Netflix
Kaleidoscope (2023)
This ensemble-driven heist series, led by Giancarlo Esposito, follows a bunch of crooks as they plot and carry out the theft of a multibillion-dollar subterranean vault. The first seven episodes, which take place before and after the robbery, are presented in a non-linear fashion by Netflix, despite the apparent simplicity of the idea. The order in which you learn about the people and their histories creates a compelling story arc, with the theft itself acting as the show’s definitive series finale. When do you plan on seeing the first episode?
The Way of the Househusband (2021)
The second season of the hilarious anime about a former yakuza leader who wants to give up his criminal career and settle down arrives. The Way of the Househusband is based on a manga by Kousuke Oono, and it follows a former martial arts expert (known as “The Immortal Dragon”) as he learns to be a good family man by performing mundane tasks like clipping coupons, making a budget, doing laundry, and more.

The second season of the show debuted on January 4.
National Treasure: Edge of History (2022)
Lisette Olivera stars as Jess Valenzuela, an intrepid explorer whose search for lost riches worldwide also leads her to the truth about her family’s past in an original series inspired by the National Treasure film franchise.

Hulu
Letterkenny (2016)
The eleventh season of the popular Canadian comedy brings new adventures to the show’s fictional Ontario town and its colorful ensemble of people. Letterkenny, created and written mainly by series star and creator Jared Keeso, is a popular international sensation that defies categorization with its rapid-fire banter and loosely interwoven sketches, vignettes, and storylines. Letterkenny is a filthy, brilliant comedy gem that will appeal to fans of the hicks, skids, hockey players, and even those obnoxious de-gens. (Allegedly.)
Kindred (2022)
This drama series, starring Mallori Johnson (WeCrashed), follows a young author who is torn between the past and the present while working on a new novel. She is torn between the present and the 19th century as she uncovers family secrets on the plantation where her ancestors once resided.

After waking up on the operating table and escaping, he finds that he can see out of the eye that had been removed, and he then proceeds to see a series of gruesome murders. The search for his eye is simply the beginning of a much larger mystery, but he is determined to get it back.
HBO Max
Doom Patrol (2019)
The most improbable historical heroes are back for another season of outlandish exploits. Following along, you should be aware of the setup: The show centers on a motley crew of antiheroes who have developed formidable skills as a consequence of unfortunate events that have left them emotionally and physically traumatized but who would rather spend their time fighting amongst themselves than risking their lives to save the world. Trouble seems to follow them about like a bad omen, though, and it’s generally the strangest type. You may tune in for the rapid-fire F-bombs and witty banter, but you’ll stick around for the frightening “butt-monsters” and other, even crazier threats to reality.
His Dark Materials (2019)
The third and final season of HBO’s impressive adaptation of Philip Pullman’s celebrated trilogy of fantasy novels concludes the story of a young girl’s adventure through multiple worlds, some like ours and very different from each other, as she searches for her missing friend and her enigmatic father. The series, starring Logan’s Dafne Keen, is stunningly realized on screen. Keen’s character travels from one end of the world to the other, breaking down barriers and making allies out of the unlikeliest places: talking polar bears, sky-hopping nomads, and powerful wielders of the mysterious substance known as Dust.
Gossip Girl (2021)
Eight years after the events of the first season of Gossip Girl, a new group of privileged high school students in New York City finds themselves the targets of a mystery member of their social circle in this revived series. The show’s second season’s launch took place on December 1.
Peacock
