Seven Seconds (Friday, Netflix)
A hard-hitting drama series which taps into the Black Lives Matter movement, and addresses the ongoing issue of the dysfunctional relationship between US law enforcement and the black community. The story revolves around a hit-and-run in which a black teenager is left for dead. The driver, a white cop, tries to cover up his crime, with help from his fellow officers, while the boy's distraught parents try to get justice for their son from a jaded prosecutor.

Mosaic (Saturday, Sky Atlantic, 10pm)

Sharon Stone plays a successful children's author, Olivia Lake, who lives in a super-affluent neighbourhood among the ski resorts and mineral mines of Utah, where the ultra-rich residents seem to set their own rules, and are ruthlessly protective of the moneyed status quo. When Olivia disappears in suspicious circumstances, all the nasty little secrets and lies soon come to the surface. Look out for other blasts from the past in the cast, including Paul Reubens and Beau Bridges.

Troy: Fall of a City (Saturday, BBC One, 9.10pm)
An eight-part drama created by David Farr, the man behind the most excellent The Night Manager. The classic tale of the siege of Troy is told from the perspective of a young herdsman, Paris, whose life (and the course of history) is changed by an encounter with the gods (they were quite numerous in those days). David Threlfall, Frances O'Connor and Louis Hunter are among the cast who work like Trojans to bring this semi-mythical tale to life.
