- Hold on to your remotes and cancel all your plans.
-
We are bringing you all the best stuff to watch
-
so far in 2019.
-
Hey there, World Wide Watchers, I'm Alex Robinson, and
-
this is another episode of "Bingeworthy."
-
A show where I talk about what you can
-
and should be streaming right now.
-
Today we're gonna be talking about
-
the absolute best things to watch so far in 2019,
-
with absolutely no references to "Young Sheldon."
-
You're welcome.
-
- This isn't over.
-
- "Sex Education."
-
Otis, the son of a sex therapist,
-
played by Gillian Anderson with a spot on British accent,
-
teams up with a misunderstood and
-
wildly intelligent classmate named Maeve,
-
to help fellow high school students
-
with their romantic problems.
-
You know, all too typical things, like
-
performance anxiety, masturbation, and
-
practicing oral sex on at a high school party.
-
The show delves into more serious topics as well,
-
but the undeniable John Hughes vibe,
-
think "Pretty in Pink," keeps it fun and flirty.
-
While so many shows try to tackle topics
-
of teenage angst with mediocrity,
-
"Sex Education" goes above and beyond
-
and is the one to watch right now.
-
- Let me get you some condoms.
-
- No thanks, Mom.
-
- "True Detective" Season 3.
-
First off, no spoilers.
-
I'm simply here to tell you that Season 3
-
is truly a return to form for the show and Nic Pizzolatto.
-
Now there are the quintessential flawed men as cops,
-
who can't seem break away from a disturbing case,
-
myriad theories about a pedophile ring
-
come back into the picture,
-
and following the show is like trying to solve
-
a puzzle when you're missing half the pieces.
-
At times, the plot can meander in weird directions,
-
especially when trying to figure out
-
just where the secondary characters fit
-
into this haunting universe,
-
but fans of Season 1 should find some masochistic fun
-
in trying to theorize who 'dun it.
-
"The other two."
-
A hilarious new show on Comedy Central,
-
"the other two" comes to us from the minds of
-
former SNL writers Chris Kelly and Sara Schneider.
-
The plot centers around 30-somethings
-
Cary, an aspiring actor/waiter,
-
and Brooke, a broke real estate agent,
-
as they what their younger, 13-year-old brother,
-
Chase, rise to fame as a YouTube superstar
-
who sings ridiculously bad pop songs
-
that the internet eats up.
-
Remind you of anyone?
-
Looking at you, Biebs.
-
There are eight episodes in Season 1
-
and the show was recently picked up
-
for a second season on Comedy Central.
-
You can check it out right now.
-
- OK, remind me, I need to find a guy
-
to go home with tonight 'cause I don't have a house.
-
- "Black Monday."
-
Now streaming on Showtime, "Black Monday"
-
is about a Wall Street wolf who hires a
-
naive analyst as part of scheme
-
to leverage insider knowledge in the year
-
leading up to the 1987 stock market crash.
-
"What's so great about it?"
-
I'm glad you asked.
-
Executive produced by Seth Rogan, among some others,
-
the half-hour comedy both revels in it's glitzy
-
very not politically correct Reagan-era setting
-
as well as makes fun of how terrible
-
everything and everyone was.
-
While also delivering a neatly executed financial caper.
-
The show stars Don Cheadle, Regina Hall,
-
Andrew Rannalls and Paul Sheer; and if you're a fan
-
say, "Anchorman" and/or "Trading Places,"
-
this is the one for you.
-
"Russian Doll."
-
Now streaming on Netflix.
-
"Russian Doll" is eight totally bingable episodes
-
filled with cynicism, dark humor and
-
Natasha Lyonne dying and coming back to life
-
over and over again.
-
Basically, Lyonne is forced to relive her
-
36th birthday, a la "Groundhogs Day,"
-
in an effort to figure out just why
-
the hell she can't seem to stay alive.
-
The show kinda plays out like a humorous episode
-
of "Black Mirror," but turns into a
-
profound and affecting meditation on trauma.
-
Plus, come on, it's Natasha Lyonne,
-
and she's the (beep) best.
-
That is it for today.
-
Happy streaming.
-
I'm Alex Robinson and that was "Bingeworthy."
