  • John Mulaney
    Netflix

    John Mulaney is back on Netflix with a new live weekly talk show, during which he gets to sit down with guests including Michael Keaton, Tracy Morgan, and Ben Stiller. The series sees Mulaney in his comedic element, delivering a monologue in every installment.

    Decider’s Sean L. McCarthy writes, “Mulaney tells fans who may notice ‘subtle differences’ in the set from 2024 to now to go for a walk and metaphorically touch grass. But thank goodness for any differences he’s bringing to the format! And hey, just think, since it’s live, it might not even be late-night where you’re streaming it. It could be your literal wake-up call!”

  • Andrew Schulz
    Netflix

    Comedian Andrew Schulz gets open and honest about first-time fatherhood in his new special, Andrew Schulz: LIFE. Schulz takes viewers along on his IVF journey with his wife and the ups and downs of trying to conceive their daughter.

    Decider’s Sean L. McCarthy writes, “Schulz claimed his sperm count received a grade of C+, and that sounds about right in describing the quality of his stand-up as well. Hey, it’s still a passing grade!”

    The tragic death of Gabby Petito is front and center in Netflix’s American Murder: Gabby Petito. Petito, who was murdered by her fiancé Brian Laundrie while the two were traveling together, dominated headlines shortly after her death in 2021. Netflix’s show aims to add more context to her killing.

    Decider’s Joel Keller writes, “While American Murder: Gabby Petito probably won’t tell you much more about the Petito case than what the news media did, some of the context it provides certainly gives the story more depth than the splashy tabloid headlines did.”

  • A woman kisses a man on the neck
    Netflix

    After premiering on FOX in 2001, being revamped on the USA Network in 2018, and most recently moving to Netflix, Temptation Island continues to keep reality TV watchers hooked. The series follows four couples, all of whom are tempted to cheat on each other while living separated in different villas.

    Decider’s Liz Kocan writes, ” I am absolutely certain that Temptation Island is going to shoot into Netflix Top 10 and people will be talking about it for days, but I’m also certain that I didn’t enjoy it. This is not fun, light entertainment; much of it feels sad (like, the part where all the contestants cry about having to split up), much of it feels mean (like, the parts where contestants constantly take jabs at each other which is sort of expected but goes on too long), and I can’t say I’m rooting for anyone to make it through this process unscathed.”

    Zero Day stars Robert De Niro as a former president of the United States who must investigate a massive cyberattack that has harmed the country. The starry series also features Lizzy Caplan, Dan Stevens, Jesse Plemons, Connie Britton, Bill Camp, Angela Bassett… we could go on.

    Decider’s Joel Keller writes, “The cast of Zero Day is the main reason why we’re going to keep watching, but the final moments of the first episode gave the story more intrigue than what we’ve seen from terrorism thrillers in the recent past.”

    Kids shows are always a hit on Netflix — who could forget the Cocomelon craze from a few years ago? Now, the children have moved on to a hot new show: Ms. Rachel. The titular teacher has taken her talents from YouTube to Netflix, where she teachers young viewers everything about reading and speech.

    Decider’s Joel Keller writes, “Ms. Rachel is a friendly, down-to-earth series that makes sure its target audience is participating with what’s going on instead of watching passively.”

  • Tyler Perry’s Beauty in Black

    Tyler Perry crafted another hit with Beauty in Black, his latest Netflix sensation. The prolific writer’s show introduces two women from different worlds — one makes her living as a stripper, while the other is a successful businesswoman — whose lives become intertwined. Of course, drama ensues.

    Decider’s Joel Keller writes, “Look, we get it; this is Perry’s idea of what this world is about. But we wonder if Perry was the right guy to write this kind of story. If the story were written by women, or perhaps not a media mogul who became a billionaire via Madea films and silly family sitcoms, there might be more subtlety to the story.”

    Kate Hudson leads Running Point, Netflix’s new sports comedy from creator Mindy Kaling. Hudson plays a former party girl who becomes president of fictional Los Angeles basketball team the Waves after years of being underestimated by the rest of her family.

    Decider’s Joel Keller praised the series, writing, “Kate Hudson is the best part of Running Point, but Kaling and producers Elaine Ko, Ike Barinholtz and David Stassen have built a winning ensemble around her, with a story that’s not only a workplace comedy, but one about family, as well.”

    Stream Adolescence on Netflix

    Adolescence, Stephen Graham’s four-part crime drama seamlessly shot with no cuts, has received a ton of positive reception. The chilling limited series follows 13-year-old Jamie Miller (Owen Cooper), who is accused of killing a girl at his school.

    Decider’s Joel Keller writes, “Adolescence is a powerful story about what happens when a juvenile is accused of a serious crime like murder. It not only tells its story in a compelling way, but it shifts the viewer’s perspective often, from thinking Jamie is innocent, to thinking he’s guilty and back again.”
