What Is It? It’s a mockumentary for our failing legacy media times.

Plus it stars White Lotus season 2 breakout Sabrina Impacciatore, who played the horny, crotchety resort manager finally giving in to her lesbian desires. Her co-star is Irish actor Domhnall Gleeson, a nepo baby so talented and down to earth that he doesn’t deserve the title.

What Is It? A behind-the-scenes drama about morning show host anchors, it’s a soapier version of Aaron Sorkin’s The Newsroom centering on clashing news anchors played by Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston. The first season examined #MeToo, while season four focuses on the aftermath of a merger between two networks and its effects on journalistic truth-telling in a conspiracy-theory loving world.

Why You Should Binge This? It’s the quintessential Apple TV+ show: big budget, but not too prestige-y that you have to stop folding laundry to pay attention.

The Golden Bachelor (Season 2)
Premiere Date: September 24, 2025
Where Can I Find It? Hulu, ABC
What Is It? It’s the perfect show for our gerontocracy era: The Bachelor starring senior citizens. The first season’s Golden Bachelor starred 72-year-old widow Gerry Turner whose claims to have been celibate since his wife’s death were debunked as the series was airing. Nonetheless, Turner came across as a sympathetic and sexy grandpa whom dozens of 60-plus women were fawning over. The show had everything from erotic poetry readings to pickle ball fights. This year’s Golden Bachelor is hunky 66-year-old former NFL player Mel Owens, who is already causing drama by asserting that he only wanted his prospective female suitors on the show to be ages 45-60. Yes, Owens said on a podcast he was unwilling to date women his own age. But don’t let that stop you from watching. An ageist 66-year-old man on a dating show about senior citizens is TV gold: Hate watch alert!
Why You Should Binge This? The Golden Bachelor is the rare TV show that features people in their 60s and 70s not only looking sexy, but also having hot sex lives. It gives us all hope! Also, the women are just as catty or more than their younger contestants on The Bachelor.
Who Would Love This? Fans of The Bachelor, Thelma and June Squibb stans, anybody who needs a show to share with their mom or grandma https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LhBhQ5NBaM
Only Murders In The Building (Season 5)
Premiere Date: September 9, 2025
Where Can I Find It? Hulu
What Is It? The title says it all: it’s a murder mystery show focusing on murders that happen in one particular building in Manhattan. Selena Gomez plays Mabel Mora, the millennial straight woman, to Steve Martin’s and Martin Short’s bumbling boomer detectives. The trio’s podcasts of their investigations have turned them minor celebrities, but Gomez keeps them grounded. The show has somehow figured out the perfect formula of comedy to morbid curiosity. The chemistry between Short and his love interest, Loretta Durkin (Meryl Streep), an actress finding newfound success in her later years, is worth a watch alone. Season four features a mob plot and glorious guest stars, including Logan Lerman, Beanie Feldstein, Dianne Wiest, and Keegan Michael-Key.
Why You Should Binge This? It’s hilarious, heartwarming, and has enough plot to keep you going back for more than just laughs.

This love letter to teachers also stars breakout Janelle James as principal Ava Coleman, who is just as or more interested in her social media followers than the kids at the school. Created by Brunson, Abbott hilariously skews the public school system without being mean-spirited.
Why You Should Binge This? Brunson’s comedy has sharp writing, Broadway legend Sheryl Lee Ralph, and a janitor with a heart of gold. Come for the comedy, stay for the long-kindling romance between Janine and fellow teacher Gregory Eddy played by a fantastic Tyler James Williams.
Who Would Love This? Fans of Parks and Rec and The English Teacher, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia watchers (there was even a crossover episode!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mskeTy-9u08
