Television has evolved. With entire series available at the touch of a button through on-demand and streaming services, TV fans don’t need to wait to be entertained. Still, some things are worth waiting for. After a long hiatus, everyone’s favorite “criminal” lawyer is headed back to prime time.
Bob Odenkirk (“Mr. Show With Bob and David”) returns as Jimmy McGill, aka Saul Goodman, in the two-night season premiere of “Better Call Saul,” beginning Sunday and continuing Monday, Feb. 23 and 24, on AMC. The character famously originated in AMC’s “Breaking Bad” and proved so popular that Odenkirk was given his own show, which serves as a prequel to the previous series.
Goodman’s origin story continues in the new season of “Better Call Saul,” which follows Jimmy/Saul as
Mike Ermantraut (Jonathan Banks, “Breaking Bad”) is also back this season. The cantankerous former cop finds himself on the oth er side of the law as he works for underworld figure Gustavo Fring (Giancarlo Esposito, “The Mandal orian”). Both Fring and Ermantraut were main characters who met their demise in “Breaking Bad.”
Fans have been waiting a long time for new episodes of “Saul.”
The Season 4 finale aired in October 2018, and fans will likely be expect ing a big payoff for their patience. By all accounts, Odenkirk appears to think that they will be satisfied with “Better Call Saul’s” 10-epi sode fifth season. At the 2020 Winter Television Critics Associa tion Press Tour, the actor said that the new season would be “bigger.”

Based on the graphic novel of the same name by Charles Forsman, this new coming of age series premieres Wednesday, Feb. 26. Sophia Lillis (“Sharp Objects”) stars as Sydney, an awkward teenage girl facing the difficulties of high school, including being (secretly) in love with her best friend, Dina (Sofia Bryant, “The Code”), and dealing with issues within her family. As if being a teenager isn’t hard enough, Sydney’s life gets even more complicated when she starts exhibiting telekinetic powers that flare up at the worst possible moments. Luckily, she has Dina as well as her neighbor and other best friend, Stanley Barber (Wyatt Oleff, “It,” 2017), to help her figure things out.
“Followers”
Don’t miss the premiere of this Japanese Netflix original series on Thursday, Feb. 27. The show revolves around two very different women living in Tokyo whose lives begin to overlap. Limi Nara (Miki Nakatani, “Ghost Writer”) is a fashion photographer who, despite having fame and an extremely successful career, still wants more. At almost 40 years old, she wants to be a mother. On the other side of things is Natsume Hyakuta (Elaiza Ikeda, “Room Laundering”), a young aspiring actress and model whose career is floundering. Despite being confident and making assurances that she will raise the child alone, Limi struggles to find a man willing to father her child. Meanwhile, after Limi photographs Natsume and posts the photo on Instagram, Natsume’s career begins to take off, but her confidence and sense of self-worth is drastically affected by how many followers she has and what they say in their comments.
“All The Bright Places”
Finch (Justice Smith, “The Get Down”) and Violet (Elle Fanning, “Mary Shelley,” 2017) seem to have
nothing in common in this poignant film that debuts Friday, Feb. 28, on Netflix. She’s a cheerleader, super popular and on student council, while he is obsessed with death and is considered a freak by most of his classmates. But when they run into each other at the top of the school’s bell tower, both intending to jump, they bond and talk each other down. The pair become friends as Violet tells Finch about her survivors guilt and how she feels responsible for the car accident that killed her sister, and Finch tells Violet about his depression and suicidal thoughts.
“Run the Race” (2019)
Former football star Tim Tebow takes on a new role as producer of this high school football film coming to Prime on Tuesday, Feb. 25. Brothers Zach (Tanner Stine, “Impulse”) and Dave (Evan Hofer, “Dwight in Shining Armor”) haven’t had an easy life — their mother died when they were young and their dad (Kristoffer Polaha, “Ringer”) walked out on them — but the one thing they have going for them is that Zach is the star football player at their school. When Zach finds out he’s being scouted by the University of Florida for a scholarship, he sees it as a ticket out of their dead-end town, but his dream is shattered when he is injured while at a party and is unable to play football. Zach is convinced his chance to get out is gone until his coach (Mykelti Williamson, “Chicago P.D.”) tells him they give scholarships for track, and both brothers set out to earn themselves track scholarships.
new vicar has come to Grantchester: Rev. Will Davenport (Tom Brittney, “UnREAL”). Davenport is not your average vicar — he’s young, has a love for rock music and rides a motorcycle. Season 4 features shifting dynamics as Davenport begins working with Keating and Chambers.
Meet the newest vicar in Grantchester when Season 4 of this popular drama (based on the books by Jame Runcie) debuts on Prime on Tuesday, Feb. 25. Set in the 1950s, the series stars James Norton (“Happy Valley”) as Sidney Chambers, an Anglican vicar and war veteran who begins sleuthing after a woman begs him to look into a death that was ruled a suicide. Chambers eventually begins working with Det. Geordie Keating (Robson Green, “Strike Back”). The two make an unlikely duo, with Chambers being extremely charming and Keating being extremely grumpy, but they go on to solve many local cases. The end of Season 3 saw Chambers lose faith in the church and hand in his resignation. He had plans to move to London but ended up staying instead. Now, a
“After the Wedding” (2019) This emotional drama based on a 2006 Danish film comes to Hulu on Friday, Feb. 28. Michelle Williams (“Fosse/Verdon”) stars as Isabel Andersen, who runs an orphanage in Calcutta and travels to New York City to meet with a potential benefactor. When she arrives, she meets Theresa Young (Julianne Moore, “Still Alice,” 2014), who explains that she is selling her company and wants to donate millions of dollars to the orphanage on the condition that Isabel attends her daughter Grace’s (Abby Quinn, “Little Women,” 2019) wedding the next day. Isabel is shocked when she realizes that Theresa’s husband, Oscar (Billy Crudup, “The Morning Show”), is her ex-boyfriend, and Grace is, in fact, the child they had given up for adoption. Theresa denies having any knowledge of Isabel’s relation to her family and insists she stay in New York to get to know Grace, but the more time Isabel spends with Theresa’s family, the more she begins to question Theresa’s motives.

A panel of experts is then brought in to grade their work on not just design and engineering but also function. While all these students are clearly brilliant, only one team can be named Shop Class Champions.

Food challenges and eating competitions are nothing new: Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest has been going strong for more than 100 years, and so has the Crown Candy Kitchen challenge in St. Louis, Missouri (you have 30 minutes to down five 24-ounce malts).
But a more recent phenomenon is the number of restaurants worldwide that are offering food challenges. That’s often credited to the food destination/competitive eating series “Man v. Food,” which is back this Tuesday, Feb. 25, on Cooking Channel.
“Man v. Food” originally ended in 2012 — that’s when host Adam Richman signed off after three seasons of “Man v. Food” and one season of “Man v. Food Nation,” which had Richman coaching locals instead of taking on the challenges himself. Travel Channel then canceled the popular series, though you probably wouldn’t know it with all the repeat airings on Travel and Cooking Channel.
These days, a slimmed-down Richman is still involved in the culinary world as a critic, author and occasional host. But his popularity endures, as evidenced by a collective online meltdown in 2017 when fans heard that Travel
was rebooting “Man v. Food” with a new host.
Luckily, former-bartenderturned-professional-eater Casey Webb has been able to win over fans in his four seasons as host of “Man v. Food.” The New Jersey native takes the challenges seriously and has shown he’s up for almost anything (but not live shrimp). Spice levels can make things especially tough, regardless of quantity. Still, there’s something to be said for watching Webb attempt to eat 12 fully loaded hot dogs in just 30 minutes.
For participants, these types of challenges are a question of pride and a fun test of endurance and determination (and stomach muscle control). But for the eateries, it’s a marketing opportunity.
According to National Restaurant Association stats, there are more than a million restaurants in the U.S., and, of course, each one would love to fill every seat in the house. Food challenges are a fun way to set an establishment apart and keep customers coming in the door, whether they’re willing to try the challenge or simply watch and cheer on someone else.
Sure, “Man v. Food” and the phenomenon of food challenges have drawn a fair amount of criticism (Alton Brown condemned the show as a gluttonous display). But many are still fascinated by stomach-stretching feats. And that’s why viewers will keep tuning in to “Man v. Food” episodes past and present, including the one airing Tuesday, on Cooking Channel.
