Today's top TV and streaming choices: The Bourne Ultimatum, Crime Scene Cleaners and Shark Whisperer

An Ghig Mhór RTÉ One, 8.30pm The latest established musician lending their expertise to an up-and-coming band is Wyvern Lingo member Karen Cowley, who performs under the name of Krea during her solo career. She takes rockers The Hex from Leixlip under her wing. The excellent Australian crime drama based on the novels of Chris Hammer is back for a second season. This time reporter Martin (Luke Arnold) unearths terrifying secrets during a rare visit to his home town with his new partner Mandy (Bella Heathcote). Continues on Tuesday. Crime Scene Cleaners Channel 4, 10pm Not for the faint-hearted, this new series follows groups of cleaners who have one of the world's most gruesome jobs — clearing up the mess left behind by violent crime. The first episode features the discovery of a body in rural Kent and two grisly murders from across the USA. The Bourne Ultimatum TG4, 9.30pm Espionage thriller in which Matt Damon reprises his role as Jason Bourne. He finally regains his memory, only to discover he's been targeted by a CIA director (David Strathairn). Shark Whisperer Netflix, streaming now Whether you deem her a social media opportunist or a 'changemaking' conservationist, you can't quibble with the (literal) name Ocean Ramsay has made for herself. Melding striking visuals with a close character study, the film dissects the ethical and ecological dilemmas at the heart of environmental activism. Perspectives from scientists, indigenous voices, and conservationists — on all sides — reveal the complexity of Ramsay and the issues she raises. Squid Game Netflix, streaming now Brace yourselves… In the wildly anticipated third and final season of Squid Game, Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae, aka player 456) returns. Haunted by incremental loss, he's determined to end the deadly competition once and for all. His clash with the enigmatic Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) escalates into a (surprise, surprise) grave battle of strategy and morality, as new games and old enemies collide. With the expected level of twists — including a baby being added to the mix and the viral Gachapon craze (plastic vending balls to you) putting in a pivotal appearance — the stakes are high. As surviving players face progressively brutal choices, the line between justice and tainted vengeance increasingly blurs. Can humanity survive the harshest reality? As the world awaits the final answer, writer-director Hwang Dong-hyuk promises a powerful conclusion to the global phenomenon. I think we'll be the collective judges of that. The Charles Ponzi Story AppleTV+, streaming now We've all heard of Ponzi schemes, but what do you know of their namesake? He was a broke immigrant based in 1920s Boston, who rocketed to wealth and infamy in mere months by orchestrating what would become known as the infamous scheme, one of history's boldest financial frauds.
