Premieres Wednesday:
My Family — A terminally ill Italian bequeaths the responsibility for raising his son to the surviving members of his family, although their epic dysfunction is enough to make anyone wish for a better option. Well, the Italian fascists seem to be having something of a renaissance. Maybe they have a daycare. (Netflix)
Win or Lose — The dismay was loud and widespread when Disney announced it was re-editing this Pixar series about a middle-school softball team to make a transgender character cis. The studio said it had decided there are some things parents would prefer to discuss with their children in private. But will there even be time to talk about gender identities now that you have to explain what “middle school” was? (Disney+)
Premieres Thursday:
Bea’s Block — Bea and her friends round out Season 1 by once again demonstrating that nothing opens doors like a little kindness. In Season 2, we’ll learn that it still helps to have a warrant. (Max)
Reacher — Jack has to rescue a DEA snitch whose time is running out in Season 3. Meanwhile, Anthony Michael Hall joins the cast as an importer of Oriental rugs. Well, don’t that beat all. (Prime Video)
Zero Day — Robert De Niro plays a former U.S. president who’s conscripted to solve a cyberattack that claimed the lives of thousands of Americans. I don’t want to tell you how to do your job, Bob, but maybe you should start by interviewing the current U.S. president. (Netflix)
Premieres Friday:
Chris Distefano: It’s Just Unfortunate — The New York comic favors us with an hour-long admission of the many ways in which he’s fallen short as a father. Don’t you love it when a humble comedy special can do double duty as Exhibit A in an emancipation petition? (Hulu)
Surface — Season 2 follows Sophie to her hometown of London, where she hopes to find clues to the enigma that is her past. If she starts wearing baggy trousers and feeling drawn to a certain house in the middle of the street, it means she used to be in Madness. (Apple TV+)
Premieres Sunday:
1923 — The arrival of a harsh winter threatens the survival of the Dutton ranch in Season 2. Star Harrison Ford says it was easy to simulate the suffering of 102 years ago, because all he had to do was access his personal memories of the Great Blizzard of 1888. (Paramount+)
The 31st Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards — Kristen Bell hosts a livestream of this year’s event, which includes the presentation of a Life Achievement Award to Jane Fonda. But the real action will be watching to see if Karla Sofía Gascón gets bounced faster than Ye from a seder. (Netflix)
Premieres Tuesday:
Full Swing — Season 3 adds the President’s Cup to the list of PGA Tour events the series covers in documenting the on- and off-the-green doings of today’s top golfers. There’s also a preview of the upcoming Happy Gilmore 2, because crass cross-promotion is practically an Olympic qualifier at this point. (Netflix)
Matthew Perry: A Hollywood Tragedy — Peacock is being pretty tight-lipped about what’s in this documentary retrospective of the life and shocking passing of the onetime Chandler Bing. Maybe they’ve uncovered some sort of vast conspiracy. Or not. Could I BE more unhelpful? (Peacock)
