Premieres Wednesday, Feb. 18:

56 Days — Catherine Ryan Howard’s best-selling novel yields an eight-episode thriller series in which an Irish couple’s COVID-era whirlwind romance leads to murder in under two months. Man, that’s less time than it takes Scott Peterson to regift a salad shooter. (Prime Video)

Being Gordon Ramsay — The celebrity chef applies his Zen-like calm to the task of opening five new restaurants, all of them headquartered in London’s second-tallest building. Split the difference? Three new restaurants in London’s tallest building? If you ask John Cleese, the Islamic State is more than willing to oblige! (Netflix)

Wild Boys: Strangers in Town — Back in 2003, a British Columbian woman took in two boys who claimed to have been raised in the wild, far from any civilizing influence. But were they just pulling her leg? Find out in this true-crime documentary, which explores the tricky shadow realm between genuine ferality and a simple lack of Xbox etiquette. (Paramount+)

Premieres Thursday, Feb. 19:

Girl on the Run: The Hunt for America’s Most Wanted Woman — Follow the desperate flight from justice of escaped killer Sarah Pender, who in 2008 led the authorities on a cross-country chase after escaping from prison with the help of a prison guard she had been having sex with. Which must have been devastating news to her previous boyfriend, who was still doing time for having helped her commit the murders that got her locked up in the first place. But to quote one of my former therapists, that’s just the way some women move on. (Hulu)

The Night Agent — Season 3 puts FBI man Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso) on the trail of a former U.S. Treasury agent who’s accused of murder and the stealing of state secrets. Seriously, why waste time on such small potatoes when there are still guys flying Pride flags over at the Federal Reserve? (Netflix)

The Swedish Connection — Sweden gets its own Schindler’s List in the story of a minor bureaucrat who saved thousands of Jews from the Holocaust. As an apology for the oversight, Steven Spielberg has announced his next project will be a comprehensive history of Stockholm death metal. (Netflix)

Premieres Friday, Feb. 20:

Banksters — The latest European heist series has the audience biting its nails, wondering if a Berlin bank trainee will snitch on his accomplices in a series of inside jobs. Or will he have the stones to pin it all on the notorious German crime lord, Adolf Söze? (HBO Max)

Firebreak — Blood is thicker than fire to a family of Spaniards who refuse to leave the scene of a raging blaze without their daughter. Worse yet, the forest ranger is a prime suspect. Sounds like we have a clear favorite in the ongoing “Yogi vs. Smokey” debate. (Netflix)

The Last Thing He Told Me — Rita Wilson and Judy Greer join the cast for Season 2, which reunites fugitive Owen Michaels (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) with his wife, Hannah Hall (Jennifer Garner), and stepdaughter, Bailey (Angourie Rice), after half a decade’s absence. In related news, Kid Rock has promised to stop being such a dick if his dad finally comes back from his trip to get smokes. (Apple TV)

Pavane — A trio of South Korean sad sacks who have withdrawn from the world form a close emotional bond that’s independent from society’s standards of desirability. Learn more about this curious lifestyle in the spring’s upcoming crossover hit, K-pop Throuple Hunters. (Netflix)

Portobello — Fabrizio Gifuni plays Italian TV presenter Enzo Tortora, who was imprisoned over totally false claims that he was involved in organized crime. It’s kind of amazing a jury would fall for that, since everybody knows the surest path to success in entertainment is doing charity work with the blind. (HBO Max)

Strip Law — Adam Scott and Janelle James headline the voice cast of an adult animated series set in the office of a law firm that handles the wackiest cases in Vegas. They’re sure going to be busy, now that the mob has started whacking guys by hitting them over the head with enormous novelty sausages. (Netflix)

Premieres Monday, Feb. 23:

The CEO Club — Serena Williams is one of a septet of female business owners who are opening up their lives to reality cameras for an incisive eight-part profile. Listen, it beats opening up their books to the IRS. (Prime Video)

Paradise — Season 2 finds Sterling K. Brown’s Xavier Collins exploring the world outside the underground bunker that until recently was the only world he knew. In related news, some of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City will be sending their kids to college this year. (Hulu)

Premieres Tuesday, Feb. 24:

Taylor Tomlinson: Prodigal Daughter — Instead of rescheduling the December Dr. Phillips show she canceled without a how-do-you-do, the mercurial stand-up phenomenon asks us to make do with a concert film shot in Grand Rapids. Topics include her religious upbringing, her sexual awakening, and why you should never buy tickets to one of the last shows on anybody’s tour. (Netflix)
