The brilliant Better Call Saul returns, The Good Fight continues, and there are docs on John Hume, non-UK doctors in the UK and Saturn
Pick of the day
Better Call Saul, Netflix
This Emmy-nominated prequel to Breaking Bad is back for a fourth season and just keeps getting better and better as it follows small-time attorney Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) as he transforms into morally challenged lawyer Saul Goodman.
Chuck’s death catalyses Jimmy and in the wake of his loss, he takes steps into the criminal world that will put his future as a lawyer - and his relationship with Kim (Rhea Seehorn) - in jeopardy.
A superb cast includes Odenkirk, Seehorn, Jonathan Banks, Patrick Fabian, Michael Mando, and Giancarlo Esposito. No more Chuck so no more Michael McKean either.
New episodes will be available to download on a weekly basis each Tuesday morning.
Here's a featurette setting things up:
