" (10/1, Max).

Noah Wyle played Dr Carter in "Cityakuten". Now he's back in a series that reminds so much of the 90s classic that it's been accused of plagiarism. But now Wyle plays Dr Robby, and the series takes place in real-time – each episode is an hour of a workday.

"

" (9/1, Netflix).

Very dark western series about a lawless time – 1857 in Utah – when battles are fought between criminals, the Mormon militia, the military, and indigenous peoples. In this chaos, city woman Sara (Betty Gilpin) asks for help from guide Isaac (Taylor Kitsch) to take her and her son west.

Dick Wolf is the TV producer behind all "Law & order" series – and this new police drama in Los Angeles. Seasoned Traci (Troian Bellisario) takes on newcomer Alex (Brandon Larracuente). For extra social realism, much of the series is filmed with police "body cameras".

British thriller series about every parent's worst nightmare. Couple Pete (James Norton) and Maddie (Niamh Algar) find out that they brought home the wrong baby from the hospital. When they try to come to an agreement with the parents who got their baby, the nightmare begins.
