Women In Blue, Apple TV+
This crime drama returns with its fictionalised take on an all-female police unit in 1970s Mexico.

Reacher, Prime Video

Naturally, Reacher responds in the only way he knows how: by asking questions, following the evidence and taking down anyone who gets in his way. The latest season has all the ingredients fans have come to expect – dry one-liners, elaborate conspiracies and plenty of very large-scale violence.
