Anya Taylor-Joy is looking to break away from her criminal past with one last career-crowning heist, while Will Ferrell stars in a fun new comedy as a washed-up golfer

A suitcase full of money in a swanky Vegas hotel room. It’s a conventional way to start a thriller, but even if Lucky never threatens to shatter any paradigms it fulfils its edgy, twisty brief. Anya Taylor-Joy stars as Lucky, a woman who thinks she’s pulled off a career-crowning heist with lover Cary (Drew Starkey), only to wake the following day with a belting hangover in an empty bed. Worse still, while the cash has gone, its original owners haven’t – and soon she has Annette Bening’s mob boss Priscilla on her tail as well as the Feds. Lucky doesn’t hold much back – the first episode is basically one long chase scene – but as long as you leave plausibility concerns at the door, you’ll have a blast. Apple TV, from Wednesday 15 July
