of deception is there from the off as ten pairs of players reveal their game plans. They're not just there for a free holiday, but to stay long enough to win the £250,000 prize. Stephen Mangan oversees proceedings, staying coolly detached as the pairs - a mix of friends, couples, and a mother and her son - check in. Some are rather too confident and smug, others are playing it dumb. Chances are you'll have your favourites pretty quickly. Each team receives one of ten briefcases, one holds the prize money and another an early checkout card that sends the holders packing. The aim of the game, then, is to avoid ending the day with the checkout card in your possession, while trying to get your hands on the case with the cash. How the players go about that is rather more interesting than it sounds. Let's just say that at crunch time, there's a lot of poker faces in the room. In the latest second series, the hijinks start straight away when the 11 pairs of contesants are told that there are only ten room keys available, and one of the pairs will be going straight home. (Two series) The Summer I Turned Pretty Sunny coming-of-age triangle romance drama from the US, now in its final series Year: 2022-2025 Certificate: 15 Every year, Isabel 'Belly' Conklin looks forward to spending the summer at a family friend's beach house. But what happens when she and the two teenage sons of the family they share with - Jeremiah and Conrad - suddenly stop looking at each other as rough-and-tumble childhood playmates and begin seeing the serious romantic possibilities? Based on Jenny Han's bestselling books, this sweet show embraces drama, comedy and most of all romance as Belly deals with the emerging love triangle that threatens to upturn her life. Series two ups the drama even further as life-changing events such as cancer and the threat of losing the beach house are thrown into the mix while, in the third and final series, there's a time jump and Belly finally has to make a decision between the two brothers. The final episode and presumably the answer will arrive on 15 September. Figuring out whether you're 'Team Jeremiah' (the nice one) or 'Team Conrad' (the broody one) along the way is part of the fun of watching this show. The first episode feels almost ridiculously cheesy and American but the pull of seeing who she actually ends up with may prove stronger than you think. If you want more of the same afterward, seek out the movie adaptation of Jenny Han's To All The Boys I've Loved Before. (Three series) Freaky Friday (1976 film) The original mother-daughter body-swap comedy Certificate: U Barbara Harris and Jodie Foster play mother and daughter who swap bodies in a snappy Disney comedy based on a book by Mary Rodgers - the daughter of Richard Rodgers, of Rodgers and Hammerstein fame. Mary also wrote the screenplay for the film and, while it's fairly easy to predict where it's all going, that's part of the fun with this kind of thing, and both Harris and Foster give spot-on performances along with The Addams Family's John Astin as the dad. There have been updated versions since, notably with Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan in 2003, and again with fun sequel Freakier Friday in 2025 - less notably in musical form, back in 2018 - but the original is still the best, and it's also dated quite hilariously in some regards. Don't miss all the adults smoking and boozing, which you wouldn't find in many other Disney movies, especially ones that involve children and adults swapping bodies. As such, the original might be a bit of a shock for younger audiences today... (97 minutes) Cagney & Lacey Sharon Gless and Tyne Daly plays the 1980s detective duo in this classic US police show Year: 1982-1988 Certificate: 15 Long before Scott and Bailey and Rizzoli and Isles there was Cagney and Lacey, a female police duo who bumped up against the glass ceiling of the NYPD across seven series from 1982 to 1988. Over that time, Sharon Gless and Tyne Daly became so associated with the roles that it might be a bit of a shock on re-watching to discover that Gless wasn't always Cagney. Loretta Swit played her in the pilot movie but couldn't get out of her role on M*A*S*H to take on the show full time, while Meg Foster picked up the Cagney baton for the short, six-part first series. It's said that she wasn't thought to be 'feminine' enough though, and the more glamorous Gless took on the role after that. One of the high points of the series that followed came when the duo tried to flush out an officer who'd been stealing seized heroin, as millions tuned in to the episode on the BBC to see what happened. Audiences in the US regularly hit 30million while the show won 14 Emmy Awards across its run. Gless went on to marry the show's producer, Barney Rosenzweig, in 1991. (Seven series) Australian office sitcom about a lawyer trying to make a new start, now back for a third series Year: 2021- Certificate: 12 Stand-up comedian Kitty Flanagan bagged Australia's equivalent of the Bafta for her deadpan performance as a failing lawyer in this sitcom and it's easy to see why. Her turn as socially inept big-city attorney Helen Tudor-Fisk, who returns to Melbourne from Sydney after her marriage melts down, is bluff and funny. Very much not a people person, she also discovers that she's not much of a dead people person as she takes up a job at a low-rent firm that handles wills and probate. The string of clients trooping through the office adds variety but the real fun comes from Helen's uncomprehending clashes with her family and her new colleagues. Series three is on ITVX now and due on Netflix on 20 August. (Three series) Comic heist movie starring Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson Certificate: 15 Armoured truck drivers Russell (Eddie Murphy) and Travis (Pete Davidson) simply want a quiet, uneventful day - the latter is basking in the glow of a one-night stand while the former just wants to get home to his anniversary celebrations with his wife Natalie (Eva Longoria). A gang of hi-tech crooks with a big plan has other ideas though. Can the blue-collar heroes stay alive long enough to make it to the end of their shift? A big action comedy with several set-pieces, this delivers a steady diet of laughs. Saturday Night Live star Davidson is dopily likeable as the wide-eyed, big-grinned Travis, while Murphy is having great fun as Russell, leaning into his role as the elder comic statesman with 'I'm too old for this stuff' glee. It's the duo's chemistry that makes this work, with solid support from Longoria and Keke Palmer in a side role with a fun twist. (96 minutes)
