Streaming Wednesday, Nov. 11:

Alicia’s Law — This Mexican remake of The Good Wife could really open doors for star Fernanda Castillo: If it’s as big of a hit, she too could end up with a mantel full of awards and an adoring public that can’t stop asking, “Do you really know Noah Wyle?” (Netflix)

Avedon — Ron Howard is behind the lens for a documentary tribute to the late photographer Richard Avedon. The Hollywood Reporter calls it “a celebration of a complicated man.” Meanwhile, Amateur Photographer is disappointed there wasn’t more about shutter speeds. (Netflix)

ChiaroScuro — An Italian police inspector teams up with an art expert to solve a series of killings that were apparently modeled on famous paintings. Reminds me of that time the OPD had to crack a murder spree based on the collections at the Orlando Museum of Art. But not everybody remembers the FedEx Killer. (Netflix)

The Gospel of Christmas — The ubiquitous Tyler Perry introduces us to an embattled pastor and his wife whose New York church faces a host of existential threats as the holiday approaches. I’m sorry, I mean the holidayS, plural. Now how about you take the padlock off the door, Mamdani? (Netflix)

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 3 — We’re several years past the events of Season 2, and Sauron is finally preparing to forge the fabled One Ring on which the entire Tolkien canon rests. Yeah, we know you can’t just walk into Mordor, but what happens when the fandom finds out he merely went to Jared? (Prime Video)

Rivals — The final six episodes of Season 2 find our cast of competing broadcasters still jockeying for position in the TV landscape of the ’80s, but this time with the added complication of watching their personal lives “spiral into chaos.” Listen, if you were alive in the ’80s, spiraling into chaos WAS your personal life. (Hulu)

Streaming Thursday, Nov. 12:

Allen — An Australian whose childhood friend was an alien is reunited with his long-lost pal in a comedy/drama from the Aussies who brought us Bluey. Great, now we’re going to be seeing Crocodile EeTee on sippy cups for the rest of our natural life. (Netflix)

The Christmas Switch — Real-life sisters Felice and Happy Jankell play Swedish sibs — one a humble country girl, the other a vivacious city dweller — who are forced to trade lives at the holidays. Based on the audiobook Jul i Sankt Anna, which translates roughly as “We don’t have mice here, right?” (Netflix)

The Empress — Emperor Franz (Philip Froissant) is back from war and haunted by trauma as the third and final season begins, but his decision to seek solace in an extramarital affair sends wife Elisabeth (Devrim Lingnau Islamoğlu) into the orbit of an alluring revolutionary. “Yeah, let me know how that works out,” snorts the ghost of Dolores Huerta. (Netflix)

The Good Daughter — Author Karin Slaughter adapts her 2017 novel into a six-episode limited series, with Rose Byrne and Meghann Fahy as estranged sisters forced into a final reckoning with the traumatic home invasion they experienced 20 years earlier. All due sympathies I’m sure, but that seems like a long time to get over your first look at a plumber’s crack. (Peacock)

The Jigsaw Puzzle Murder — A U.K. true-crime documentary examines the 2024 case of murder victim Stuart Everett, whose various body parts were found wrapped in cellophane and strewn throughout greater Manchester. The coroner’s verdict: blunt force trauma and dismemberment, but also a pretty fun scavenger hunt for three or more players. (Paramount+)

Miracles of the ER — Taiwan gets its very first hospital drama set in an emergency room. In the role of the wise attending physician is Wallace Huo, who should probably get used to fielding the question “Do you really know the Facts of Life girls?” (Netflix)

Never Surrender — Central Java is the setting of an action thriller revolving around a retired special-ops soldier who calls upon his dormant training to protect his estranged grandchildren. Jesus, is anybody on streaming actually cool with their family? You’d think they would have figured out by now that going no-contact is like the fast track to a kidnapping. (Netflix)

Streaming Friday, Nov. 13:

12 12 12 — Master thief Jamie Dornan and ex-FBI man Anthony Mackie find their fates intertwined over a bank job that takes 12 months to plan, 12 hours to pull off and 12 days to fully recover from. The internet peanut gallery is already carping that Apple TV missed a surefire promotional opportunity by dropping this show on 11/13 instead of 12/12. I can’t help noticing those marketing geniuses aren’t accounting for the third 12, but maybe John Connor can handle it when he goes back in time 14 years to prevent Claude from becoming self-aware. (Apple TV)

Heartland — Suspense speaks with a country twang as a former Nashville hitmaker Jessica Chastain returns to Music City to track down her missing niece, who also happens to be a latter-day chart star. You know things have gotten bad when the entertainment industry is living by the credo “Here today, gone also today.” (Netflix)

Murder in Galicia — Last week’s documentary Unprotected: Murder in Galicia gets its inevitable dramatized counterpart, which centers on a heroic sergeant in the Spanish Civil Guard who fights to prove that a husband engineered the supposed home invasion that put his own wife in the hospital. God bless men, right? Without them, men could get away with just about anything. (Netflix)

Snoopy Presents: 12 Days of Snoopy — Less than two weeks before Christmas Day, America’s favorite beagle has some heavy lifting to do if he wants to get off Santa’s naughty list in time to have a happy holiday. OK, this is the one y’all should be campaigning to have moved to Dec. 12, but I guess it’s more fun riding Anthony Mackie’s ass than going after some damn dog. (Apple TV)

Stars and Vows: Anele and Buzza — Four documentary episodes follow South African TV personality Anele Mdoda and her fiancé, lawyer and Xhosa prince Bonelela “Buzza James” Mgudlwa, as they prepare to host the celebrity wedding of the year. Word has it the locals are still pissed about them shutting down the entire area around Johannesburg Square Garden. (Netflix)

Streaming Sunday, Nov. 15:

Cunk on Cinema — Philomena Cunk takes her David-Attenborough-with-microcephaly act to the multiplex, tracing the history of film as a medium in six fumblingly probing episodes. I just want to see her sit Nathan Fielder down and make him explain what the hell he thought he was doing with Digger. (Netflix)

Streaming Tuesday, Nov. 17:

He Said, She Said: ’Til Death Do Us Part — Beginning in 2019, New York power couple Allan and Catherine Kassenoff waged a nasty divorce and custody battle that eventually spilled out onto social media for the whole world to witness, with drastic consequences for themselves and their children. So if you’re reading this, honey, just remember I could end you in front of my 95 followers if my Hot Pocket is cold again. (Paramount+)
