Joel Edgerton leads a freaky, scary existential thriller about an abduction, and a wild new tale from the makers of Fyre and Tiger King

We meet physicist Jason Dessen (Joel Edgerton) teaching students the theory of Schrödinger’s Cat: can two states of existence run concurrently? If so, can either of them be said to be “real”? In this moody adaptation of Blake Crouch’s sci-fi novel (by the author himself), Dessen is about to experience a brush with quantum mechanics. He visits a bar to celebrate a friend winning a prestigious science award. On his way home, he is abducted. He loses his phone, his wedding ring, even his clothes. What unfolds is a freaky, scary journey through multiple versions of himself as Dessen tries to find his way back to a reality he recognises. Labyrinthine but gripping. Apple TV+, from Wednesday 8 May

Fyre and Tiger King director Chris Smith has a good handle on the outlandish stories thrown up by modern life. This tale of a worldwide scam perpetrated on usually low-ranking figures in the film industry is another weird and wild affair. By impersonating some of Hollywood’s most powerful women, Hargobind Tahilramani lured hundreds of victims to Indonesia on the promise of life-changing film work. The scam seems oddly unwieldy in financial terms but this simply adds to the enigma. What actually motivated the person behind it? Apple TV+, from Wednesday 8 May

An intriguing and dryly amusing comedy-drama in which permanently grumpy Dublin investigative journalist Dove (Siobhán Cullen) is reluctantly sent to the small Irish town of the title to assist a couple of podcasters who are making a series about a historical murder case. The hapless pair are initially typically gormless tourists (“Oh my God. A nun, in a pub! I love this country!”) but it soon becomes apparent that the locals are deliberately leaning into the Irish cliches as a defence mechanism. Something fishy is actually going on in Bodkin, and the story may be more alive than it seems. Netflix, from Thursday 9 May
