Premieres Wednesday:
Criminal Code — Season 2 finds our cast of Brazilian federal policemen facing a stepped-up challenge from the criminal collective known as the Phantom Gang. Expect lots of Scooby-Doo chase sequences, and maybe even a cameo by Ghost. As if there’s a difference, right, fellow fans? (Netflix)
Eva Lasting — Time marches on for Colombian high schooler Eva in Season 3, but even more so for her friends Louisa and Camilo, who are now raising a baby together. Which, as we all know, is just a warm-up to the truly hard part: selling it. (Netflix)
Power Moves With Shaquille O’Neal — Taking a break from his main gig of being pleasantly semi-decipherable at celebrity roasts, Shaq conscripts a film crew to document his stewardship of the rebounding Reebok empire. Threatening his success story is unexpected competition from L.A. Gear, whose products don’t face tariff pressures because they’re made by elves in a hollow tree. (Netflix)
Stick — Owen Wilson plays a has-been golf pro who tries to find redemption by coaching a teenage prodigy to victory. Which seems to be a more sensible way to get back on the tour than dating Donald Trump Jr.’s ex-wife, but I honestly don’t understand golf unless there’s a windmill or giant pirate head involved. (Apple TV+)
Premieres Thursday:
Barracuda Queens — Our gang of teenage thieves raise their ambitions in Season 2 by planning to loot the inventory of Stockholm’s finest art galleries. If they did that here, they could walk away with enough FedEx boxes to last them the rest of their lives. (Netflix)
Chespirito: Not Really On Purpose — An eight-episode bioseries dramatizes the life and work of Roberto Gómez Bolaños, iconic creator of beloved Latin American TV characters like El Chavo del 8 and El Chapulín Colorado. If you thought the Bumblebee Man was entirely a creature of the Simpsons writing room, get ready for your sabado to get significantly gigante-er. (Max)
Ginny & Georgia Season 3 — Two and a half years on from the climax of Season 2, we’ll finally find out what happened after Georgia (Brianne Howey) was arrested on the day of her own wedding and charged with murder. So funny to see the bride being suspected of homicide for once, when it’s usually the caterer. (Netflix)
Tires — Season 2 adds Thomas Haden Church as Shane’s dad, whose arrival just might save his son’s auto repair business and cure his erectile dysfunction. I tried to word that three different ways, and believe it or not, this is the one that sounded the least suspect. (Netflix)
Premieres Friday:
Esports World Cup: Level Up — Take a look back to the Summer 2024 event that taught everybody to think of Saudi Arabia as ground zero for competitive video gaming. But really, nothing could be more natural. Those guys do finishing moves from Mortal Kombat as their Pilates warm-up. (Prime Video)
KO — It’s parenthood by proxy as a French MMA fighter goes searching for the son of a man he killed in the ring. (No, Ivan Drago, not to give him a wedgie.) (Netflix)
Mercy for None — His brother’s death is the impetus for a Korean gangster to — wait for it — come out of retirement just long enough to (you guessed it) exact revenge. Seriously, if they’re going to keep using ChatGPT to write this stuff, the least they could do is add a function where Player 456 helps you with your homework. (Netflix)
Tyler Perry’s Straw — Taraji P. Henson is a struggling single mom with a sick kid; Sherri Shepherd is the bank teller who happens to cross her path at her lowest and most desperate moment. Expect a Golden Globe nom for Henson, thanks to her dramatic reading of the line “Apt naturally, motherfucker. I have a gub.” (Netflix)
The Survivors — An Australian who lost three loved ones in a terrible storm returns home 15 years later, only to find the community reeling from the murder of a young woman. No wonder they’re upset: The Tasman Sea is all that’s separating them from being in a remake of The Lovely Bones. (Netflix)
Premieres Monday:
The Creature Cases — The new missions our animal detectives undertake in Chapter 5 include helping a bird colony locate a missing egg. If they can find 12, they could be on their way to putting Aldi out of business. (Netflix)
Premieres Tuesday:
Families Like Ours — When climate change forces the evacuation of Denmark, a teenager has to decide if she’s going to flee with her parents or her boyfriend. Listen, either one beats Option C: Lars von Trier. (Netflix)
Trainwreck: The AstroWorld Tragedy — A weekly docuseries exploring major public meltdowns begins with a trip back to the 2021 AstroWorld hip-hop festival, in which 10 people were killed and more than 300 injured while they were rushing to get closer to headliner Travis Scott. But that’s nothing compared to how many people are willing to risk life and limb running away from Diddy. (Netflix)
