Nocturne to The One About Matthew Perry: the seven best shows to stream this week

Stephen Graham nails another standout performance as a serial killer in a creepy thriller. Plus, laughter and tears in an intimate look at the life of the late Friends star

Pick of the week Nocturne

Stephen Graham gives good serial killer. Even in isolation, in the bowels of a prison psychiatric ward, he’s the unnervingly calm yet relentlessly beating heart of this creepy, claustrophobic thriller. Somehow, Jurek Walter (Graham) is still making waves outside the facility: when a kidnapped child returns, seemingly from the dead (his sister is still missing), the cops are certain Walter must be involved. However, his alibi could hardly be more solid. Soon, Jonah Lynn (Liev Schreiber), the cop who put him away, is back on the case, sending his FBI agent surrogate daughter Saga (Zazie Beetz) into the prison, undercover, as an inmate. It seems risky and, sure enough, it is. Apple TV, from Friday 30 October

The Guest List

Filmed as a “vertical drama” (it’s short and the visual format is designed for smartphone viewing), this five-part series was made in partnership with a global beauty brand. But for all the presentational quirks, the premise is very traditional: four London women, in microcosm, over the course of an evening preparing for a night out. Along the way, they navigate everything from unreasonable bosses to a phone-snatching via laughter, gossip and friendship. It won’t win any Baftas but it passes muster as an innovative advertising campaign. Channel 4, out now

Minimum Wage

This fun mockumentary about a shambolic pizzeria run by incompetent teenagers made its name as a series of five-minute YouTube shorts. Netflix has expanded the format to 12 minutes an episode but Minimum Wage’s lo-fi charm remains intact. However, now the stakes are higher: the owner of the business, who was largely absent from the web series, has turned up and told the gang that unless they start turning a profit, the building will be sold to developers. Cue hapless promotions, health and safety crises and general slacker chaos. Netflix, from Monday 26 October
