The Crowded Room Apple TV+, from Thursday

Danny Sullivan describes his teenage self as “sad and moody” – and it’s a description that works for the show, too. Starring Tom Holland, this series – adapted from Daniel Keyes’s book The Minds of Billy Milligan – explores the feverish psyche of Sullivan, a young man arrested after a shooting in 1979 New York and attempting to explain himself to Amanda Seyfried’s interrogator Rya Goodwin. Except there’s a strong sense that nothing and no one is quite as they seem. After an explosive start, the psychological thriller unfolds patiently through flashbacks and partial recollections. It doesn’t give up secrets easily, and develops into a striking exploration of trauma.
