Colin Farrell stars in Sugar, the Chicago franchise returns with a threesome of shows, Aisling Bea joins the cast of Avoidance, while the Girls in Green take on France in Metz . . .
Pick of the Day
Sugar, Apple TV+
Colin Farrell stars in what Apple has been describing as a 'genre-bending' take on the typical detective story with its classic setting in Los Angeles, the home of the original literary gumshoes.
If it’s sci-fi meets pulp fiction (that's the Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammet kind), Blade Runner immediately springs to mind.
The series follows the titular detective John Sugar (Farrell) as he goes on the hunt for the missing granddaughter of a big-time Hollywood producer.

Inspired by real events, Scoop is the inside account of the tenacious journalism that landed an earthshattering interview - Britain's Prince Andrew's infamous BBC Newsnight appearance.
The impressive cast includes Gillian Anderson, Keeley Hawes, Billie Piper and Rufus Sewell.

It takes viewers inside the story, with the women who would stop at nothing to get it. As the saying goes: to get an interview this big, you must be bold.
And Andrew was a very naughty boy.
