New Movie Available now A wannabe investigative journalist (iZombie’s Rose McIver) thinks she’s getting her big break in this romantic comedy when she’s sent abroad to write an exposé on a soon-to-be European king. But from the look of those stairs, she’s more likely to break her neck.
Frontier
Season Premiere Season 2, Available now, Netflix Current Aquaman Jason Momoa drinks more ale, kills more beasts and gets more blood on his face in Season 2 of the drama, about the early fur trade in North America. In the process, he also proves that anything is better when Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy do it.
Mudbound
New Movie Available now What, Emmys aren’t enough for them anymore? Netflix seems to be announcing that it really, really wants an Oscar—and probably deserves one—with this epic drama, which received a standing O at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year.

El Camino Christmas

HULU
Chance

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
Series Premiere Wednesday, Nov. 29 Only the hardest of hearts won’t fall for 1950s housewife Miriam “Midge” Maisel (Rachel Brosnahan, above) in this comedy from Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino. Make that “former housewife”: After her plagiarizing husband, a wannabe stand-up comic, leaves her for another woman, Midge gets drunk and ends up taking the stage herself—with much better results. Like, she-could-make-a-career-out-of-this results. You know the old expression, “When one door closes…break through the glass ceiling.”
The Grand Tour
Season Premiere Season 2, Friday, Dec. 8 Former Top Gear presenters Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond drive more sweet cars through semi-far-off lands (Mozambique, Switzerland, Britain and more). Will this season also feature the fiery car crash in the Swiss mountains that nearly took Hammond’s life in June? That would be like an action movie, but really freaking scary.
Back

Basically stealing his whole life.
