Bad Monkey – Apple TV
Vince Vaughn is a police officer recently demoted to health inspector in the Florida Keys. This series shows him getting more and more involved in how an arm ended up on someone’s fishing line. The season isn’t over yet, but even if you don’t like police shows, you will be entertained by Vaughn as the guy that does everything wrong.
Twisters | This is not quite a remake, featuring Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones as tornado chasers. Powell’s character does it for fun and showmanship. Edgar-Jones does it for science, after losing two of her friends to a fierce tornado. Both actors are fun to watch, and it has the perfect balance of seriousness and fun.
Lucid – Netflix
Matt Rife is not your typical comedian. His stand-up routine is based completely on feedback from his audience. He sits on a stool and asks questions. The next thing you know, he has you laughing at the absurdity of life. Being in his audience would be amazing—unless he asked you a question and then spent 10 minutes riffing on your two-word answer.
The Closer – Peacock
Why am I telling you to watch a series from 20 years ago? Because there is nothing like Kyra Sedgwick as Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson. She joins an unhappy group of Los Angeles police officers who can’t imagine what little old Brenda from Atlanta can teach them about solving the unsolvable.
Find Me Falling – Netflix
A perfect rom-com where you see the ending within the first 10 minutes, but it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t give it another hour or so to put all the pieces together. Harry Connick Jr. and Agni Scott work a little magic with this predictable but enjoyable movie.
