"Girls State"
What would American democracy look like in the hands of teenage girls? A political coming-of-age story and a stirring reimagination of what it means to govern, "Girls State" follows young female leaders — from wildly different backgrounds across Missouri — as they navigate an immersive experiment to build a government from the ground up.
"Hannah Waddingham: Home for Christmas"
Recorded live at The Coliseum in London, one of London's oldest and most beautiful theaters, the one-hour special features Emmy Award winner Hannah Waddingham ringing in the season with musical performances of beloved Christmas classics.
"Lessons in Chemistry"
Set in the early 1950s, "Lessons in Chemistry" follows Elizabeth Zott (played by Brie Larson), whose dream of being a scientist is put on hold in a patriarchal society. When Elizabeth finds herself fired from her lab, she accepts a job as a host on a TV cooking show, and sets out to teach a nation of overlooked housewives — and the men who are suddenly listening — a lot more than recipes.
"Loot"
"Loot" season two returns a year after Molly Wells (Maya Rudolph) settles her very public divorce from tech billionaire John Novak (Adam Scott), and we find her thriving in her role as the head of her philanthropic organization, the Wells Foundation. Focused mainly on her charity work, Molly has sworn off any new relationships with men and embarks on a wellness journey. Fabulously single but not particularly independent, Molly keeps her trusty assistant Nicholas (Joel Kim Booster) by her side. He diligently caters to her every whim … and occasionally feeds her a kale smoothie spiked with gin.
"The Morning Show"
"The Morning Show" explores the cutthroat world of morning news and the lives of the people who help America wake up in the morning. In season three, the future of the network is thrown into question and loyalties are pushed to the brink when a tech titan takes an interest in UBA. Unexpected alliances form, private truths are weaponized and everyone is forced to confront their core values both in and out of the newsroom.
"Palm Royale"
"Palm Royale" is a true underdog story that follows Maxine Simmons (Kristen Wiig) as she endeavors to break into Palm Beach high society. As Maxine attempts to cross that impermeable line between the haves and the have-nots, "Palm Royale" asks the same question that still baffles us today: "How much of yourself are you willing to sacrifice to get what someone else has?" Set during the powder keg year of 1969, "Palm Royale" is a testament to every outsider fighting for their chance to truly belong.
"The Reluctant Traveler With Eugene Levy"
After confronting some of his long-held fears in season one, Emmy Award winner Eugene Levy steps out of his comfort zone once again. This time, he's embarking on a must-do journey for any respectable globetrotter — a grand tour of Europe. The seven-part second season of the acclaimed country-hopping travel series follows Levy as he makes his way from the very north of the continent to the very south. Along the way, he unearths stunning hidden local gems, discovers his family tree and attempts to broaden his taste buds while experiencing the region's most unique destinations along the way. Join him as he goes on the trip of a lifetime he never knew he needed.
"Slow Horses"
This darkly funny espionage drama follows a team of British intelligence agents who serve in a dumping ground department of MI5 due to their career-ending mistakes. Led by their brilliant but irascible leader, the notorious Jackson Lamb (Academy Award winner Gary Oldman), they navigate the espionage world's smoke and mirrors to defend England from sinister forces.
"STEVE! (martin) a documentary in 2 pieces"
Steve Martin is one of the most beloved and enigmatic figures in entertainment. "STEVE! (martin) a documentary in 2 pieces" dives into his extraordinary story from two distinct points of view, with companion documentaries that feature never-before-seen footage and raw insights into Martin's personal and professional trials and triumphs. "Then" chronicles Martin's early struggles and meteoric rise to revolutionize stand-up before walking away at 35. "Now" focuses on the present day, with Martin in the golden years of his career, retracing the transformation that led to happiness in his art and personal life.
