We Were the Lucky Ones
Hulu ■ New Series
Based on the New York Times bestselling novel by Georgia Hunter, this compelling eight-episode limited series follows a large Jewish family in Poland as they are separated during World War II and must survive some of the worst atrocities of history in the hopes of one day reuniting. Among the compelling individual stories is that of youngest sibling Halina (The Act‘s Joey King), who proves to be brave and enterprising as she pockets lactic acid (useful in doctoring identity papers) for the black market and at one point is jailed and brutally beaten. Her resilience, and that of the entire family, will leave you awestruck. Expect to cry buckets! Prime Video ■ Season Premiere
This crime drama, which aired its first season on Showtime, moves to Prime starting with this 10-episode second season. The story takes viewers back to the fictional small town of Buell, Pennsylvania, where police Detective Del Harris (Jeff Daniels) becomes compromised when Billy Poe (Alex Neustaedter), the son of the woman he loved, Grace Poe (Maura Tierney), is accused of murder. Harris is forced to decide what he is willing to do to protect them. Season 2 picks up with
a string of seemingly unrelated murders, hinting at a much larger conspiracy that threatens everyone in this small, tight-knit town.
The Baxters
Prime Video ■ New Series
It’s family first in this faith-driven drama based on the bestselling books from Karen Kingsbury. The first 10 episodes follow the determined Kari (Ali Cobrin), who tries to save her marriage after learning that her professor husband, Tim (Brandon Hirsch), has been cheating on her with a student. In Kari’s corner are her loving parents — Elizabeth and John (played by Roma Downey and Ted Mcginley) — and four siblings. Of course, Kari’s compassionate mom is her first call after it all falls apart. Downey was down for the drama, but the Baxters’ relatability really drew in the Touched by an Angel vet. “Here is a series about a quintessential American churchgoing family dealing with real challenges and figuring out a way to come out stronger on the other side,” Downey says. “I know audiences will see themselves in this story.” — Emily Aslanian
