SKY, BRITBOX, DISNEY+, DISCOVERY+ & APPLE TV+
Big Sky
Star is a new channel housed under the Disney+ banner. It will carry programming aimed at adults, rather than the family or younger viewer content with which the Disney brand is principally associated.
As well as offering a collection of classics such as The X-Files, Lost, 24 and Modern Family, it’s also launching with some originals. Big Sky is a crime thriller from David E. Kelley featuring Ryan Phillippe.
When two young sisters go missing on a remote highway, a detective and her former friend – an ex-cop – who have fallen out over a man join forces to investigate. There’s a twist at the end of the first episode but this falls short of Kelley’s usual standard.

Can’t Get You Out Of My Head
Does Adam Curtis simply assemble a collection of archive footage and arresting images and then try to graft a unifying thesis on to them? For example, in the first film of this new series of six, he attempts to thread together such disparate elements as the Mau Mau uprising in Kenya, Mao Tse Tung’s wife, the Illuminati, the former model Sandra Paul (now Sandra Howard) and Boolean logic in service of a waftily vague theory about power structures and individualism.
It’s entertaining. Indeed, it’s almost mesmerising with Curtis’s narration, but at the end you’re left wondering what it is you’ve just watched. BBC iPlayer, available now
