My Top Picks To Watch This Week

I’m definitely locked in for “Wanda Sykes: Legacy” because Wanda Sykes never misses when it comes to sharp comedy and real talk.

I’m also VERY curious about “Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed” because the combination of Tatiana Maslany, blackmail, murder, and suburban chaos sounds like the kind of mess I’m absolutely going to binge.

Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan: Ghost War is another must-watch for me because I’m always here for a good espionage thriller, especially with John Krasinski back in action.

And listen… “The Boroughs” might end up being one of the sleeper hits of the summer. That cast alone has my full attention.

Of course, I’ll also be seated for the final season of “The Chi” because I need to see how this story wraps up after all these years.

I’m also planning to check out “The Yogurt Shop Murders: The Final Chapter” because true crime documentaries always pull me in, especially when new details are involved.

And finally, I already know “Josh Johnson: Symphony” is about to have me crying laughing because Josh Johnson has quietly become one of the funniest comedians working right now.
