What the new Top Gun movie does well to depict though is the TOPGUN stuff. Not only do Joseph Kosinski and Co. have a grip on the action and how it's put together, there's an undercurrent of tension at the root of everything on Top Gun: Maverick. This is old-fashioned summer popcorn movie fun in all its high-octane glory. And Cruise is just the leading man for the mission.

"Breaking Bad" was undeniably one of the greatest shows of the 21st century. If you then hear that one of the characters got a spinoff show, you could be forgiven for doubting the quality. Well, doubt no more. "Better Call Saul" is an equally fine piece of work. It has all the quality and conviction of its predecessor, and the almighty Bob Odenkirk.

"Mayor of Kingstown" explores the racial inequalities of the American corrections system, and it raises interesting questions about cyclical violence and how it erodes empathy, desensitizing those surrounded by violence to the horrors of it. Season 1 is a slow burn that ends with a shocking uprising that promises to change the lives of everyone involved.

A hard hitting storyline that's given more weight by the fact its based on a true story. They could of done so much more with the storyline.
