Watch: BEEF on Netflix. For those enjoyed the Emmy-winning, rage-filled first season, you’re in luck! BEEF is back with an all-new plot and cast, this time including Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, and Charles Melton. While the show does feel like one prolonged anxiety spiral, it’s also deeply entertaining and the plot is….rich. – Natalie J.
Watch: Rooster. A wholesome-ish show starring The Office’s Michael Scott, Ted Lasso’s Jamie Tartt, and Scrubs’ Perry Cox? Sign me up for 6 seasons and a movie! Rooster follows the messy relationship between an awkward novelist (Steve Carell) and his professor daughter (Charly Clive) on a college campus full of ego and dysfunction, supported by an eccentric crowd. It’s slightly cringe, sentimental, and unhinged, which means you’ll laugh and then feel a bit bad about it. The writing is sharp, the cast is game, and Robby Hoffman steals scenes in her brief appearances. If you want a replacement forShrinking, Rooster might be worth a look! — Suhani

But the couple would go on to capture national attention for another, more shocking scandal before they ever made it down the aisle. What first appears as an open-and-shut case soon spirals into a chaotic saga that blurs the line between victim and perpetrator.More For You
