Each week our man Steve Charnock breaks into the vast vaults of the UK’s many streaming services, emerging with a swag bag of deserted diamonds, hidden gems and genre gold. Forget the latest in disposable ‘content’, it’s time to work on your watchlist..

. Streaming services are always telling us all about their endless new films and TV shows. Some of it’s worth watching, while a lot of it is a bigger waste of time than trying to work out which is Willem Dafoe’s ‘best side’.

Netflix , Amazon Prime Video , Apple TV+ , Disney Plus , NOW TV , BBC iPlayer...

They’re all jammed solid with high-quality old stuff, though. Or ‘content’ as they rather off-puttingly refer to it. When it’s not being pushed at you, it’s all rather easy to overlook.

Fans of the colour and literal film titles will be pleased to learn that the main room in Green Room is actually quite green. Despite the context for the phrase here being the waiting area reserved for performers backstage at venues, director Jeremy Saulnier still opts for a pleasing palette of olive, pea, emerald, sage, sea and puke greens throughout this incredibly urgent and gut-wrenching sucker punch of a film. Similar to how he tinged his previous film, 2013’s incredible-yet-muted revenge thriller Blue Ruin – you guessed it – blue.

Saulnier surely must be a candidate for the best les.
