FRIDAY
Best bet, maybe, is
“Marvel’s Iron Fist,” available on Netflix today. It’s among the increasing number of shows Netflix is withholding from critics, mostly because everyone at Marvel is a paranoid control freak. Anyway, looks like it has potential, but what do I know? Binge on the complete first season.

first season of “Samurai Gourmet.” Amazon is offering its first German-language thriller, “You Are Wanted,” starring Matthias
