Top Picks for TV Viewing This Week
The Devil Wears Prada 2 (Disney+, Wednesday 29 July)
Miranda Priestly is back, and the last 20 years haven’t diminished her hauteur one iota. In David Frankel’s couture-drenched comic sequel, Anne Hathaway’s Andy is now an award-winning investigative journalist, hired to improve Runway’s reputation. Meryl Streep’s disdainful Priestly throws all she has at her, but the real conflict is against the internet and declining print sales. It’s a jolly, aspirational outing boosted by scene-stealers Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt.

Lurker (Sky Cinema Premiere, Saturday 25 July, 6.15pm)
Alex Russell’s intense drama follows Matthew (Théodore Pellerin), a LA clothes shop worker who talks his way into the entourage of easy-going British musician Oliver (Archie Madekwe). As Matthew’s neediness shifts from embarrassing to excruciating, the power balance between them shifts dramatically.
Monster (BBC Four, Saturday 25 July, 10.25pm)
Japanese film-maker Hirokazu Kore-eda delivers another compelling look into children’s inner worlds.

But as the story unfolds from other viewpoints, a heartbreaking tale of friendship and difference emerges.
Eleanor the Great (Scarlett Johansson’s Directorial Debut)
