A high-stakes political thriller From a pacy political drama about the young Elizabeth I to Lady Gaga in House Of Gucci, here's the best on demand TV to watch this week.

FILM: You can't always bring old fossils back to life - and here's the proof... Jurassic World: Dominion lacks any sense of jeopardy or emotional heart

Just over a fortnight ago, Tom Cruise showed exactly how you breathe new cinematic life into a much-loved old classic. Alas, Jurassic World: Dominion is no Top Gun: Maverick.

29 shares Jurassic World: Dominion review: Where's the emotional heart?

FICTION: From a haunting novel by Phil Rickman to This Time Tomorrow from Emma Straub and Geraldine Brooks's latest, this week's best new fiction

Merrily Watkins, priest and exorcist for the diocese of Hereford, is an unusual sleuth. Covid has unleashed new terrors on her remote, rural turf - terrors apparently foretold by a Wordsworth poem.

share This week's best new fiction

NON-FICTION: On the run: Susan Jonusas's grisly crime saga on America's first serial killers, The Bloody Benders, is refreshing but lacks any big reveals

Kansas, 1871. People keep disappearing. Land grabs, blood feuds and plain old thievery could explain why so many travellers have vanished. All the same it is odd.

share Hell's Half Acre review: Where did The Bloody Benders go?

MUSIC: Beatlemania? No, it's Billiemania! Billie Eilish sends fans wild as part-boss, part-life coach and all round pop star at Manchester's AO Arena

Since lockdown, most crowds have been mad for it, but Billie Eilish's fans take the biscuit.

48 shares Billie Eilish review: Beatlemania? No, it's Billiemania!

THEATRE: Cool Britannia? The satirical Tony! The Tony Blair Rock Opera at Park Theatre is a raucous New Labour spoof that's not afraid of a cheap laugh

This is a raucous spoof musical at the expense of New Labour and the embarrassing era of Cool Britannia.

CLASSICAL: Just magical! From spellbinding choreography to enchanting sets and splendid singing, Orfeo at Garsington Opera is a special evening indeed

Monteverdi's Orfeo is perhaps the first-ever opera. It has a lot to answer for, hasn't it? Certainly it's the earliest opera to be regularly performed.

13 shares Orfeo review: A special evening indeed

MUSIC: Satisfaction? It's guaranteed! The Rolling Stones have still got it as the band embarks on their 60th anniversary tour in Madrid

Do you remember the first time you saw The Rolling Stones? Mine was a midsummer night at the old Wembley Stadium 40 years ago.

8 shares The Rolling Stones review: Satisfaction? It's guaranteed!

THEATRE: Amy Adams is more fusty matron than faded magnolia as she makes her stage debut in the stodgy The Glass Menagerie at Duke of York's

Amy Adams is the latest Hollywood star to crop up in the West End, making her stage debut here. Alas, for all her screen attributes she unleashes few thrills.

6 shares The Glass Menagerie review: Amy Adams unleashes few thrills

DEBORAH ROSS: Keeley's drama is sooo slow I just had to switch off... sharpish

The Midwich Cuckoos is an updated retelling of the classic John Wyndham novel, which I first read at school, along with Chocky and The Day Of The Triffids.

share DEBORAH ROSS: Keeley's drama is sooo slow I just had to switch off

CRAIG BROWN: How a bereft son turned his grief into an art form: William Leith's reflections on the chasm between him and his dying father are not macabre but rather darkly comic and exhilarating

No faffing about: William Leith gets straight to the point. 'Ten seconds before my father's death,' reads the first sentence, 'I have a premonition...'

share CRAIG BROWN: How a bereft son turned his grief into an art form

FILM: Jessie Buckley is a joy in folk-horror Men, but I can't shake the feeling it's made for laughs and Harry Enfield's comedy character is rather distracting

Here Alex Garland is with his third film, Men, an exemplar of the popular folk-horror genre, very much in the tradition of The Wicker Man and Midsommar.

1 share Men review: Jessie Buckley is a joy but is it just made for laughs?

ART: The creations on display in the Barbican's Postwar Modern are proof that dark times make for devastatingly good, and understandably bleak, art

If you're the sort of person who goes to an exhibition for a bit of escapism and to look at pretty pictures, this show really isn't for you.

1 share Postwar Modern review: Dark times make for devastatingly good art

CLASSICAL: The orchestra was spellbinding in Samson Et Dalila at the Royal Opera House, but the violent production sadly has very little going for it

I appreciate that Samson Et Dalila is a nasty and violent story of lust, betrayal, torture and death, but it surely can be done - indeed has been done - a bit more stylishly than here.

2 shares Samson Et Dalila review: It could, and should, have been more

FICTION: From Holly Williams's engaging debut to The Sidekick by Benjamin Markovits, a bittersweet marvel from Miriam Toews and Lesley Thomson's latest, this week's best new fiction

This sparky novel may be framed as a letter from nine-year-old Swiv to her absent father, but at heart it's a paean to the might of matriarchies.

1 share This week's best new fiction

NON-FICTION: The nasty truth about Lenin: Antony Beevor doesn't fully explore the USSR's birth, but he still produces a well-researched volume

In 1914 a small, nasty man was arrested as an enemy alien in a remote corner of the Austrian empire. Six years later that same man was the murderous ruler of one sixth of the Earth's surface.
