The Marvelous Mrs Maisel

Fans have had a long wait for this fourth season (as with so many things, you can blame the virus)… but now we can finally catch up with the mid-century adventures of glass-ceiling-smashing standup comic Midge Maisel. Slick and snappy, it’s arguably Amazon’s best current original show.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre film / Netflix, 18 February

The time-honoured movie studio practice of reviving old horror franchises in search of a fresh audience shows no signs of abating.

A group of well-scrubbed youngsters head to a remote Texas town to start a new business, but disturb a familiar (leather) face in the process…
