Robbie (Tom Pelphrey) is a binman by day, coping with the death of his brother while looking after his kids and niece, and maybe even looking for love. By night, though, he and his mate Cliff (Ra\u00fal Castillo) dress in Halloween costumes and burgle members of a drug-dealing biker gang. Enter Mark Ruffalo\u2019s Tom, an FBI agent dealing with his own family bereavement, and put on the case with an inexperienced taskforce before a turf war escalates. It\u2019s deeply layered, fantastically written and proof that the autumn nights are here.

Erika Alexander and Derek Luke play a couple whose mistimed relocation to the sticks mean that they\u2019re forced to share a bunker with an oddball survivalist. Things progress in almost all the ways you\u2019d expect them to, but the tension remains palpably high throughout and there\u2019s an awful lot of fun to be had watching everything go to hell.
