1. Twin, episodes one and two
★★★★☆
Not to be confused with Twins, the 1980s comedy featuring the unlikely pairing of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito, Twin (BBC Four) is a Norwegian drama which proved such a draw when it premiered last year that it has been sold to more than 40 countries.

★★★★☆
Netflix rarely makes truly extraordinary television. But many of its shows slot squarely into the “pretty good” category.

And, given present circumstances, pretty good is just fine.
