Full Circle (MAX)

Full Circle is a new limited series from Ed Soloman, directed by Steven Soderbergh and featuring an all-star cast.

Claire Danes, Timothy Olyphant, CCH Pounder, Dennis Quaid, Jharrel Jerome, and Jim Gaffigan are among the highlights.

This wasn’t to our taste, but fans of the creative talent might disagree with me wildly.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (Paramount+)

Timing is everything.

Recovering from a crash that happens during an exploratory mission is just part of being Starfleet, but recovering AND participating in an important ceremony with your antagonistic future mother-in-law while she bullies your mother and you’ve lost your ability to repress emotions is a whole other thing.

Can Spock manage to keep his cool (and his fiancée) while the Enterprise team tries to regain his Vulcan side?

The Summer I Turned Pretty (Prime)

Grab your beach blankets, your snacks, your tissues, and all your Taylor Swift music, and prepare for the emotional rollercoaster that is the sophomore season of this young adult series.

We’re back at Cousins Beach with Belly, and the second season very much follows along with the second of Han’s books in the series.

The love triangle is by no means set in stone and even kicks it up a notch as Belly faces summer with a bit of dread because of Conrad and Jeremiah’s fighting over her, Susannah’s health continues to be of concern, and someone unexpectedly threatens Susannah’s home and everything they hold dear!

Too Hot to Handle (Netflix)

The guilty pleasure reality dating show that teases skin, sex, and beautiful scenery (unrelated to the skin and sex, just to clarify) is back with its fifth season!

Alexa has nothing on LANA, who has the daunting task of keeping all these horny hot people from hooking up with each other and costing everyone money. It’s very much a losing battle.

But alas, get your look at the all-new season with this crazy batch of conventionally pretty people on a yacht trying not to do some forbidden dances with one another!
