The greatest thing about the BBC is that when you miss a brilliant film that shows on TV, you'll always be able to catch it for a little while on BBC iPlayer.
So, if you were like me, and didn't catch Jordan Peele's brilliant psychological horror on BBC One the other day, fret not, as you've now got the chance to catch it on the streamer.

What is Us about?
The film is a psychological horror and thriller that revolves around a family whose holiday is interrupted when their beachfront house is broken into by a series of doppelgängers.
A synopsis on Rotten Tomatoes reads: "Accompanied by her husband, son and daughter, Adelaide Wilson (Nyong'o) returns to the beachfront home where she grew up as a child. Haunted by a traumatic experience from the past, Adelaide grows increasingly concerned that something bad is going to happen.
"Her worst fears soon become a reality when four masked strangers descend upon the house, forcing the Wilsons into a fight for survival. When the masks come off, the family is horrified to learn that each attacker takes the appearance of one of them."
What have viewers said about Us?
If the overwhelmingly positive critical reception isn't enough to convince you to give Us a watch, you only need to listen to the viewers who've shared their opinions online.

Another, just before the film returned to streamers, added: "I forgot how good of a movie Us is. Jordan Peele did his thing for sure."
A third expressed surprise at the film's hyper-intense climactic final act, writing: "I just watched the movie Us by Jordan Peele. That ending crazy af."
If you're a fan of the director's Oscar-winning thriller Get Out, or his sci-fi blockbuster Nope, then you're sure to be a fan of his mind-bending second feature.
