The Week’s guide to what’s worth watching
Am I Being Unreasonable?
Daisy May Cooper, who won a BAFTA award and the hearts of British comedy fans with This Country, has found a new series tailored to her talents. She shines here as an oversharing middleclass English mum who’s stuck in an unfulfilling marriage and surreptitiously grieving over the gruesome death of a man she had an affair with. Selin Hizli plays a new mother in the village who’s looking like a badly needed new bestie until Cooper’s Nic trusts her with her secret. Available Tuesday, April 11, Hulu
Florida Man
What happens in Florida...is often crazy. That proves true for Edgar Ramirez, who in this new series plays an ex-cop with a gambling problem who sleeps with Delly, a gangster’s girlfriend, and then takes a job to find her when she vanishes. But Delly, played by Abbey Lee, has a scheme that could make them both rich. Expect standard Sunshine State noir, with plenty of guns, gators, and crooked eccentrics, including Anthony LaPaglia as the protagonist’s father. Available Thursday, April 13, Netflix
The Last Thing He Told Me
The day he vanished, he left two cryptic notes and a bag of cash. In this series adaptation of a recent No. 1 best-seller, Jennifer Garner plays the wife left behind, forced to dig into her husband’s secrets while trying to finally win the trust of her teenage stepdaughter. The man they both loved turns out not to be who they thought he was, and their hunt makes them potential targets of a criminal syndicate. With Mare of Easttown’s Angourie Rice and Game of Thrones’ Nikolaj CosterWaldau. Debuts Friday, April 14, Apple TV+
Blindspotting
There’s nothing like prison to derail a chance at a happy family. The soul-stirring Jasmine Cephas Jones returns in the second season of this delightful series spin-off of the 2018 movie, playing Ashley Rose, the put-upon baby mama of an imprisoned drug pusher. The story picks up after the pair has tied the knot in a ceremony at San Quentin. Family visitation days come next, but hardly get Ashley closer to her dream of a stable life or stop the intense monologues and superb inner-world sequences that give the series a unique energy. With Rafael Casal and Helen Hunt. Friday, April 14, at 9 p.m., Starz
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
Midge Maisel has been around the world and back again. The fifth and final season of the award-winning series begins with Rachel Brosnahan’s housewife turned comedian back in New York City, where it all began. After some hard times that included being deservedly kicked off a tour, Midge gets a jolt to her career at Carnegie Hall and decides to aim high again. Bet on her to make it this time. Debuts Friday, April 14, Amazon Prime
