“Painting With John” “Two Weeks To Live”

From Great Britain comes this adventure/comedy series about a woman who sets out on a secret mission to honor her father, who died under mysterious circumstances when she was a young girl. Maisie Williams (“Game of Thrones”), Sian Clifford (“Quiz”) and Mawaan Rizwan (“Next of Kin”) head the cast.

John Lurie — a long-standing cult favorite as a musician, actor, director and painter — wrote, directed and stars in this exhilarating new unscripted series, each episode of which is part meditative tutorial and part cozy fireside chat. Ensconced at his worktable, Lurie shares his reflections on what he has learned from life as he polishes his intricate watercolor techniques.
