This weekend I have … a half-hour, and I love to see my fears fictionalized.
‘Servant’
When to watch: Friday on Apple TV+.
Childcare in America is already a nightmare. This is before you add a potentially demonic nanny and a baby that might not be an actual baby. This series, which stars Lauren Ambrose, Nell Tiger Free, Rupert Grint and Toby Kebbell, takes place almost entirely within a claustrophobic Philadelphia rowhouse. Even if you love horror, the Shyamalan brand of slow-burn domestic terror — M. Night is an executive producer and sometimes directs, and his daughter Ishana writes and also directs — has a very particular flavor. (Considering how many scenes showcase rotting or infested food, is that flavor good?) Season 3 concludes on Friday, with the fourth and final season already ordered for next year.
… a day, and blame it on the juice, baby.
‘Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls’
When to watch: Starting Friday, on Amazon.
Truth hurts. So do reality show eliminations. In this new unscripted series, Lizzo, the superstar singer and flutist, searches for new backup dancers. (There are more conventional hiring forums, but as Lizzo explains in the first episode, “Girls that look like me simply don’t get representation.”) There’s a lot of reality show padding — the skimpy costumes, excepted — but the show emphasizes progress rather than competition, with positivity given precedence over drama. All eight episodes arrive on Friday.
… a day, and my world needs more tiaras.
‘Bridgerton’
When to watch: Starting Friday, on Netflix.
“Bridgerton” returns, which is superb news for those of us who love an Empire waist and hope one day to be able to tell those two older brothers apart. This season observes the mating rites of Anthony (Jonathan Bailey), the eldest Bridgerton sibling and a viscount. (Apparently, a viscount is very like a regular count. Only less so.) Anthony seems to have set his matrimonial sights on the delicate Edwina Sharma (Charithra Chandran), but he also seems awfully interested in her sister, Kate (Simone Ashley). Bring on the heavy breathing — well, as heavy as that corsetry allows.
