What to watch this week, from OnlyFans: Inside the Machine to Harlan Coben’s I Will Find You

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

OnlyFans: Inside the Machine

BBC Three

A documentary about OnlyFans, the multibillion-pound-generating online subscription platform for adult content. Amber Haque specifically looks at the managers who take huge commissions and entangle the mainly female creators in a web of coercion, threats and violence. As enlightening as it is depressing.

The Traitors US

BBC One

Fourth series return of the show’s American spin-off hosted by Alan Cumming (giving Claudia Winkleman a run for her money with the eye-catching togs), and, as ever, brimming with reality TV presence. It should tide us over until our homegrown versions return. 

Train-ing It With Joe Wilkinson

Channel 4

The comedian (After Life, The Celebrity Traitors) embarks on railway journeys with celebrities. The first participant, actor Michael Sheen, travels with Wilkinson from London’s Waterloo to Kingston.
