Last week, I wrote about wading through the backlog on my DVR (yes, I still haven’t cut the cord), but with family visiting I actually ended up with an unexpected binge: British crime-mystery drama Midsomer Murders. My dad and stepmom watch an episode nightly (two on the weekends!), so I dove right into the middle of season 22. I was sucked in by the rainy-day comfort and intrigue of a good English mystery — looks like I might need to sign in to Tubi more often. —Patrick Gomez, Editor-in-Chief

“Temptation Island”

The world’s most ill-advised form of couples therapy is back! Season 9 introduces us to four more unhappy pairs who hope that spending several weeks apart — and in the company of sexy singles — will solve their relationship issues. The move to Netflix means the action is even racier (“My guilty pleasure is [bleeping] [bleep],” chirps a “tempter” in her intro). While there’s only one couple to root for, there’s a twisted appeal in watching the other three men — who are trash — drive their doomed relationships off a cliff. —Kristen Baldwin, TV Critic

Meet the cast of Temptation Island

“Opus”

Fans of The Menu, The White Lotus, and other skewerings of the lifestyles of the rich and senseless will love this fashion-forward romp through the horrors of celebrity culture, starring Ayo Edebiri and featuring a wicked John Malkovich. —Ryan Coleman, News Writer

“Stag Dance: A Novel and Stories”

Author Torrey Peters massively expanded the parameters of what a trans novel can be with her 2021 instant classic, Detransition, Baby. Her highly anticipated follow-up is a collection that plunges readers into an even more visceral confrontation with identity and desire. —R.C.

“The Wheel of Time”

In season 3 of Rafe Judkins’ Prime Video series (based on Robert Jordan’s fantasy books), the Aes Sedai infighting crescendoes, the deadly Black Ajah step fully into the light, Rand and the gang split up again, and Shohreh Aghdashloo joins the cast.  —Debbie Day, News Editor

“Borderline”

Samara Weaving and Ray Nicholson are a winning combination in Cocaine Bear writer Jimmy Warden’s directorial debut about a pop star and her obsessive fan. Nicholson does the highly improbable — portraying a delusional stalker that viewers will warm to.  —Alamin Yohannes, Social Media Director
