Faith Ba$ed
(2020) 15 u (Sky Store) ★★★ In a gentle Hollywood satire, two slackers hit on the idea of making a Christian movie to turn a quick buck. Look out for the supporting cast of comedy veterans, such as Seinfeld’s Jason Alexander and Anchorman’s David Koechner. From Monday.
AMAZON PRIME
NEW! Truth Seekers (All eight episodes) ★★★★ Amiable supernatural comedy from Nick Frost and Simon Pegg, with Frost as a lonely broadband engineer whose sideline in spooky investigations becomes much more important after he takes on a new partner. A good cast, plus the duo’s very particularly British charm, make this the kind of show best enjoyed with a cup of tea and a biscuit. From Friday.
NEW! The Wine Show (Season 3)
