The problem with authorised biographies is that you risk getting the authorised version of a story. In this case, that matters. Mike Tyson grew up in poverty and was bullied relentlessly until one antagonist broke the neck of his pigeon and unlocked his capacity for violence. From that point, his ascent to boxing legend seemed inevitable and it is captured here thrillingly. However, the waters soon become muddier. Tyson speaks at length but isn't pressed hard enough on either the allegations of domestic abuse or the rape conviction that scarred his subsequent life – though he is described as "very truthful" by Donald Trump, which doesn't feel like the most glowing character reference.

Another collision of stories, styles and troubled female characters in the second season of this tricksy, inventive Spanish anthology drama. It's loosely set within the pristine HQ of a TV network but what unfolds involves the messy and intertwining lives of overstressed executive Raquel, hard-partying cleaner Charo, cancer patient Patricia, actor Carla and unwitting narrative subject Tina. In making its points about reality, representation and modern life, Rage tries to do a little too much. But it's never anything less than bracingly ambitious.

The Pet Cemetery Murders: A Ghost Story

It's not a Stephen King remake; this documentary series explores a real-life story that's sadder and stranger than most fiction. It centres on the 1985 disappearance and death of Dorothy Lou Thompson, the reclusive owner of a pet cemetery in Toca, Louisiana. There is a speculative supernatural element to the case: the town was named after a merciless, slave-owning judge and the land had a macabre history. However, while the uncanny is foregrounded, the story is ultimately gripping for more earthly reasons – as a tragedy with human frailty at its heart. 12 October

We begin, naturally, with a shipwreck and a parrot. Adaptations of Robert Louis Stevenson's piratical potboiler are legion and, clearly, this one won't be rewriting history. Even so, it does take a few welcome liberties with the original story: Billy Bones (Tomer Capone) is more smooth-talking hustler than salty sea dog and Hayley Atwell's fiery Bess Hawkins is now more central to the story. Then there's Long John Silver, played with simmering fury by David Oyelowo, looming over Tom Sweet's smart but naive Jim. So off the Caribbean we go, where rags or riches await.

Paul Bettany's kindly, bewildered and capably murderous AI android Vision faces a death-or-glory mission in the Marvel universe. This series builds on the cleverness of WandaVision, moving back and forth through generations of MCU villains while underpinned by the timeless narrative theme of the search for family. Vision has encountered a mysterious teenager who might be his son. But the forces against them are spectacular, including James Spader's brilliantly hammy antihero Ultron and Lisa Molinari (Lauren Morais), a street artist turned robot criminal with four extra arms. A giddy and inventive ride.

This geopolitical thriller has become increasingly soapy and far-fetched (it's almost as if the writers feel they have to outpace reality) but it's still fun as long as you're willing to suspend your disbelief. As season four begins, the ramifications of the undersea nuclear incident are playing out. The Americans are willing to allow Russia to believe that Britain was behind the removal of the bomb, but Kate (Keri Russell) fears this could set the allies against each other. She's also finding it harder to trust her husband Hal (Rufus Sewell). Is he getting too cosy with the president?

Is it time for Sylvester Stallone's exiled mobster Dwight Manfredi to go legit? In season four, Dwight is looking to diversify. But the past and the future are coming for his operation: he's facing threats from both grandstanding politicians who know his backstory and new gangsters on the block who understand the value of his empire. He's going to deal with these situations in typically explosive style. Tulsa King feels increasingly creaky and never transcends genre cliche but Stallone's hilariously one-note lunkhead charisma just about keeps it rolling.
