From Netflix shows to documentaries to reality TV, we round up our top 10 shows to watch this week
The comedy of errors comes to an end for season four, with Gavin contemplating his comeback while Jared works out his departure. Meanwhile, Richard is entangled in a web of lies and Action Jack makes a risky wager. Tonight also marks the last episode for star T.J. Miller, so expect Erlich Bachman to get a suitably epic and absurd exit.
Wouldn’t it be grand to own a vacation property? Nothing opulent; just a little spot for a nice getaway every now and again. Or forget a vacation property; what about a beautiful home on the beach, where every day feels like a vacation? That goal might seem like a pipe dream to us, but to the people featured on this series it’s a very real quest. Each week in back-to-back episodes we’ll meet prospective buyers in search of the ultimate beach home, and the realtors tasked with making that dream happen. From humble shacks to breathtaking mansions and the quaint beach houses in between, the one thing all of these people seem to have in common is the knowledge that for them, location is everything.
It’s certainly been an interesting season for former vice-president (and, albeit briefly, actual president) Selina Meyer (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) ?now that she’s a private citizen. The season started with a time-jump, one year after Selina lost the election and sent her on a downward spiral that she’s been crawling out of all season; things that should have been triumphs—say, writing her memoirs or the unveiling of?her presidential portrait—became painful embarrassments. We’ve seen her reconnect, awkwardly, with Tom James (Hugh Laurie), watched freshman Congressman Jonah Ryan (Timothy Simons) accidentally cause a government shutdown as Dan (Reid Scott) became a player on network news, and even witnessed Gary (Tony Hale) suffer a massive heart attack—brought on by Selina’s far-less-severe heart attack. As for what the season finale holds, here’s hoping Selina manages to propel herself back into national politics, where the potential for humiliation is so much greater.
Josh (B.C.-born Silicon Valley star Thomas Middleditch) gets dumped by his fiancée. But hey, that’s no reason to let a perfectly good bachelor party go to waste. So he and his pals (including Happy Endings’ Adam Pally and Kroll Show’s Nick Kroll) head to California to drown Joshy’s considerable sorrows.
BC Place Stadium is not what you’d call a hole in? the wall—it holds 54,500 people, after all—so you know that the task of replacing its roof following the 2010 Olympics was ?not a small one. This documentary details exactly how it went down, including transporting 36 gigantic masts, raising them without ripping out the supporting cables, and installing a new soccer screen.
Zombie soldiers, militant conspiracy theorists, Blaine’s fake amnesia? and Major’s brief, glorious transformation into a teen girl—quite a tangled web brain-munching M.E. Liv Moore has woven this year. The drama comes to a head tonight, with season four already in the works.
The female-driven sketch comedy series—described by David Berry of the National Post as the funniest thing on Canadian television since Kids in the Hall—returns for season two.
It just doesn’t feel like summer until the slop is on and the Houseguests have checked in. Hot on the heels of Kevin Martin controversially winning the fifth season of Big Brother Canada comes the return of the U.S. version, which is back for a 19th round of absurd challenges (Oh Roadkill, how did we ever survive without you!), devastating betrayals, and showmances both real and fake.
Much like in seasons past, there has been plenty of speculation but next to no concrete info on what the show has in store this time out. Will the cast be made up of newbies, all-stars or some combination of?the two? Are the creators planning to import members of last year’s digital-only spinoff Big Brother: Over the Top to the main show? Or will they instead just incorporate Big Brother: OTT’s game-changing viewer voting component to keep some of the more duplicitous Houseguests? in line? Might a contestant or two be unceremoniously kicked out of the game before the first episode even airs? As anyone who’s tuned in to these delightfully trashy escapades over the years is well aware, the only thing we know for certain is that the players and producers alike are going to surprise us.
Well, OK, there’s one other thing we can be sure of: our steadfast master of ceremonies Julie Chen will be there, as ever, to guide us through all of the upcoming twists, turns, feuds and farewells.
Guillermo del Toro’s singular gift for creating fully realized, visually stunning fantasy worlds has arguably never been put to more stirring? use than in this 2006 Oscar winner about a young girl living in post-Civil War Spain, who escapes the horrors around her by venturing into a realm of dark whimsy.
From The Sopranos, which used its psychiatrist’s office as a way to turn mob boss Tony into one of the most fully realized protagonists in television history, to In Treatment, which delved into the process of therapy and the complex patient-doctor relationship more immersively than ever before, TV shrinks have made for some of the most compelling small-screen subject matter of the past two decades.
Well, if the early trailers for this incoming series are any indication, we may have found a new obsession to overanalyze this week. If you’ve ever wondered what it would take for Naomi Watts to come to television, now you have your answer. As ?the Australian actress has said in interviews, the role of Jean Halloway was one that she couldn’t see herself growing bored of down the line, and we can see why. In essence, Halloway is a psychiatrist who claims to put the needs of her patients first, but there’s a darkness in her that’s trying to claw its way out. And come out it does, as she gradually develops intimate and often dangerous relationships with the people in her patients’ lives.
As Halloway’s obsessions begin to completely overtake her, they’ll not only put the doctor’s professional life in jeopardy but her personal one too, especially her relationship with husband Michael (Almost Famous’s Billy Crudup).
