What to watch this week, from The Walsh Sisters to The Night Agent

Our TV critic on the best new shows airing and streaming

The Walsh Sisters

(BBC One)

Finally arriving in the UK after airing on RTÉ last November, this darkly comic series about lovable sisters is a testament to the powers of Marian Keyes, whose novels Rachel’s Holiday and Anybody Out There? are the basis of the script.

The Night Agent

(Netflix)

The third season of the political thriller draws FBI agent Peter Sutherland out to Istanbul. There he is thrown into dark money circles and up against restless journalists and must-avoid paid killers.

The Last Thing He Told Me

(Apple TV)

Jennifer Garner returns to this glossy murder mystery about the exhaustingly wealthy. Set five years after the first season, Hannah’s (Garner) husband is no longer missing but now on the run, placing their family in danger.
