The Week’s guide to what’s worth watching
Hold Your Breath: The Ice Dive
Finnish free diver Johanna Nordblad excels at swimming long distances in water colder than ice. This documentary toggles between nerve-racking and serene as it tracks her bid to set a world record in a sport she took up after a devastating cycling accident. The challenge requires slipping into an Arctic lake through a hole cut in the ice and swimming without air for three minutes to reach a second hole a soccer pitch away. Available Tuesday, May 3, Netflix
Girls5Eva
Who says four middle-aged women can’t make it as a girl group? Girls5Eva was a surprise hit last year for Peacock, fueled by strong joke writing and winning performances by co-stars Renée Elise Goldsberry, Sara Bareilles, Busy Philipps, and Paula Pell. As Season 2 begins, the pop quartet— one-hit wonders who lost their original fifth member in an infinity-pool tragedy—are ready to cut their comeback album, provided that a knee-replacement surgery doesn’t slow their roll. Available Thursday, May 5, Peacock
The Porter
Black porters of the 1920s lived a double life. They were career men, free to travel and dream. But they were also servants, expected to bow. In this richly imagined new series from Canada, Aml Ameen plays a porter from Montreal who builds a bootlegging business on train runs to jazz-age Chicago, while a friend and fellow World War I vet, played by Ronnie Rowe Jr., works to organize the porters and create North America’s first Black labor union. With Alfre Woodard and Mouna Traoré. Available Thursday, May 5, BET+
Bosch: Legacy
Meet the new Bosch, similar to the old Bosch.
In this spin-off series, Titus Welliver reprises his role as Harry Bosch, who after retiring from the LAPD’s homicide division is working as a private investigator when he teams with Mimi Rogers’ Honey Chandler, a top defense attorney, to bring down a criminal millionaire who tried to have Chandler assassinated. Available Friday, May 6, Amazon Freevee
