We can all feel a bit overwhelmed when looking for something to watch in the world of streaming, so if you're in need of some guidance, you've come to the right place.

This week: Neil Forsyth, writer of the acclaimed heist drama The Gold, now dramatises the rollicking true story of how UK Customs officials tried to infiltrate gangs bringing drugs into the UK in the early 1990s in new Netflix drama Legends. Steve Coogan is fantastic as the agents’ mentor alongside Tom Burke and Hayley Squires.

On the same platform is thought-provoking true-crime documentary Should I Marry a Murderer?, forensic pathologist Caroline Muirhead stays engaged to her fiancé after his murder confession to secretly help police gather evidence.

New to Apple TV is very funny new comedy horror Widow's Bay, in which Matthew Rhys has a rare chance to show off his comic chops. He’s the mayor of an island that wants to attract more tourists – but is it beholden to an ancient curse?

Over on Prime Video, The House of the Spirits - an adaptation of Isabel Allende’s novel - follows generations of the Trueba family as love, politics and magical realism intertwine in a turbulent South American nation.
For the film fans among you, there's plenty to choose from. Downton Abbey: the Grand Finale, the final chapter in Julian Fellowes’s beloved period saga, is available to stream on NOW. Starring Hugh Bonneville, Michelle Dockery and Elizabeth McGovern, the film sees the Crawley family face scandal, money worries and the realities of a changing world.

Also on NOW is Emerald Fennell’s bold reimagining of Emily Brontë’s classic Wuthering Heights, which casts Margot Robbie as Catherine Earnshaw opposite Jacob Elordi’s Heathcliff. Their obsessive, destructive romance is framed amid windswept Yorkshire moors with heightened emotion, modern flourishes and Gothic intensity - though purists beware...

Disney+'s Send Help from Evil Dead director Sam Raimi is a darkly comic survival thriller following two colleagues stranded after a plane crash, forced to confront power dynamics, resentment and ingenuity while battling nature, hunger and each other to stay alive.
