We may be deep into October, but it’s still summer in the world of TV and film, where the heat and humidity in Bachelor in Paradise continue to dominate ABC’s lineup on Monday and Tuesday this week. Then there’s George Clooney and Julia Roberts’s rom-com Ticket to Paradise, which is so visually stunning it will make you want to book a ticket to a far-away island.

The star power also continues this week with Harry Styles and Emma Corrin in My Policeman, which hits theaters on Friday before landing on Prime Video in early November.
