This week's highlights

Living with Yourself: Season 1 (18/10/2019)

Proving that two Paul Rudds are better than one, Living with Yourself is an existential comedy with a mind-bending premise that's right out of a Rick and Morty episode. Miles (Paul Rudd) is a man who finds himself struggling at life, and decides to do something about it by visiting an intriguing spa which promises to make him a better person. Unfortunately for Miles, that better person has materialised as a separate entity and has taken over his actual life. Funny thing is, everyone prefers this new and improved version. Directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris (Little Miss Sunshine), Living with Yourself is sure to be delightfully quirky and heart-warming in equal measure.

The Laundromat (18/10/2019)

From acclaimed director Steven Soderbergh (Ocean's Eleven, Magic Mike) comes The Laundromat, a star-stuffed affair that sees a woman named Ellen Martin (Meryl Streep) investigate an insurance fraud that leads back to a Panama City-based law firm (run by Gary Oldman and Antonio Banderas) whose sole purpose is to help the world's wealthiest citizens amass even larger fortunes. Now, Ellen's determined to uncover this corrupt system and bring it down. 

Arrow: Season 7 (16/10/2019)

Unmasked to the public and serving a life sentence in prison, the Green Arrow's troubles have only just begun. Unable to protect his family while incarcerated, Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) must find a way to survive while the villainous Ricardo Diaz (Kirk Acevedo) continues his reign of terror on the outside. Meanwhile, a ban on vigilantes has left Star City unprotected, leaving Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) to fend for herself using drastic measures. With the eighth and final season of Arrow set to drop soon, now's the perfect time to catch up before the show comes to a close.
