Frontline: Michael Flynn’s Holy War
8.35pm, PBS America
This documentary tracks the jaw-dropping path of Michael Flynn – one of the scariest poster boys for the irrational, anti-logical hysteria that has gripped rightwing America during (and subsequent to) the presidency of Donald Trump. The retired three-star general managed 22 days as Trump’s national security adviser before he resigned and pleaded guilty to making false statements to the FBI. He’s now a full-on Christian nationalist who embraces election denial and QAnon conspiracies. Phil Harrison

Jung_E (Yeon Sang-ho, 2023), Netflix
Yeon Sang-ho, creator of Train to Busan and Netflix hit Hellbound, ponders the nature of existence while smashing things up in this dystopian sci-fi tale. The brain of comatose war hero Jung Yi (Kim Hyun-joo) is uploaded 40 years later into a series of experimental combat robots, RoboCop-style, as a war between Earth and space colonists rages. Her daughter, Seo-Hyun (Kang Soo-yeon), is the lead researcher but becomes concerned about how her mother’s body is being exploited by the corporation that owns it. The android-on-android action arrives late in the day, but it’s worth it. Simon Wardell
Dreamland (Miles Joris-Peyrafitte, 2019), 9pm, Film4
Margot Robbie, always worthy of your time, shines as a bank robber on the run in Miles Joris-Peyrafitte’s Great Depression crime drama. After a heist goes wrong, Allison (Robbie) hides out on a failing small-town farm in Texas, where she persuades teenager Eugene (Finn Cole) to help her evade capture. He is drawn to her vivacity, and also the possibility of escape she offers from his dead-end future. It’s a film of dust, drought and desperation with daunting widescreen landscapes that owe an obvious debt to Terrence Malick. SW
