IF YOU HAVE 70 MINUTES…

Watch: Westworld Series 3

What's it about: The third series of the complicated but thought-provoking sci-fi series extends the scope of the story beyond the robot-filled amusement park of the title and into the real world, much of it in Singapore for some reason. As always, the cast is excellent, the ideas big and provocative and the relevance always sitting there, unsettling in the back of the mind, as the robots continue their search for answers.

Where to stream it: Showmax (new episodes every Monday)

Watch: Blonde 

What's it about: A 2001 miniseries adaptation of the ambitious and brilliant novel by Joyce Carol Oates. It is the story of Marilyn Monroe told yet again but with a singularly intense inner focus and invention that asks difficult questions about the relationships between personal struggle and public perceptions.

Where to stream it: Amazon Prime Video

Watch: 100 Humans 

What's it about: An entertaining docuseries that records the results of several experiments conducted using ordinary people to try to answer some of those constantly nagging questions, like what makes us attractive, what makes us happy and what's the best age to be alive?

Where to stream it: Netflix

Watch: Valhalla Murders 

What's it about: Another addition to the ever-popular genre of Scandi noir, in which a determined Icelandic detective and her coldly efficient Norwegian counterpart must work against the clock to solve a baffling series of very personal and gruesome murders.

Where to stream it: Netflix

What's it about: The classic 1994 British romcom gets a sometimes exasperating but often decently funny and American update in this extended series that offers all the charms and ups and downs that fans of the genre have come to expect and love.
