Fall 2024-Summer 2025 New/Returning/Streaming/TV Shows

I’ve been a fan of Luke Kirby since “Slings & Arrows” which is a similar concept to “L’Etoile” but based on a Theatre company in Canada.

It’s very funny. IIRC, Luke plays a Hollywood actor who comes to do a role in the theatre to boost sales.

The movie “Take This Waltz” is when I really fell in love with him (romantic comedy with Michelle Williams) and I was a total goner with his scenes with Midge.

I’ll have to find that movie!

“Slings & Arrows” is a mini-series that Luke has a smaller role in.
It’s an ensemble cast and he’s not one of the leads but has many scenes with Rachel McAdams.

He has a lead role in “Take This Waltz.”

They are both Canadian productions.

The movie is on MAX! I might have to watch that tonight instead of Etoile ?

One benefit of having to buy a new iPhone is the included 3-month subscription to Apple TV+. I'm catching the 2nd season of Shrinking (love it) and laughing through The Studio (so well written!) and have Severance to check out next.

After episode 4 of “L’Etoile” it feels like this show doesn’t quite know what it wants to be.

Lots of ballet in this one though as both NY and Paris kick-off their seasons if viewers want to see that.

In order or ranking from best to least so far, I’d say the episodes are:

3,2,4,1

I watched one episode of Severance and stopped. I have a couple of movies I want to watch, and I'll continue slowly re-watching Ted Lasso.

Yay - another fan of 'Slings and Arrows'. It's a great show. I loaned S1 to a friend who works for a theatre company and they immediately went out and bought the full set and loved it all, so I gather it's also quite true to life despite being ostensibly a comedy.

The racing docos just keep coming for Netflix.

The Seat is dropping May 5 and follows the decision of Mercedes to put teenage hotshot Kimi Antonelli in the seat vacated by Lewis Hamilton when he left for Ferrari.

I have deeply mixed feelings about this one. I like Kimi, and it is evident he is worthy of at least some of the hype that has surrounded his arrival in F1. But at the same time, this is a lot of hype and pressure on an eighteen year old, and bringing out a documentary before he's even completed half a season in F1 - we're just five races in - is a fine way to start seeing people turn on him.

Toto Wolff has been searching for his supertalent since he lost out on Max Verstappen. He seems to think he's found it in Kimi but I would hate to see this fine young man crushed before his career ever really got going.

I watched Take This Waltz last night, and while Luke Kirby was delicious, Michelle Williams irked me to no end lol. I watched the movie Babygirl over the weekend, and this felt like a tamer version until the last twenty minutes.

Crazy Rich Asisns is featuring in a new TV series, based on Henry Golding who alsoo has about 5 near films coming out. Max is the network.

Yep. That movie is 100% Luke Kirby.

I wanted to slap Seth Rogan and Michelle Williams.

But I figure if a movie can bring out emotions like that it must be well written/acted or something. Lol

Episode 5 of L’Etoile has Luke Kirby eye candy. Yum

Super annoyed that this week’s episode of NCIS was a cliffhanger…. I think next week is the season finale but I’m afraid to look too much into that because I don’t want to be spoiled…

Grosse Pointe Garden Society and we finally see what happened to poor Quiche! and . Didn't see that one coming at all!

Wow what a terrible season finale for NCIS. I saw the ending coming about 30 minutes in and kept hoping I was wrong because it was stupid.

I watched all seasons of White Lotus, I thought the first 2 seasons were really fabulous, the 3rd season is a bit weaker (even though Patrick Schwarzenegger does a fantastic job). I tend to think cause they keep making each season a bit longer (and Jennifer Coolidge is missing), why do this when the first season was perfect in length?

Now I’m rewatching all of Stranger Things to prepare for the final season!

And I’ll try „Euphoria“ next.

I’m really excited about the new season of „Poker Face“, but I think it will take a while longer till it gets to Germany

The Morning Show was a terrific show with a stacked cast.

North of North is absolutely adorable.

 

[misskarne]

I watched The Seat. It wasn't bad. Actually had more of an insight into Kimi himself than I was expecting. There was some product placement for Whatsapp that was a bit jarring, but it was mostly done after the first 10min or so. There were definitely a couple of moments when you were forcibly reminded that Kimi is little more than a child.

I wasn't expecting to get real Jos Verstappen vibes from Marco Antonelli (Kimi's father). There was a car conversation which was deeply uncomfortable where Marco talks about how harsh he was on Kimi and he seemed to be justifying it by explaining it was all to make Kimi better. It does seem he has softened over time, but still.

ETA: the real irony is that they self-limited their story by filming the documentary so early...Kimi's sprint pole in Miami, the youngest polesitter ever in F1 history, would have been the perfect ending to the documentary.

Is that the right name, North of North? On AppleTV+?

 

[manhn]

North of North is a Canadian show that I get on CBC Gem. But I also think it's on Netflix (but I don't currently have Netflix)?

It’s on Netflix. I watched the first episode and didn’t love it but I’m going to give it another shot now that I finished The Four Seasons.

 

[manhn]

The first episode was the weakest one, IMO. The acting gets better, the large cast gets more developed, and the writing improves.

Oh! You mentioned it along with The Morning Show, which is on Apple TV+, so I thought this one was, too.

Did you like any other Apple TV+ shows? Besides the ones I suggested to you, I mean.

The Apple Shows I have enjoyed are Shrinking, The Morning Show, Severance, Little America, Pachinko, Ted Lasso and Presumed Innocent. I think their shows are significantly better than their movies.

I watched an episode of Little America last night and it was great. About the girl who became a squash player. I played squash for awhile and was decent at it so I really enjoyed watching her learn.

Not quite sure where to put this but it is related to a broadcast so…
