Premieres Wednesday:
Eyes of Wakanda — Four animated episodes set in the main Marvel timeline show the Hatut Zaraze warriors traveling the globe to retrieve samples of Vibranium that are Wakanda’s rightful property. Look in the British Museum, guys, because they have all that s***! ( Disney+)
Fantasy Football Ruined Our Lives — All of his friends are suspects when the champion of an Italian fantasy football league goes missing on the eve of his wedding. Meanwhile, any travel agent could tell you he’s probably on Ibiza with sidepiece Sydney Sweeney, phoning in bets on the WNBA. (Netflix)
Katrina: Come Hell and High Water — Spike Lee executive-produces a documentary retrospective in which survivors of Hurricane Katrina describe what their lives are like 20 years later. Well, for one thing, I bet they miss the days when you could trust Kanye West’s opinion on anything. (Netflix)
Planet Single: Greek Adventure — In the fourth installment of the Polish comedy franchise, a pair of married celebrities begins to suspect that their friend’s plan to produce a reality dating show might be a shady get-rich-quick scheme. As opposed to the real thing, which is apparently considered a nonprofit philanthropic enterprise in Poland. (Netflix)
Shipwreck Hunters Australia — Season 2 finds our team of intrepid Aussies taking a deep dive into more far-flung locations in search of the treasure that’s waiting at the bottom of the ocean. But time and again, all they find is James Cameron in a submersible, shouting “I’m workin’ here!” (Disney+)
The Terminal List: Dark Wolf — Taylor Kitsch and Chris Pratt are both back for a prequel series that shows how Kitsch’s Ben Edwards transitioned from the Navy Seals to the CIA. I’m guessing they offered him a $50,000 signing bonus and any Chinese-made baseball cap on the second shelf. (Prime Video)
Premieres Thursday:
Barbie Mysteries: Beach Detectives — It’s Season 2 for the animated adventures of Malibu and Brooklyn, whose summer vacation is interrupted by a string of thefts and the gradual disappearances of their friends. Sure hope somebody took Ken’s deposition, because boy can that motherfucker hold a grudge. (Netflix)
Millionaire — Behold the thorny tale of a lucky farmer who won the Chilean lottery, only to face an uphill climb to Easy Street when he realized his ticket was marred beyond recognition. Hey, that doesn’t sound like an insurmountable problem. Mickey Rourke has been marred beyond recognition too, and he still gets work. (Netflix)
My Life With the Walter Boys — Season 2 of the YA romance presents fresh complications for the characters created by author Ali Novak in her 2014 novel — complications that have nothing to do with the plotline of Novak’s follow-up book, My Return With the Walter Boys, which takes an utterly unrelated direction. That’s great news if you like watching kids act completely unpredictable but low T means you can’t have any of your own. (Netflix)
The Thursday Murder Club — Chris Columbus directs Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Ben Kingsley and Celia Imrie in an adaptation of the 2020 best-seller about a bunch of mystery-solving pensioners. The supporting cast includes David Tennant, Jonathan Pryce and Richard E. Grant, which makes this the best assemblage of ancient Brits since Stonehenge was a putting range. (Netflix)
Premieres Friday:
Love Untangled — Unruly hair is a metaphor for romantic complications in this fanciful story of a Korean schoolgirl who embarks on a course of self-improvement to catch the eye of her crush. In this context, “fanciful” means “Might give you diabetes if you yourself aren’t a Korean schoolgirl.” (Netflix)
Two Graves — A Spanish senior citizen turns armchair sleuth when her granddaughter and a friend go missing. By my count, this is the 1,067th streaming show about vanished young women, which makes me wonder: Are there any girls left alive anywhere? (Asking for a friend.) (Netflix)
Unknown Number: The High School Catfish — A teenager and her boyfriend begin receiving abusive texts from an unknown sender, but the police investigation leads in directions none of them could have expected. Well, except the sender, of course. Him knowing that is kind of the job description. (Netflix)
Premieres Monday:
The Runarounds — North Carolina is the setting for a musical romance series in which a bunch of recent high-school graduates form a band. The show’s cast of real-life musicians have recorded a soundtrack album that’s dropping simultaneously, which means you should head right over to Spotify if you’ve ever wondered how the world would have turned out if The Archies made $5 a year. (Netflix)
