Tom Hardy’s fixer Harry Da Souza has spent this season holding the Harrigan family together while new rivals close in and the family turns on itself.

Liev Schreiber’s detective Jonah Lynn moved to a quiet Pennsylvania town for an easier life, and found the serial killer Jurek Walter, played with real menace by Stephen Graham, waiting for him. In tonight’s episode, Zazie Beetz’s FBI agent Saga Bauer edges closer to Jurek while a risky plan takes shape to trap his messenger. It is a slow-burn chiller, ideal for a dark Friday night. We first picked it in our 3 November edition.

A commando team led by Schwarzenegger’s Dutch goes into the Central American jungle on a rescue mission and finds something far worse than the enemy it was sent to fight: an invisible alien hunter picking them off one by one. It is lean, sweaty and still thrilling nearly 40 years on, which makes it a perfect Friday the 13th film. It turns 40 next year, when it heads back to UK cinemas, as we revealed in our exclusive.
Perfect if you liked Aliens, Die Hard or Prey.

Two brothers, played by Chris Pine and Ben Foster, rob branches of the bank that is about to take their family’s West Texas ranch, while Jeff Bridges’ nearly retired Texas Ranger slowly closes in.

If you like Stallone tonight, this is the perfect follow-up.
