Elizabeth Olsen is outstanding as real-life suburban housewife turned murderer Candy Montgomery – who killed her friend and neighbour Betty Gore with 41 blows from an axe – in this seven-part drama (first streamed on ITVX last year). Set in 80s Texas, the slow-burn story begins with Candy starting an affair with Betty’s husband Allan (Jesse Plemons) to escape the mundanities of her small-town Methodist life. Hollie Richardson
Piglets
9.30pm, ITV1
This quirky, gag-a-minute comedy follows six very different trainee police officers. Leading an impressive comic cast are the seniors training them – Sarah Parish is unrecognisable as no-nonsense Supt Julie Spry, while Green Wing’s Mark Heap plays Supt Bob Weekes. On day one, they want to know why the new recruits really signed up. Hollie Richardson
