Pauline Boty: I Am the Sixties

9pm, Sky Atlantic
The subtler theme tune may not be as catchy, but Mike White’s hotel-set drama-satire is building the suspense of tragedy ahead nicely (well, horribly). “This is what it looks like before a tsunami,” is one wealthy guest’s observation at the start of episode three. Cue a family in financial crisis, dangerous reunions and, erm, more hints of incest. HR
