Looking for something new to watch this weekend? The Mail's TV experts have sifted through hundreds of programmes to bring you the 20 best shows and films to stream on demand right now… Million Dollar Secret Peter Serafinowicz hosts a deception-based gameshow with $1 million on the line Certificate: 12 Twelve strangers are brought to a lavish estate on the edge of a lake in Canada. The host (British actor Peter Serafinowicz) has placed a box containing $1 million in the room of one of them. Their mission? To keep the fact they have the money secret from all of the other contestants. Completing various tasks (some public, some secret) and taking part in evictions, the contestants must form alliances and using their detection skills try to work out who has the dough. Every time a millionaire is successfully booted out, the money moves to someone else and the game continues. Riding on the coat-tails of The Traitors, it's perhaps not a show drenched in originality, but that doesn't stop it from being a fabulously enjoyable chunk of telly that will keep you reaching for the next episode each time one ends. And Serafinowicz, who's clearly having the time of his life, is a wonderful choice as the plummy-voiced puppetmaster calling all the shots. Imagine a retired James Bond who's turned slightly evil and over-indulged his passions for fine food and even finer wine, and that seems to be the character he's playing. As we said, this is an addictive show so fair warning that it doesn't all arrive at once: the first three arrive in one go, then the next three on 2 April, and the last two on 9 April. The setting for all the scheming is The Stag, a 44-acre estate in Canada's British Columbia. Its real name is Château Okanagan, and it is available to guests for around £9,000 a night. (Eight episodes) The extraordinary story of a London pastry chef's reunion with a woman claiming to be his mother Certificate: 12 When London pastry chef Graham Hornigold heard from a woman claiming to be his mother, it was hugely exciting. Then, when she swept into his life - seemingly full of money, champagne and promises for the future - he was caught up into her globe-trotting whirlwind existence, and it seemed as if Graham and his partner Heather's lives would change completely. And indeed they did. The story that follows is succinctly told by BAFTA-nominated director Nick Green, hearing directly from Graham and Heather as they separately recount the whole tale of his reunion with the woman claiming to be his mother. It's full of colourful details and emotion, and the way it's told makes you feel almost like you're living through it with them. And, if you feel like you've had your fill of scammer documentaries - there are, sadly, no shortage of them - we don't think you've seen one quite like this before. Don't miss how it ends. (88 minutes) Seth Rogen's starry satire of the movie business Certificate: 15 If there are any rules in Hollywood, it's that the place loves filming stories about itself. Such is the business of The Studio, a ten-part comedy dive into the crazy process of movie-making, all hinged around an executive who starts out with the best artistic intentions. Seth Rogen (also the co-creator, co-writer and producer) plays Matt Remick, a new studio head whose job brings him into contact with a seemingly never-ending stream of real Hollywood figures playing themselves - Martin Scorsese, Ron Howard, Zac Efron, Charlize Theron, Steve Buscemi, all clearly having a lot of fun as ego monsters and often not just as cameos, either. And the actors playing Matt's studio colleagues? They include two highly entertaining actors' actors, with Catherine O'Hara (Schitt's Creek) as his wily mentor and Kathryn Hahn (Agatha All Along) as the brutal head of marketing. It's a show all about the tension that comes at the compromise point between art and money, and the farce-like wackiness that ensues when people make promises they can't keep, and even flat out lie to get what they want. Which leads to trouble, tension and seriously hilarious performances, some of which you may want to watch through your fingers - the Ron Howard sequence in particular... (Ten episodes) Mid-Century Modern Nathan Lane stars in a Golden Girls-style houseshare comedy from the creators of Will & Grace Certificate: 15 Were you a Will & Grace fan? Then this sitcom should feel very familiar indeed. It come from Max Mutchnick and David Kohan - the creators of Will & Grace - is directed by US sitcom veteran James Burrows and stars Nathan Lane, Matt Bomer and Nathan Lee Graham as a trio of gay friends reunited by a death. The funeral makes Bunny Schneiderman (Lane, of course) start to worry about what his own future holds, so the friends decide to move in together and thus, a sitcom full of big characters is born. Bomer's ex-Mormon Jerry Frank is young(ish), thick and pretty; Graham's Arthur Broussard is a snarky ex-fashion industry star, while one more character anchor its their flamboyance - Bunny's acidic mother, Sybil, who is played with great style by Linda Lavin. Sadly, it was to be her last performance - the Tony Award-winner sadly died during the making of the show, and her character is written out later on. Like Will & Grace, Vicious and The Golden Girls, Mid-Century Modern is full of wicked put downs and big laughs, and with the occasional note of emotion to give that all enough weight that you care what happens to them all. It's not for fans of subtlety, but that's the great thing about TV - there's something for everyone. If you find yourself smiling at the final scene to episode one, this is probably the show for you. (Ten episodes) Thriller starring Nicole Kidman as a housewife whose husband may have a dark secret Certificate: 18 Welcome to the small US town of Holland in Michigan, a tulip-obsessed slice of middle-American paradise. It certainly seems that way to Nancy Vandergroot (Nicole Kidman), a teacher and mum to young Harry (Jude Hill). She fully embraces life in the town... or at least she does until she begins to suspect that her husband Fred (Matthew Macfadyen) may be cheating on her. Together with her friend Dave (Gael Garcia Bernal), Nancy begins to dig into just what Fred gets up to on his trips away from town and the results are much darker and stranger than she could ever have suspected. Directed with real flair by Mimi Cave, this is a blackly funny oddball thriller that balances scenes of suburban perfection with a genuine sense of creeping menace. (108 minutes) Bridget Christie writes and stars in this sharply written menopause comedy Certificate: 15 When Bridget Christie's self-penned dark comedy arrived in 2023, it was billed as a 'menopause comedy', the stage of life less frequently referred to as 'the change'. For Linda, a woefully underappreciated wife and mother, menopause triggered a massive change in her outlook as she up and left, off on her motorcycle to find herself. What she found was a rural community of misfits. They included Jerome Flynn's soft-spoken woodsman, Paul Whitehouse's sweetly un-PC barfly and the weirdly terrifying Eel sisters (Monica Dolan and Susan Lynch). Whatever change Linda might have been going through, in the first series she became part of something bigger, with way more potential than the domestic setting she had fled. In the second series, Linda is lying low while a sexual revolution bubbles in the Forest of Dean. Word of her ledger has got out - the record she kept of the time it took to complete banal domestic tasks, from laundry to clearing crumbs from the toaster - and like her, the women of the village want that time back. The show develops beyond Linda's menopause story so that there's room for the characters surrounding Linda to grow as they all face change in their own unique ways. Powered by Christie's wry and sharp observations on men and women today, feminism has never been so funny. (Two series) This City Is Ours Gritty, Liverpool-set crime drama where family is everything Certificate: 15 Swap Dublin for Liverpool and you have a crime drama in the same vein as Kin. It's what happens when your family business is drugs - violence and death are never far away. There's a touch of Sexy Beast, too, as the gangsters also spend time roasting in the Spanish sun. Sean Bean and Julie Graham are the elders of the Phelan family, Ronnie and Elaine, ruling the clan with younger enforcers, primarily Michael (James Nelson-Joyce) who is Ronnie's steady right hand. Ronnie's son Jamie (Time's Jack McMullen) wants to step up. Michael, meanwhile, has murkier motives. Does he want to walk a less dangerous path as he tries to start a family with Diana (Hannah Onslow, Belgravia: The Next Chapter), the girlfriend he dotes on? Or does he want to take over and claim the kingpin role for himself? Grounding violent organised crime in the family dynamic is nothing new - from the Godfather to Griselda, The Sopranos to Kin, drive-by shootings, international drug deals and weddings and christenings seem to go hand in hand. This might not have enough to make it stand out from the crowd, but it's diverting and serious and there's a decent cast, with Bean and Graham alongside the rising stars, particularly Nelson-Joyce, who's got the intensity to carry the whole show. (Eight episodes) Andrew Scott's brilliant one-man take on Chekhov's Uncle Vanya, currently dazzling Broadway audiences Certificate: 15 First published in 1897, Chekhov's play is a story of love triangles and frustrated rural ambition, and is delivered by Andrew Scott here as a blistering one-man show for the National Theatre. It's a rollercoaster ride of emotion that feels very modern - Scott, along with adapter Simon Stephens, director Sam Yates and designer Rosanna Vize, have dug into the play and found the timeless humour and humanity at its core and presented that in stripped-back form. You won't spot any dour period garb on stage here. Why do it as a one-man show in the first place, though? The simple answer is why not, as Scott is immensely watchable throughout the 100-minute running time. It's about raw emotion, and Scott simply has the nerve to do such things as stage a one-man sex scene without it looking ridiculous. Uncle Vanya - or simply Vanya, as it his here - is fundamentally a simple story about the frustrated loves and desires of a group of characters, and having them all played by one man feels, by the end, like a smart comment about what unites us rather than what divides us. The production has since gone stateside, and found rave reviews on Broadway. (100 minutes) Neil & Martin's Bon Voyage The Men Behaving Badly stars reunite for a boozy tour of Morrissey's 'second home' of southern France Back in the 90s, Martin Clunes and Neil Morrissey were living the high life on the sitcom Men Behaving Badly. They saw each other all the time and had a grand old time into the bargain. Fast forward a couple of decades and times have changed, but how much? For this cheery three-parter about two 'slightly older men trying not to behave badly', Morrissey invites Clunes to France, where the duo embark on a banter-filled adventure in the country he has made his second home. It's rather like a juvenile take on The Trip, with the duo dining in an idyllic rural French restaurant as Morrissey sticks food on his face and Clunes remembers 'signing a lady's bosom' during a Men Behaving Badly book signing in Manchester (different times). Morrissey is full of facts about booze, having had a pub for the past ten years and become a keen brewer of beer. Clunes happily takes it all in - the sights, sounds and liquids, as Morrissey steers their journey. 'It's tough working in television,' Clunes reflects, before sticking beer caps in his eyes. It's that kind of show, and a very jolly way to spends a few hours, especially with all those 90s classics drifting past on the soundtrack. (Three episodes) Argentinian mystery series based on one of Harlan Coben's best-selling books Certificate: 15 The conveyor belt of adaptations of the works of Harlan Coben continues to provide Netflix with twisty-turny thriller after thriller. The latest one to hit the streaming service is this Argentinian adaptation of his 2010 novel Caught. The six-part Spanish-language mystery thriller introduces journalist Ema Garay (Soledad Villamil). Based in Patagonia in the south of Argentina, Garay has made a name for herself by exposing the activities of criminals who have been able to evade the law. Her investigation into a respected community figure and his possible connection to the disappearance of a 16-year-old girl takes her deep into a web of lies and deception that has unsettling and dangerous links to her own past. Icy and atmospheric, it's an excellent dark mystery drama with all the unpredictable plot developments that Coben fans relish. (Six episodes) Bosch: Legacy Noirish private eye spin-off for Michael Connelly's LA detective Year: 2022-2025 Certificate: 15 Michael Connelly's LA cop novels are very popular in the US and led to seven series of brooding Amazon show Bosch, starring Lost's Titus Welliver as a steely-eyed private investigator. In Bosch: Legacy he's out of the LAPD after 26 years' service, now working as a private eye - and the noirish stylings of this follow-up show lend itself well to exploring that line of work. But we still have one foot inside the police force too, as Bosch's daughter has followed in his footsteps. The banter between the two gives this show a strong emotional core. Legacy is available on Freevee, the ad-supported free tier of Prime Video, where you can also find the original Bosch series. Series one of the show is based on Connelly's Bosch book The Wrong Side Of Goodbye, series two uses The Crossing as its inspiration while the most recent third series is also its last. (Three series) David Blaine Do Not Attempt The great illusionist travels the world, learning from ordinary folk whose special skills make them seem magic Certificate: 18 As David Blaine has demonstrated time and again, the art of magic goes way beyond simple tricks. For this series he's travelling the world to meet ordinary people performing incredible feats that look like magic - then, they give him a 'crash course' in their special skill. It's rather like an adult gap year, with Blaine dropping in on Brazil, India, Japan and even the Arctic Circle across a six-part series that takes you into one extraordinary world after another, from people who put knives up their noses to free divers who swim with apex predators. It's all grist to Blaine's mill of inspiration, firing him up to devise new stunts. This is quite literally the case in the first episode, in which he sets himself on fire and jumps off a bridge. Rather him than us, but it certainly makes for spectacular viewing. (Six episodes) Mufasa: The Lion King Disney's live-action prequel, directed by Barry Jenkins and with songs from Lin-Manuel Miranda Certificate: pg The original 1994 Lion King told the story of the rise of cute Simba, as he was caught in the crossfire of a feud between his father Mufasa and Mufasa's devilish brother, Scar. In 2019, the movie was remade with animation so photorealistic it was virtually live action - but wasn't nearly the smash hit the original was with audiences, many of whom found it more like a cool-headed wildlife documentary than a tale to send our hearts soaring. That photorealistic animation has certainly moved up a gear for this prequel about Mufasa's rise, which is directed by none other than Barry Jenkins, the man behind the Oscar-winning Moonlight, and does a better job of capturing emotion and humour. Lin-Manuel Miranda's songs are great, Billy Eichner and Seth Rogen are fun as Timon and Pumbaa and, while there may be too much digging back into the side material of the original film - you may want to rewatch that first to understand it all - this is certainly stunning to look at and has done much to bury the memories of 2019. And listen out for Beyoncé as Nala, Simba's mate. (118 minutes) The Fire Inside The electrifying true underdog story of American boxer Claressa Shields Certificate: 12 Cast your mind back to the glory days of London 2012 and to the women's boxing, when the American Claressa Shields won her first Olympic gold. Shields has gone on to an extraordinary career since, but Rachel Morrison's assured film - which is also, incredibly, her feature directorial debut - is the story of those early days, of Shields's rise through a local boxing gym in Flint, Michigan, with a father-figure trainer (Brian Tyree Henry). Now, if Flint rings any bells from a British point of view it's probably because of the water contamination crisis of the mid 2010s. The city has a real underdog feel as a result, one that further frames the story of Claressa who, coming from a less than stable home, is already an underdog. We expect things from boxing underdog movies - personal sacrifice, a more privileged opponent, a training montage - and all of them are present in The Fire Inside. Yet where the film really marks itself out is in what comes after the Olympics and all those electrifying bouts. It's in the struggle to make it all matter to the world and for Shields, in short, to get paid. The uncomfortable portrait this paints of the economic side of women's sport reminds us that, much more than for the men, it's not just about the fight in the ring. (109 minutes) Bring Them Down Simmering Irish revenge thriller about the rivalry between rural families Certificate: 15 A tense, rural Irish revenge thriller in which you really wouldn't want to be any of the characters, even for a moment, this is also the debut feature of writer-director Christopher Andrews. Barry Keoghan (Saltburn) and Christopher Abbott (The Sinner) star in a story of rivalry between farming families that dramatically escalates after a theft, and which switches perspective around halfway through to give you each family's side of the story. Domestic violence and damaging paternal expectations are swirled into the mix, along with one moment of humour from Colm Meaney as the dad of Abbott's character. It's a drop in the ocean of the darkly gripping grimness that comprises the majority of the runtime, but it's all very finely acted - Keoghan is low-key and naturalistic, his character coming across as mentally about 13, while you'd never guess that Abbott is actually American. They've even got him speaking Gaelic, here. If you're squeamish about scenes of harm to animals, particularly sheep, you might want to give this one a pass. (106 minutes) Douglas Adams: The Man Who Imagined Our Future Personal portrait of the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy author Certificate: 12 This profile of The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy author opens with a reading of his famous story from the International Space Station, so you know it's going to be something special. It's an entirely fitting approach and draws on 60 boxes of notebooks, scripts, photographs and voice recordings to tell his story, hearing from friends such as Griff Rhys Jones, who went to school with Adams at Brentwood, and remembers how he seemed like someone who would leave to 'conquer the world'. The pair reunited on the amateur theatrical scene at Cambridge - there, Adams became a writer for Footlights, delivering the kind of surreal material you'd expect. A fittingly odd interlude as a bodyguard for Arabian royalty followed before Hitchhiker's Guide became a reality, first on the radio and then as a book, a TV series and ultimately a film. What's easy to forget about Adams is how global his success was, perhaps because his fiction had so many ideas that fired the imagination as well as tickled the funny bone. He didn't just create a universal translator for his characters to understand aliens, like in Doctor Who or Star Trek - no, the 6ft 5in writer came up with a fish that fed off brain waves to create the translation. It was an idea that also, as Adams had it, disproved the existence of God. You'll have to re-read it to understand that bit, if you don't remember - but only he could dream up technology like that. Radio 1's Sian Eleri investigates the paranormal activity around Wales Year: 2023- Certificate: 15 Channelling the spirit of X-Files sceptic Dana Scully, Radio 1 presenter Sian Eleri takes a deep dive into creepy and unexplained phenomena in her native Wales. She's naturally curious and a captivating guide to the unsettling events she investigates. In series one, Eleri visited one of Britain's most haunted houses. Penyffordd Farm in north Wales is a family home that made national headlines in the 1990s thanks to more than 300 reports of paranormal activity, including the appearance of a ghostly girl. Unusually, there is a wealth of archive and documented evidence for her to dig into. The same is also true for the case covered in series two, of mass UFO sightings in 1977, with evidence including recently declassified government documents. In the seaside village of Broad Haven, 14 schoolboys made global headlines when they reported seeing a UFO in their playground. Eleri learns that the phenomena was not just confined to the village, but stretched all along the coast as far as Swansea. There were further sightings in 1983. Was it aliens, secret military craft, or a joke that went too far? In series three, Sian opens the case of Scottish medium Helen Duncan, who in 1944 became the last person convicted and imprisoned under the Witchcraft Act. Those who flocked to Duncan's seances believed she had the power to speak to the spirits of the dead, but the court thought otherwise. So, was Helen a fake medium, or did she really have a connection with the afterlife? (Two series) Gold & Greed: The Hunt For Fenn's Treasure Documentary series about a 21st-century hunt for a hidden treasure chest Certificate: 15 In 2010, art dealer Forrest Fenn announced that he had hidden a chest full of gold and jewels in a mountain range north of the New Mexico city of Santa Fe. The only clues to the treasure's location? A book of short stories and a cryptic 24-line poem. Fenn's act sparked a decade-long search that saw increasingly obsessed treasure hunters prowling through the Rocky Mountains with the aim of finding the stash. This three-part documentary series looks at the mismatched assortment of men and women who put their jobs, families and even lives on the line in order to take part in the hunt for Fenn's treasure, introducing us to those who persisted and those who gave up, those who failed and ultimately the one treasure hunter who succeeded. It's a fascinating series, part problem-solving mysteries, part wilderness-survival stories. (Three episodes) Number One On The Call Sheet Two-part documentary exploring the experiences of black actors in Hollywood Certificate: 15 The title of this two-part documentary series refers to the Hollywood slang for the lead performer in a movie - to be number one on the call sheet is to be the first name listed on the daily shooting schedule, the most important on-screen player in a production. It's a distinction that until a few decades ago had been vanishingly rare for black actors, but the stars who changed all that - along with those who followed in their footsteps - are almost all featured here. Idris Elba, Denzel Washington, Jamie Foxx, Octavia Spencer, Will Smith, Halle Berry, Whoopi Goldberg, Tessa Thompson, Kevin Hart, Morgan Freeman, Michael B Jordan, Cynthia Erivo, Eddie Murphy, Viola Davis, Dwayne Johnson and countless others recount their stories in a genuinely enthralling look behind the scenes of a changing Hollywood. Part one examines the stories of black men with part two revealing those of black women. (Two episodes) The Life And Murder Of Nicole Brown Simpson A chance for Nicole's voice to be heard in one of the most notorious crimes and trials in history. Certificate: 12 'No one should be remembered for their last moments, their last hours, their last day.' Tragically, that was the fate of Nicole Brown Simpson, who was stabbed to death, along with her friend Ron Goldman, at her home in Los Angeles in 1994. We all know what happened next, and it had very little to do with Nicole, and much more to do with her ex-husband, OJ Simpson. The actor and retired American football star went on the run before his controversial trial for the murder of Nicole and Goldman, and few criminal trials have been as discussed or as pored over in television documentaries and dramas before or since. This four-part docuseries does something to redress this, as Nicole's family and closest friends, among them her sisters and Kris Jenner, as well as police and journalists intimately acquainted with the case, recall not only the events surrounding Nicole's death and OJ's trial, but also her role as a doting mother, loyal sister, daughter and friend. We also hear, tellingly, about how she escaped her marriage to the controlling Simpson. (Four episodes)
