Today's top TV and streaming picks: American Fiction, Havoc and Louis Theroux

Rugbaí Beo TG4, 1.10pm & 3.40pm Get set for the biggest day in the domestic club rugby season, as the All-Ireland League women's final takes place, followed by its male counterpart. Kerry: Tides of Time RTÉ One, 6.30pm Two-part documentary focusing on the Co Kerry landscape, from its earliest origins to the present day. Biologists, historians, ecologists and archaeologists are on hand to breathe life into the subject, and they begin on an isolated stretch of rocky shoreline, where the region's history and geology are explored. Louis Theroux: The Settlers BBC Two, 9pm The documentary-maker heads to the West Bank, embedding himself with ultra-nationalist Israeli settlers who are not afraid to use violence and intimidation to extend their territory. Music Network ar an mBóthar TG4, 9.30pm A chance to hear from some of the most recent winners of TG4 Gradam Ceoil, all in action at Cork's Triskel Arts Centre — Derek Hickey, the Kane Sisters and Macdara Ó Faoláin are the performers. Diamonds Are Forever RTÉ2, 6.20pm After taking a break, Sean Connery was lured back by a whopping pay packet to play James Bond again. This time he's investigating a diamond-smuggling operation. Jill St John co-stars, while Shirley Bassey sings the memorable theme song. American Fiction RTÉ One, 9.30pm Oscar-winning comedy-drama starring Jeffrey Rush as an African-American professor who writes a satire poking fun at stereotypical 'Black' books, only for it to be taken seriously by critics, whose reviews help it become a bestseller. Tracee Ellis Ross co-stars. ADVERTISEMENT You Netflix, streaming now I won't lie, I haven't viewed even a single episode of this on account of the hammy narration provided by Penn Badgley's psychotic Joe (watching through Gogglebox was more than enough) and the parade of gormless sorts he's managed to slay on both sides of the Atlantic. Now, for season 5 (yes, five seasons) and 'the killer finale', he's back in New York to address yet more skeletons in his closet. Wear Whatever The F You Want Prime Video, streaming now Also returning to New York for another season, we have Clinton Kelly and Stacy London inspiring those in a fashion funk to express their unique style, even if it breaks all the style rules. Havoc Netflix, streaming now To save a politician's estranged son after a failed drug deal, a perpetually dishevelled detective (Tom Hardy) rampages through the criminal underworld, revealing layers of corruption permeating East LA. This is quite the filming feat, given it was partially shot in the mean streets of Barry Island Pleasure Park, Wales. Flintoff Disney+, streaming now Chronicling Freddie Flintoff's remarkable cricket career, multitude of presenting gigs (A League of Their Own, Living With Bulimia, Australian Ninja Warrior), two Ashes wins with England, his status as a national sporting icon, and his return to cricket after a life-altering Top Gear car crash in 2022. If you only visit Disney+ to watch Star Wars-related fodder, there are new episodes of Andor: A Star Wars Story.
