TV series show: Pain and beauty in 'The Underground Railroad'

ENCORE! © Amazon Prime Video

Alison Sargent brings us a roundup of the very best series hitting streaming services this month, starting with the hotly anticipated adaptation of Colson Whitehead's Pulitzer Prize-winning "The Underground Railroad". Director Barry Jenkins has been praised for his sensitive handling of the story; we discuss how some key screenplay and cinematography decisions bring relief despite the gruelling subject matter.

Also, "Rutherford Falls" provides some warm-hearted humour as well as an impressively diverse writer's room.

Plus we discover French comedy crime show "HPI" on terrestrial television, which is bringing in more viewers than last year's Champions League final.
