The Observer’s TV critic Barbara Ellen on the best new shows airing and streaming

Babies

BBC One

Stefan Golaszewski is known for his explorations of supposedly ordinary lives: Him & Her, Marriage, and Mum. In this new drama, he tackles the agony of miscarriage through the raw experience of a thirtysomething couple played by Paapa Essiedu and Siobhan Cullen. Charlotte Riley and Jack Bannon also star.

Click to Kill: The AI War Machine

Channel 4

From Adam Wishart (9/11: Inside the President’s War Room; 7/7: The London Bombings), a disturbing documentary examining the morally fraught new-tech arms race. Will AI tools make wars even deadlier?

Secrets of the Bees

Disney Plus

Absorbing docuseries exploring bees: how they support global ecosystems, and how their population is threatened. Narrated by National Geographic explorer and wildlife film-maker Bertie Gregory and produced by Titanic’s James Cameron.

Your Friends & Neighbours

Apple TV+

Return of the dark satire of suburban America, starring Jon Hamm as a Don Draper-adjacent ex-financier whose midlife crisis involves secretly stealing from affluent friends.
