I love watching all the major streamers slowly delineate their brand over time with the kind of shows they greenlight. Obviously, there’s a lot of NBC comedy influence with Peacock, so you know any mockumentaries […]

“House of David” is back on Prime Video with Season 2 on Friday, March 27, and this one’s going bigger right out of the gate. After pulling in more than 40 million viewers worldwide in […]
For me, reading the “Harry Potter” series as a kid kicked off my lifelong love for books and storytelling. And when “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” came out in 2001, I was 12 — […]
I’ve watched a lot of British TV over the years, especially crime shows, bouncing between my parents’ place, where “Vera” is basically on a loop, and nights at home with my wife, where “Luther” has […]
If you just finished “Scarpetta” on Prime Video, I already know what happened. You told yourself you’d space it out… and then suddenly you were five episodes deep watching Nicole Kidman run autopsies, break down […]
Prime Video isn’t the first streamer that comes to mind when I think comedy binges, but it’s still worth checking out. You won’t find many big-name sitcoms or mockumentaries as you would on Peacock or […]
Tara and I saw “Project Hail Mary” over the weekend and man, oh man, are you in for a treat. The numbers it’s doing at the box office aren’t a fluke. Based on the book […]
Tara and I watched “Jury Duty” the week it dropped back in 2023, and just like basically everyone else on the internet, we were completely smitten. It wasn’t just hilarious, it was weirdly sweet. Watching […]
If you just signed up for Netflix and you’re trying to figure out what thriller show to start with, I’m going to save you a lot of time. Now, you’ve got a few all-time greats […]
A little while ago, I did a deep dive into the full Hulu movie library to get a sense for what’s actually there. But for better or for worse, these kinds of libraries are constantly […]
There’s a reason the “Barbershop” movies have held up for so long. They’re funny, yeah, but they’re also about community, identity, and people just hanging out and saying whatever’s on their mind. And now Prime […]
It’s been a long time coming, but one of my favorite TV characters of all time, Valerie Cherish, is officially back. The third and final season of “The Comeback” premieres Sunday, March 22 on HBO […]
Netflix puts out a ton of shows every year, and yes, some of them completely take over the conversation like “The Night Agent.” But for every one of those, there are a few really good […]
The NASCAR Cup Series rolls into one of the toughest tracks on the schedule this weekend with the Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway. The race goes down Sunday, March 22 at 3 p.m. ET on […]
Cillian Murphy is stepping back into Tommy Shelby’s boots, and somehow it feels like he never really left. Four years after the series wrapped up, Netflix is bringing the “Peaky Blinders” world back with a […]
Finding actually good TV for free usually feels a little suspicious. I find myself bracing for a clunky app, a bunch of random junk, and shows I’ve already seen or skipped. But after spending some […]
It’s hard to blame you for burning through all eight episodes of “Young Sherlock” on Prime Video. The show drops you into 1870s Oxford with a teenage Sherlock Holmes just starting to figure out who […]
There are certain actors whom I will watch in literally anything. Elisabeth Moss? I’m in. Kerry Washington? Absolutely. Kate Mara? Yes indeed. And when you throw a murder into the center of a decades-long female […]
Each night, Tara and I watch a show after dinner that I call our “after dinner show” or “afdin” for short (kidding, but I may start calling it that). The show is always dramatic, always […]
Tara and I were looking for a family-friendly show to watch with my parents as we waited for the next episode of “Rooster” on HBO Max, and ended up diving into “Love Story.” Ryan Murphy’s […]
If you recently signed up for Prime Video, either through a monthly subscription or with an Amazon Prime membership, and you’re looking for a great thriller TV show to start with, I’ve got you. Tara […]
A legendary TV campus is coming back. Netflix is heading back to Hillman College with a new “A Different World” sequel series, bringing the world of the classic sitcom into a new era. This time […]
Apple TV has built a reputation for putting out a relatively low number of really high-quality shows, but not all of them end up getting the same level of buzz as hits like “Severance” or […]
The NASCAR Cup Series wraps up its West Coast swing this weekend with the Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The race is set for Sunday, March 15 at 4 p.m. ET on FS1, […]
I’ll admit it… I slept on Tubi for way too long. When you’re already paying for a bunch of streaming services, it’s easy to assume the free ones are just a dumping ground for leftovers. […]
HBO Max is having kind of a ridiculous month right now. March is stacked with some seriously high-profile shows dropping and you’ll find many of them on this list. My wife and I have been […]
Silicon Valley has always been an interesting world to explore on TV. The money is ridiculous, the egos are even bigger, and the line between genius and total chaos is usually pretty thin. That’s exactly […]
Your favorite foul-mouthed teddy bear is back with the second season of “ted.” This was one of my favorite shows of 2024 (it dropped in January, so it seems like a really, really long time […]
For my wife and me, Peacock is the home of our dinner shows. These are the half-hour comedies we watch during dinner (duh!). They don’t require too much attention; you can usually drop in anywhere, […]
My wife and I have been on a crime-thriller kick lately, mostly fueled by the newest season of “Hijack.” Idris Elba is back as Sam Nelson, the professional negotiator who always seems to find himself […]
I don’t know about you, but Tara and I always have time for Nicole Kidman. This whole second act of her career, where she’s just quietly dominating prestige T,V has been a blast to watch. […]
If you just signed up for Hulu and you’re looking for a thriller to watch right off the bat, I’ve got an easy recommendation. Hulu actually has a pretty deep lineup of thrillers, but the […]
If you read Rufi Thorpe’s novel “Margo’s Got Money Troubles” or just saw the casting news blow up your feed, you already know this one’s gonna be big. Apple TV is turning the book into […]
If you spent the better part of the last decade glued to “The Handmaid’s Tale” like my wife and me, you probably know that, unfortunately, that world isn’t finished yet. Hulu is heading back to […]
We’re heading back to the halls of Hollywood Arts High School. Netflix is officially reviving the world of “Victorious” with a brand-new spin-off called “Hollywood Arts,” and honestly, the setup already sounds pretty fun. Daniella […]
The NASCAR Cup Series rolls into the desert this weekend for the Straight Talk Wireless 500 at Phoenix Raceway, with the race set for Sunday, March 8 at 3:30 p.m. ET on FS1. This one […]
Peacock has quietly built a pretty interesting lineup of original series over the past few years. The problem is that those shows don’t always get the same buzz as the platform’s bigger draws like reality […]
Just about everything in the television and entertainment industries has changed in the past five to 10 years. Not too long ago, the month of September was focused almost exclusively on the return of football […]
My wife and I open Peacock a lot. It’s usually the place where we find our dinner show — the half-hour comedy we watch as we eat dinner, before jumping into a darker, one hour […]
