A Friday the 13th prequel series produced by A24? Halloween has come early for gorefest fans. Linda Cardellini plays small-town single mother Pam Voorhees, who takes her son Jason (Callum Vinson) to summer camp where she works as a cook. But one day Jason drowns in the lake. Fast forward a year, and Pam is grieving but clings to a shred of hope as her son\u2019s body still hasn\u2019t been found. When two cops knock on her door to tell her they have discovered Jason\u2019s remains, things take a huge turn \u2013 and it turns out there\u2019s more to her and Jason\u2019s story than meets the eye \u2026 It has all the jump-scare beats of a classic 70s slasher movie and Cardellini gets stuck in \u2013 blood, guts and all.

As the 60th anniversary of the horrifying Welsh disaster is marked, it\u2019s customary to remember Aberfan as simply a tragedy. This deeply affecting documentary recasts it as a scandal, too: an inevitable result of long-running industrial negligence. The memories of eyewitnesses are interspersed with the story of the tireless campaign for accountability. Phil Harrison<\/p>\n

The first episode of this Latvian drama gets a terrestrial airing to mark its launch on Channel 4\u2019s streaming service. It\u2019s the classic love story: hidden-market trade guy falls in love with theatre director gal \u2026 and so does a KGB agent. Expect plenty of drama from this tale of Riga in the 70s.
