What we saw last night: 6 series that kept us awake this week

by time news

Every evening we publish our night viewing recommendation here on the “Time Out” website. We aim low: things you can watch at night without burning your brain with an overdose of stupidity – you can do that yourself – even if they are not supertemporal masterpieces. The recommendations are sometimes based on watching individual episodes that show potential, but you are definitely welcome to complain about us in the secret Facebook group “The spoiler: what are you seeing today”. In honor of the weekend and for your convenience, we are grouping all the recommendations in one place for the traditional end-of-the-weekend binge, ranked according to how much we like them.

1. Five days at Memorial

More A magnificent production of Apple TV+ Not enough people saw in real time (its broadcast ended about two weeks ago): an excellent mini-series which is actually a docu-drama about the events that took place in a hospital in New Orleans in the days after Hurricane Katrina and the heavy disaster that wreaked throughout the city. The result is an exciting and painful drama series that somehow manages to be a hospital drama, a disaster movie and an important social document at the same time. Prepare the handkerchiefs and all your emotions.

2. “Dahmer: Monster”

How do you like serial killers on Netflix? most loved And Jeffrey Dahmer is probably the biggest prize, the monster of monsters, a horror story that really happened. Netflix ups its crappy level here to 100, andThe story of the famous murderer-cannibal-psychopath Marian Murphy, who is usually known precisely for his campy and hyper-realistic style (“American Horror Story”, “Glee”) receives a realistic and shocking treatment here. Along with a cast of excellent actors there is a poisoned candy here for fans of the genre, just don’t count on a good night’s sleep after this.

3. Great country

Whine as much as you want That it’s not satirical enough or that it’s too left-wing, say whatever you said about the previous 19 seasons, the fact is that “Wonderland” is back for its 20th season and is still the most polished, most entertaining and smartest show in prime time even if it has little Very competitive. If you binge on the previous season before starting the current one you will find that you have no idea what half the sketches are laughing about and that you suffer, like the entire country, from an acute case of amnesia. No matter how we found out.

4. Jump to yesterday

Here is a new series that is both a sequel and a reboot of The nineties cult hit “Leap to Yesterday”, one of the favorite series in Israel in that decade thanks to countless rebroadcasts on cable. The series takes place 30 years after the disappearance of Dr. Sam Beckett in the folds of time, and at least according to the first and second episodes it succeeds quite well in developing the idea behind the original series. A great masterpiece probably won’t be here, but an effective MDB fan with a historical twist is sometimes everything that your popcorn needs.

5. Rebot

The creator of Modern Family is back, and with it a really spectacular comic cast (Judy Greer! Keegan-Michael Key! Paul Reiser!), to unfold the story of a sitcom from the nineties that tries to come together with all the accompanying stupidity. The series gently slaughters the American television industry sick of sequels and remakes, while at the same time showing compassion for the victims of the system (lost actors, desperate actresses, unhappy creators, clueless managers). It’s not very innovative or sophisticated as one might expect from the idea, but it’s funny and pleasant and you can settle for it.

6. Destiny: The WinX Saga

GodThe successful British-Italian series It’s back for a second season on Netflix, and it’s more fairy-like than ever. “Fate: WinX Saga” is actually a live-action version of the successful cartoon series “WinX Club”, a distinct animation for children. The dramatic change definitely added some slightly more mature elements to the lives of the fairies – and also literally clipped their wings – to suit the audience of children who grew up on the WinX Club and are now teenagers and older. The second season, which premiered last weekend, should only exaggerate these dark elements, but also bring back an essential feature from the original series – the colorful clothing. Well, don’t say that you don’t want to turn off your mind a little in front of such a series.
