There are shades of Xena: Warrior Princess in the return of the Blackbloods fantasy. Plus: Irvine Welsh tackles social media and cancel culture. Here’s what to watch this evening
Jessica Green reprises her role as Talon, the sorceress survivor of the race of Blackbloods in the third season of this entertaining, if ham-fisted, fantasy series. After last season’s cliffhanger betrayal by Zed (Reece Ritchie), we open with Talon in the titular outpost, fighting for freedom for her newfound human friends. There is a touch of late-90s kitsch in the style of Xena: Warrior Princess in the fight scenes, but the melodrama provides enough intrigue. Ammar Kalia
