Allegiance
9pm, U&Alibi
Another edition of the excellent Canadian police procedural, led by Supinder Wraich as Sabrina Sohal, an idealistic rookie in British Columbia’s Serious Crimes Unit. What seems like a fairly routine murder leads, once again, to a deeper story, which points the cops towards considering the plight of citizens who are disenfranchised or discriminated against.

Misericordia (Alain Guiraudie, 2024) 10.55pm, Film4
Alain Guiraudie’s latest film starts out as a slice of French rural social realism, but gets more twisted as it goes along. Jérémie (Félix Kysyl) attends the funeral of a village baker he worked for in his youth. He is put up for the night by the widow, Martine (Catherine Frot), then decides to hang around – to the fury of her son, Vincent (Jean-Baptiste Durand). An atmosphere of danger and sexual tension lingers around Jérémie, which ultimately drags in the mother, the son and even the local priest. Simon Wardell
