House of the Dragon<\/p>\n
9pm, Sky Atlantic
It\u2019s easy to forget what last happened in the disappointingly dull Game of Thrones prequel two years ago. But the bloodiest naval battle in Westeros history \u2013 the Battle of the Gullet \u2013 actually kicks season three off with a bang. The Targaryen civil war finally gets into full gory swing, with Alicent (Olivia Cooke) and Rhaenyra (Emma D\u2019Arcy) orchestrating their moves for the Iron Throne. Yes, there are still too many dislikable characters moping around, and it\u2019s not a great sign when the only one you feel anything for is a fire-breathing dragon. But there\u2019s no denying the wow factor of epic sword clashes like this one \u2013 and there are plenty more promised ahead. Plus added James Norton! Hollie Richardson<\/p>\n

If you enjoyed the recent surrealist whodunnit This Is Not a Murder Mystery, there is more art-related slaying in the latest French import from Walter Presents. It sees a celebrated crime novelist head to a snowy Alpine village to shake off his writer\u2019s block \u2013 only to stumble on an eerie murder styled after Vincent van Gogh.
