Russian Doll
Netflix
Season two, what a concept!
That's right, Natasha Lyonne is back for another round in the series she created with Amy Poehler: Russian Doll.
Where the first season was a funny and introspective take on the Groundhog Day time loop genre, season two ditches the loop for a different form of messing with time.
Lyonne's character, Nadia, finds herself back in time after she boards a train. And not just any old time - she's back in 1982, in the body of her pregnant mother.
Her time-loop buddy Alan, meanwhile, finds himself in Berlin in the '60s in the body of his grandmother.
Season two has the same offbeat and charming humour as the first season, and Nadia is just as enjoyable as enjoyable as she was the first time, but the season doesn't have the same impact as its predecessor.
The story isn't as tight and perfect, and there's the usual time travel paradoxes to contend with.
But the performances are all excellent, and Schitt's Creek's Annie Murphy is a particular treat as the young Ruth.
The Flight Attendant
Binge
Everyone's favourite paranoid hot mess is back with the return of The Flight Attendant.
Kaley Cuoco picks up her role as Cassie Bowden about a year after the events of the first season.
Cassie is dedicated to her sobriety, has moved to the west coast for a new start and is steadily dating a new guy.
Oh, and she's also doing some civilian work as a CIA asset on the side. Totally casual and not at all dangerous behaviour.
When tracking one of the marks she was told to merely observe in Berlin, Cassie finds herself caught up in an explosion and doubting her own eyes. And she's back to having existential conversations in her own head - this time with past versions of herself instead of the poor, dead Alex.
The big question is, can Cassie keep her newfound stable life in check when crazy stuff is once again happening all around her?
Gaslit
Stan
If you've seen All the Presidents Men or just know your modern American history, you know that the Watergate scandal was the beginning of the end for president Richard Nixon.
The White House tried to sweep its involvement in the botched break-in of the Watergate building - where their opposition, the Democratic National Committee, was based - under the rug and was found out.
Gaslit takes place as the plan to breach Watergate is coming together.
It follows Martha Mitchell (played brilliantly by Julia Roberts) as the vocal and influential wife of Attorney-General John Mitchell (Sean Penn, in heavy prosthetics) as she dares to speak out against what's going on.
We also track White House counsel John Dean (Dan Stevens) and the man who orchestrated the break-in, Gordon Liddy (Shea Whigham, unhinged).
Episodes drop weekly and if this start is anything to go by, this historical dramedy with a modern edge is going to be thoroughly compelling. Also stars the delightful Betty Gilpin, Darby Camp, Allison Tolman and Nat Faxon.
