Bridget Everett delivers among the many 12 months’s finest performances as Sam, nonetheless grieving her sister’s dying but in addition making an attempt to be just a little extra susceptible, extra open, extra forgiving, extra in contact with each her figurative and her literal voice. “You have a wealthy, full instrument,” her singing instructor tells her. “And everybody has to work laborious, it doesn’t matter what their reward is.” Please oh please, let this present be renewed for a 3rd season.

… a couple of hours, and I need a household comedy.

‘Primo’
When to observe: Now, on Freevee.

Rafa (Ignacio Diaz-Silverio) is a junior in highschool and the recipient of fixed recommendation from his 5 omnipresent kooky uncles, his mother, his steering counselor, his friends. And whereas plenty of coming-of-age exhibits heart on characters determined to develop up, who say “I’m 16!” to imply “I’m an grownup!,” Rafa is sweetly hanging on to the final chapters of his childhood, even when everybody thinks he needs to be extra centered on his future. Speed and cynicism typically go collectively in comedy, however “Primo” zips together with a straightforward, distinctive heat. If you just like the glad loopiness of “Scrubs,” “Bob’s Burgers” or particularly “Malcolm within the Middle,” do that.

‘Prehistoric Planet 2’
When to observe: Now, on Apple TV+.

This lush dino documentary franchise, narrated by David Attenborough and scored by Hans Zimmer, Anze Rozman and Kara Talve, finishes its second sequence with an episode about North America, however the present explores each a part of the globe. Each installment is stuffed with creatures’ wistful gazing, with moments of crafty and majesty — all the character documentary goodness you get from “Planet Earth” et al. But a few of its dedication to the bit appears odd: “The largest mass migration on Earth happens in virtually whole darkness,” Attenborough says within the “Oceans” episode, “and might solely be seen with particular night-vision cameras.” Then a dinosaur swims by. That have to be some digital camera!
