Editor’s Note

Feel-good TV hit gets renovated

Ostensibly a spinoff of Extreme Makeover — in which people’s looks were improved with the help of cosmetic surgery — Extreme Makeover: Home Edition premiered in 2003, going on to become a heartwarming hit. With each episode renovating the home of a needy and deserving family, the series topped the ratings before ending its run in 2012.

In 2020, HGTV mounted a revival, with Modern Family alum Jesse Tyler Ferguson taking over for original host Ty Pennington That version only lasted for a single 10-episode season, yet that wasn’t the end; in 2023, ABC announced plans for another revival, this time hosted by Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin, creators of the global lifestyle brand The Home Edit.

Produced by Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine, the latest iteration of the show doesn’t stray far from the tried-and-true formula established in the original.

“In each episode, Shearer and Teplin will meet a deserving family in need of a new home or a major renovation,” notes the network’s press release. “A team of builders, contractors and design experts will assist them on each big makeover project,

ultimately transforming the home based on the family’s lifestyle and needs.”

The biggest difference from the old show is that the process now includes the pair’s organizing expertise, assisting each family to edit every item they own by helping them determine what to keep and what to ditch.

“It’s a pinch-me kind of situation,” Shearer told People. “It’s such an iconic franchise,” added Teplin. “And then not only is it the one deserving family, but it brings the whole community together in such an unbelievable, just compassionate way.”

Added Shearer: “I would say, a dream come true, but we could never dream this big.”

SPINOFF SPUN OUT?

What happened to the spinoff of The Rookie?

(I just saw the star in that new show Grotesquerie.)

F.N., Burnaby

Due to a combination of so-so ratings and the disruptions of the Hollywood strikes, The Rookie: Feds — starring Niecy Nash-Betts as a freshman FBI agent in her 40s — was cancelled in November of 2023 after its rookie season. That said, ABC is apparently still keen to expand the show’s universe. With the Nathan Fillion-led original set to premiere season seven on January 7, Deadline reports that the network and creator Alexi Hawley are in early development on a Washington, D.C.-set spinoff about “a male cop who is stepping into a new phase of life in his second act.”

NEW SPY ON THE SCENE?

Do you know if they’ll be continuing the Mr. & Mrs. Smith TV show at all?

E.V., West Vancouver Prime Video’s mix of espionage thriller and incisive relationship drama will return for a second mission — though quite possibly with a pair of new operatives. Debuting in February 2024, season one ended on a cliffhanger, with partners/spouses John (Donald Glover) and Jane (Maya Erskine) backed into

a corner by some fellow codename-Smith agents sent to assassinate them — with the badly injured duo down to their last bullet.

The fates of the characters, and the return of stars Erskine and Glover, are up in the air at the moment. But it appears that the show may be adopting an anthology-style structure, with a different Agent John and Jane Smith at the centre of the action each season.

On that note, Deadline reports Mark Eydelshteyn, one of the breakout stars of Golden Globe-nominated romantic drama flick Anora,

Anora leading man Mark Eydelshteyn has been cast in season two of Prime Video’s romantic spy thriller Mr. & Mrs. Smith.

has just been cast as a new John. Whether the young Russian actor is playing the main John, or one of this spy universe’s endless other Johns, remains to be seen. Deadline had previously reported that pop idol Billie Eilish was in talks to play a Jane, but apparently her touring schedule won’t permit such a foray into TV stardom. Whether original series lead Glover appears onscreen or not, he remains aboard as executive producer and creator, alongside co-creator Francesca Sloane

A release date for season two is still TBA.

NORWAY NOIR

One of my favourite crime novelists is Jo Nesbø, and I was so excited to hear they were doing a show based on his books. Any update?

D.G., North Vancouver The internationally bestselling Norwegian writer’s most iconic character, Detective Harry Hole, is indeed coming

to Netflix with a nine-episode series called Detective Hole Alas, you’ll have to wait until 2026 to binge it.

Based on Nesbø’s fifth Hole novel, The Devil’s Star, the show casts Tobias Santelmann (The Last Kingdom) as the tortured sleuth, who here must hunt down a mysterious killer while also doing battle with a shady member of his own police force (For All Mankind’s Joel Kinnaman). Per the synopsis: “Underneath the surface, Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole is a nuanced character drama about two police officers — and supposed colleagues — operating on opposite sides of the law.

Throughout the first season, Harry goes head-to-head with his longtime adversary, the corrupt Detective Tom Waaler, as the two navigate the blurred ethical lines of the criminal justice system. But only time will tell whether Harry can catch the serial killer — while also bringing Tom to justice — before it’s too late.”

Fargo and Prison Break alum Peter Stormare also stars.

I was 16 years old in 1976 when I fell in love with Gary Frank, who played Willie Lawrence on what was my favourite TV series, Family. Is he still acting? I would love to catch up with his latest work.

K.A., Vancouver

Family was an Emmy-winning miniseries that aired on ABC in 1976. The ratings were so strong that the network decided to keep going with four more seasons, chronicling the ups and downs of the California-based Lawrence clan. The parents, Kate and Doug, were played by Sada Thompson and James Broderick (the late father of actor Matthew Broderick), with their children played by future Family Ties star Meredith Baxter Birney (Nancy), future Empty Nest star Kristy McNichol (Buddy) and, as you mentioned, teen heartthrob Gary Frank (Willie).

Many of the storylines revolved around Willie, who, with his parents’ permission, dropped out of high school so that he could complete a screenplay; later, he sought work at a photo studio and on a TV show called The Dame Game. Willie was often in the company of a young lady who, for that episode at least, seemed to have stolen his heart — but a week or two later it was another one, and then another.

Prior to his time on Family, Frank had been a regular on the 1974 CBS series Sons and Daughters, and after Family left the air in 1980, he guested on such classics as Charlie’s Angels, The Love Boat and Hill Street Blues. His last credited role was in 2012 as a voice actor. Since then, he has — not unlike his Family character — been focused on writing screenplays.

Agory, paranoiasoaked horror series produced by James Wan, the director behind the Conjuring and Insidious movie franchises, casts The Handmaid’s Tale Emmy-nominee Yvonne Strahovski and Canadian Animal Kingdom alum Scott Speedman as Maggie and James Chenoweth — a troubled married couple raising their two kids on a ranch in rural Georgia.

One night, all of a sudden, their fraught lives are upended by an otherworldly menace, as a vicious extraterrestrial assassin beyond human comprehension traps the

Chenoweths and a few of their neighbours at the family’s remote property, on the hunt for a fellow alien it’s been tasked to exterminate. Maggie, James and the rest must fight to stay alive while also sorting through the myriad personal catastrophes that have been driving them apart — yet now, in this inescapable bubble, must be confronted. Worse yet, this predator has in its bag of sickening technological tricks the ability to possess human bodies — not exactly conducive to trust, reconciliation or survival.

The thriller debuts with two episodes on Monday.

PROTECTION

Sunday, BritBox

Aseldom-explored branch of law enforcement gets its time in the spotlight with this six-part U.K. series. Happy Valley’s Siobhan Finneran plays Detective Inspector Liz Nyles, a tough, smart copper who works in witness protection. As we open, Liz is embroiled in multiple calamities after one of her witnesses winds up dead — and she herself comes under scrutiny for having an affair with a colleague. To find

the leak in her unit, save her lover’s reputation and clear her own name, our heroine must probe into the underbelly of both the criminal world and her own department.

As the press release teases: “Witness protection is often glamourized as keeping innocent witnesses safe from harm, but the truth is darker, murkier and far more complex. Many protected people are themselves criminals. It’s a life of moral compromise . . .”

Canadian Samantha Walkes on starring in a pulpy yet authentic cop thriller

Crimes & Passions

QWhat’s the unique appeal of James Patterson’s Alex Cross universe, and of this adaptation?

AWe do a great job of keeping the chills and the thrills going, and it’s a guessing game. Then, the second part is it’s not a procedural. People will think it’s just another “cop show,” but what James Patterson wrote was a very in-depth character. And we know that Cross is held up by the people in his life that are closest to him. There are all these pillars that help him be what he is, and do the job that he does with excellence.

Q How did that character-driven approach to the narrative resonate with you in playing Elle?

AA lot of times, the trope of the “female love interest,” the trope of the “strong Black woman” . . . we fall into these stereotypes, and they’re very one-dimensional. Here, we have the exploration of a really rich, multidimensional woman who has her own career, her own life — separate from the main character. And she always leads with, “I love what I’ve built. I don’t

need you — but I want you.” Elle and Cross . . . it works, it doesn’t work, she’s an activist, he’s a detective. Audiences can be like, “Right, I know what that relationship is. That’s messy, and I know mess.” We all have mess in our lives.

Q The show also engages with the institutional failings of the police. Do you feel that’s essential for any cop show to address nowadays?

A I really do believe it is my job and my responsibility to shine light on these kinds of issues, mirroring what’s happening in our society and being authentic to that story. The fact that [people] shy away from that truth sometimes because it’s ugly or it points a finger or it asks us to be better, I think that’s such a disservice to humanity. We can be far greater, far better than we know. And if we can expand our minds and our hearts, we can reach depths of us that are untouched.

Hot Comedies

Colonel of Truth

One of the most distinctive comedic voices on the entertainment landscape, Denis Leary first broke through as a standup — most notably via his 1993 album No Cure for Cancer, which yielded the breakout song “A**hole.” It’s a tune (and a title) that perfectly set the stage for the man’s soon-tobe-flourishing acting career, wherein Leary carved out a niche for himself as a charmingly acerbic curmudgeon with a secret heart of gold. Even in ostensibly “dramatic” gigs like crime thriller Animal Kingdom and his Emmynominated FX firefighter drama Rescue Me, the Leary wit shone through.

These days, however, the Boston native seems inclined to take a break from existential turmoil in favour of a return to straight-up comedy. For one, you can catch him guesting on Netflix’s No Good Deed opposite Ray Romano and Lisa Kudrow. For another, we have this new military sitcom, on which he also serves as exec producer.

Here, Leary plays Colonel Patrick Quinn, a tell-it-like-it-is U.S. Army

officer who, after sounding off with an unhinged rant, is banished to the Netherlands to oversee the “least important army base in the world.”

Now, a leader who is accustomed to barking orders and dodging bullets in notorious war zones finds himself effectively put out to pasture at an Armed Forces “stronghold” that doesn’t even have guns in its armoury, has zero tactical value and is staffed by soldiers who didn’t quite answer the call to “be all you can be.”

Per Fox’s synopsis: “Surrounded by a diverse group of underdogs, the colonel tries to reinstall military discipline and professionalism with the help of the base’s previous interim leader, who just happens to be his estranged daughter.” That daughter will be played by Dave’s Taylor Misiak, while Community’s Danny Pudi, Scandal’s Joe Morton and The Office’s Catherine Tate also star.

WORST FRIENDS

FOREVER

There are plenty of fresh TV chuckles debuting this holiday season. But, if you’ll indulge us, we’d like to point you in the direction of a buried treasure.

The English comedy duo known as Mitchell & Webb (that would be David Mitchell and Robert Webb) have been responsible for some of the most rib-tickling, gut-busting creations of the past three decades. Arguably, the best showcase of their particular

talents is this U.K. sitcom, which ran from 2003-2015. On Saturday, the first two seasons hit BritBox, inviting us inside the mundane yet enthralling lives of two mismatched flatmates. Mark (Mitchell) is an uptight loan manager, Jez (Webb) is his slacker best friend, and — different though they may appear — the dysfunctional duo’s inner monologues betray a Seinfeld-esque level of narcissism, pettiness and toxic codependency.

WALLACE & GROMIT: VENGEANCE MOST FOWL

Friday, Netflx

One of the most beloved and visually striking cartoons in the history of the medium returns to your screen, as U.K. claymation studio Aardman unveils another feature-length adventure starring cheese-loving inventor Wallace and his devoted pooch Gromit. We open to find Wallace in full Nutty Professor mode, getting entirely too wrapped up in his work. His latest creation is a “smart gnome” that can handle an impressive array of chores. But when that gnome starts to develop a mind of its own, chaos ensues. As usual, it’s up to Gromit to save Wallace from himself. Yet it turns out that all of their

misfortune can, surprisingly, be traced back to an enemy from the past: heist-pulling penguin Feathers McGraw, last seen in the very first W&G short, 1993’s The Wrong Trousers. “Returning to Wallace and Gromit is like meeting up with family friends,” the franchise’s Oscar-winning director Nick Park told Tudum. “They’re like an old married couple in some ways, who know each other so well — it’s a sort of love-hate relationship, but when the chips are down, they are always there for each other. Wallace pushes Gromit’s loyalty to the extreme, and Gromit always wants Wallace to change. It’s something everyone can relate to.”

Many people like to change up their New Year’s Eve celebrations Eve to Eve — attending a party in 2023, staying home for a quiet family countdown in 2024. Ryan Seacrest, however, has had his December 31 plans set in stone for two full decades now. During that time, he’s been the impossibly cheerful face that the vast majority of TV viewers choose to pop on their screens on NYE, for an evening of raucous crowds, A-list musical performances and booze-fuelled interviews that give the broadcast a thrilling dash of unpredictability.

As Seacrest told Entertainment Weekly in 2022 (via Yahoo!): “It was a tradition for me growing up, and my family. We would order pizza and watch the show . . . I think the idea for us is just to create a big party for people who don’t want to go anywhere . . . That’s what Dick [Clark] told me all along. He goes, ‘We’re talking to people who are at home, but we bring the excitement to them through our show.’ ”

From the makers of Selling Sunset, a new addition to Netflix’s luxury real estate portfolio follows an array of cutthroat, impeccably coiffed brokers in New York City as they battle a volatile market — and each other — to move jaw-dropping properties.

Avid readers of TV Week will notice a change in our listings section starting Monday, December 30. That’s when the channels previously known as Food and HGTV will rebrand to Flavour and Home, after parent company Corus lost the Canadian rights to Food and HGTV. With that change in branding comes a change in programming. Although the content you find on Flavour and Home is still of the culinary and home renovation variety, there will be a large influx of fresh shows to replace some of those that Corus can no longer air.

New offerings include more Canadian content, an array of series from abroad — as well as this star-studded

Here, movie star Jessica Alba and her pal Lizzy Mathis take a novel approach to the genre, helping struggling families spruce up their abodes, while also having frank, in-depth, therapeutic heart-to-hearts with those families about the struggles of day-to-day life — especially as it relates to raising kids. “Becoming a parent was exciting, scary and confusing all at once,” Alba told Deadline ahead of the premiere. “Parenthood is the most transformative life experience, and no matter how much you think you’re prepared, you never really are.”

Season one consists of six episodes, with two more seasons already in the can.

Viewers go behind closed doors at three palaces — the Tower of London, Hampton Court and Kensington Palace — to uncover how each has shaped Britain’s monarchy.

Blessed with the voice of an angel, Luther Vandross was always destined for stardom. His big break came when he was discovered by David Bowie, who had shed his Ziggy Stardust persona and embraced the sweet soul sounds coming out of Philadelphia. Vandross played a key role in crafting the “plastic soul” of Bowie’s Young Americans album, and then accompanied him on tour as a backup singer. The attention he garnered from working with Bowie allowed Vandross to launch himself as a solo artist, emerging as one of the most beloved voices in R&B. Racking up hits such as “Dance with My Father,” “Here and Now” and, of course, “Never Too Much,” he went on to collaborate with the likes of Dionne Warwick and Mariah Carey. In Luther: Never Too Much, filmmaker Dawn Porter explores Vandross’ rise from background singer to icon, until a massive stroke took his life at age 54. “Beyond his battles with the music industry and his desire to escape being pigeonholed as an R&B artist emerges a portrait of a spiritual man with a voice from the heavens whose ambition and work ethic simmer around a heart wracked by personal battles with weight and the pursuit of love,” declares the synopsis. “Letting the music guide the way, Luther: Never Too Much is a well-overdue ode to a trailblazer whose music will live in popular culture forever.”

A detective’s former fiancé reappears in Harlan Coben’s Missing You

by the

MISSING YOU

Wednesday, Netflix

elcome in the new year with something familiar and reliable, like a good British mystery miniseries, before diving into the deep end of resolutions. Get cozy and settle in for a binge-watch of the latest Harlan Coben adaptation, Missing You. Slow Horses star Rosalind Eleazar is DI Kat Donovan, a dedicated missing persons investigator who is thrust into a conspiracy that hits very close to home. Kat has spent the past 11 years rebuilding her life after the sudden disappearance

Above: Rosalind Eleazar as DI Kat Donovan, who makes a discovery that changes everything she thought she knew about her past.

of her fiancé, Josh (Ashley Walters, Top Boy), and the murder of her father, DS Clint Donovan (Sir Lenny Henry, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power).

Having left without a trace, Kat assumed for more than a decade that Josh’s disappearance from her life had something to do with her father’s death, but could never pick up the thread between them. When her friend Stacey (Jessica Plummer, The Decameron) pushes Kat to try out the dating app she signed her up for, Kat receives the shock of a lifetime when she swipes to see Josh’s profile.

Now able to start following the thread, it’s up to Kat to find out just who Josh really is and what he is a part of. Any evidence of Josh’s existence online has been wiped clean, so why has he popped up on a dating app? Is he connected to other missing persons cases? Is it really him or is it a phantom profile? Over the five-episode limited series, Kat charges forward with her investigation, shedding light on long-buried secrets in dangerous corners of her precinct.

Starring alongside Eleazar’s Kat is Richard Armitage (The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey) as DCI Ellis Stagger. Fans of Coben’s previous Netflix adaptations will not be surprised to hear Armitage’s name among the main cast of the new limited series — the British actor has starred in three series: The Stranger in 2020, Stay Close in 2021 and 2024’s earlier hit Fool Me Once. Armitage spoke to Yahoo! about starring in the Coben Netflix adaptations. “I feel like I’m their lucky underpants now, so they won’t do one without me,” he joked. He went on to share a peek into his character in Missing You, saying, “It’s a slightly more inverted character than the former ones because we’re very, very unsure of his motives at the beginning. The essence of him is nefarious but, actually, he’s holding on to a secret which has a noble cause.”

Rounding out the Missing You cast are Steve Pemberton (Happy Valley as

Titus, Marc Warren (Sexy Beast) as Monte Leburne, Samantha Spiro (Sex Education) as nurse Sally Steiner, Lisa Faulkner (Unforgotten) as Dana Fells, Mary Malone (Doctor Who) as Aqua, James Nesbitt (Bloodlands) as Calligan and Matt JayWillis (Wolves of War) as Darryl.

In a trailer for the upcoming series, Kat is clearly consumed with the case. Folders, photos and documents decorate the floor of her home, always visible in case inspiration strikes. Two more missing people ramp up Kat’s need to urgently get to the bottom of it all, sending her on a wild ride complete with abductions, car chases and arson. “I don’t know what kind of truth you’re gonna find out there, but I don’t think you’re gonna like it,” a voice tells Kat over a tense scene of the detective investigating, armed with a knife.

Missing You marks Coben’s ninth collaboration with the streamer, with the 10th, an adaptation of his 2019 novel Run Away already in the works. British mystery thrillers are a perennially popular television genre, but in January 2024, Fool Me Once blew viewer expectations out of the water when 61 million Netflix users tuned in during the series’ first two weeks of streaming, starting the new year off with

a binge-watch of its eight edge-of-yourseat engrossing episodes.

Eleazar spoke with the Daily Mail’s You Magazine in September about being ready to handle the pressure of following up a series with such massive viewership. “From the outside, certain levels of fame can look daunting,” she explained, “but I know how lucky I am to have the chance to fulfil certain dreams.”

A star on the rise, Eleazar may be most recognizable for her portrayal of agent Louisa Guy in the Apple TV+ series Slow Horses, or for her two seasons spent on the saucy period drama Harlots. She made her film debut in 2019’s The Personal History of David Copperfield, more than keeping up with writer and director Armando Iannucci’s (Veep) fast-paced, witty dialogue. Eleazar has a knack for portraying characters who are sharp as a tack, something necessary for bringing Kat to life.

Episode writer Victoria Asare-Archer (Stay Close) adapted Coben’s 2014 novel Missing You into its limited series form, hinting in a statement that the job was a labour of love. “Kat Donovan was a thrill to write — she’s such a brilliantly messy, complicated woman,” she said. “I’m really excited that we have a hugely talented ensemble cast on board.” ■

THE BEST TV OF 2024

TV Week counts down the TOP SERIES of the PAST YEAR

Next year is poised to be a banner one for television, with Stranger Things returning for its fifth and final season, and Severance, The Last of Us and The Handmaid’s Tale finally providing us with closure after those long-lingering cliffhangers. But before we start devouring next year’s offerings, let us take a moment to digest some of the highlights of 2024. There were laughs in places you least expected it, and surprising depth in shows that appeared to offer just a quick reprieve from reality. So, get cozy for those final days of the year, because TV Week has assembled the 10 shows that celebrate the range of wonderful TV brought to us in 2024.

Shōgun

The historical drama set in 1600s Edo (now Tokyo) became the first

Japanese-language series to win the Primetime Emmy for Best Drama, winning a total is 18 awards at the 76th Emmy Awards, for accomplishments both onscreen and behind the scenes.

The story follows English sailor John Blackthorne (Cosmo Jarvis), who finds himself captive to the powerful Lord

Toranaga (Hiroyuki Sanada), one of the five regents ruling Japan, who himself is at odds with his own political rivals. The two form an unusual alliance with the assistance of Toranaga’s translator Mariko (Emmy winner Anna Sawai). This visual and narrative feast was designed as a miniseries, based on James Clavell’s 1975

Shōgun

novel, but due to its numerous accolades more seasons are now in the pipeline. The standout episode is without a doubt the season’s penultimate, with its focus on Mariko as her storyline reaches its emotional zenith. FX

Baby Reindeer

Billed as a black comedy, the autobiographical limited series by Scottish writer Richard Gadd tells the story of an aspiring comedian whose customer at the pub where he works

as a bartender morphs into his very own stalker. Any description of the relationship between professionally and emotionally struggling Donny (Gadd, who won an

Emmy for outstanding limited series, lead actor and outstanding writing) and the effusive-yet-abusive Martha (Jessica Gunning, who won an Emmy for best actress), that doesn’t include spoilers, will sound both unfunny and reductive, but Gadd’s deep and intriguing dive into his past, and the circumstances that made this unbelievable relationship trajectory even possible, offers a heart-tugging glimpse at the impact of trauma and our need for companionship. Whatever your expectations of Baby Reindeer, the sevenepisode series will far exceed it. Netflix

Pachinko

There was never any doubt that Min Jin Lee’s exceptional New York Times

Pachinko

Baby Reindeer

bestseller, about four generations of a Korean family, would make a great television show, but that the adaptation would elevate the brilliant source material is a feat that is rare. The first season holds a 97-per-cent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and the second season topped that with 100 per cent. In the season that continues to juxtapose the Baek family as immigrants in Japan prior to the Second World War with their lives in the 1980s, young Sunja (Minha Kim) is struggling with having to raise her two young boys alone after her husband Isak is sent to prison, while her brotherin-law takes a job in Nagasaki to help support the family. As the war rages on, showrunner Soo Hugh tackles the macro through the micro, letting larger historical events have an excruciatingly personal impact on the Baeks. The latter storyline serves to show that no matter how big the sacrifices of the generations that came before you, life continues present its challenges. Apple TV+

Black Doves

Nothing spices up your holiday programming like a good British spy drama, and this one from The Lazarus Project creator Joe Barton nails all the criteria for a classic in the making. Propulsive mystery with need-to-know twists and turns — check. Loads of dark humour — check. Actors that can kick butt

and make you cry — check. Pirates of the Caribbean’s Keira Knightley returns to her action roots as Helen Webb, a patient mother, brilliant hostess and doting wife of prime minister-in-the-making Wallace Webb (The Crown’s Andrew Buchan), who also happens to be a spy delivering government secrets to a mysterious entity. When the man with whom she’s been having a secret affair dies, Helen and her old friend and spy colleague Sam (Paddington’s Ben Whishaw) — who also happens to be a rather pragmatic assassin-for-hire — must solve the case of his death before they, too, end up expired. The show was renewed for a second season before its

premiere; the question is, who makes it all the way to see another day? Netflix

Shrinking

Imagine a show where a therapist, after losing his wife, copes with his grief

Black Doves

Shrinking

by numbing himself with drugs and prostitutes, encouraging his clients to act on their impulses, while neglecting his own teenage daughter as she also grieves. Simultaneously, his boss and mentor, played by one of the biggest action stars in the world, discovers he is suffering from Parkinson’s disease. And, just as our leading man starts to come around again, rebuilding trust with his family and friends, he is confronted with the man who took his wife’s life. This is Bill Lawrence and Brett Goldstein’s comedy series Shrinking, where, despite the dark overtones, warmth and laughter somehow continue to prevail. The second season sees Jimmy (Jason Segel) lose his footing a little, after having finally reconnected with daughter Alice (Lukita Maxwell). Meanwhile Jimmy’s boss Paul (Harrison Ford) faces all the challenges of falling in love later in life. Expect surprising and delightful cameos and generally good vibes throughout. Apple TV+

The Diplomat

The first season of Debora Cahn’s political drama left its viewers on the edge of their seats for a year and a half, with an explosion that possibly robbed the fans from one half of our bantering power couple. It was, thankfully, revealed that Kate and Hal Wyler (Keri Russell and Rufus Sewell) were both OK, and their clever bickering in the name of global security was able to resume. The Clintonesque couple — she, the newly appointed American ambassador to the U.K., and he a former U.S. ambassador who is struggling with the idea of being a trailing husband — continued to investigate what or whom caused the attack that killed 41 sailors on the HMS Courageous, a British aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf. The conveyor belt of shockers offered fans an addictive binge, ending in a cliffhanger that will change the nature of the show entirely, when it returns for an already confirmed third season. Netflix

A Man on the Inside

Based on a real-life case in Chile that inspired an Oscar-nominated documentary, Ted Danson stars as Charles, a retiree whose life after his wife’s death has ground to a halt when he’s unexpectedly hired by private investigator Julie (Lilah Richcreek Estrada) to find out if her client’s mother has been robbed at the Pacific View Retirement Home. Charles goes undercover as the retirement home’s latest

The Diplomat

resident, infiltrating the community made up of a stellar comedic cast that includes Stephanie Beatriz (Brooklyn Nine Nine), Stephen McKinley Henderson (Civil War) and Sally Struthers (All in the Family). What follows is the sweetest, funniest, most heart-warming four-hour binge of the year. If you missed Ted Lasso and need something to make you feel good about

the world again, Mike Schur and Danson have created another Good Place (this one less ironic), where laughing at the process of aging is OK, as long as you are laughing with the characters. Netflix

True Detective: Night Country

After a few lacklustre seasons of Nic Pizzolatto’s brainchild, True Detective,

the anthology crime drama was handed off to Mexican filmmaker Issa Lopez, who delivered one of the creepiest experiences of the year. Starring Jodie Foster and Kali Reis as reluctant partners, these Alaskan police detectives set out to solve the mystery of eight men suddenly disappearing from a research station. Where the previous three seasons were described by the new showrunner as, “male and sweaty,” Lopez describes the fourth instalment as “cold, dark and female,” citing John Carpenter’s The Thing, Stanley Kubrick ’s The Shining and Ridley Scott ’s Alien as her inspiration. Foster won the Emmy award for outstanding lead actress for her performance, a role that she describes as “Alaska Karen.” We dare you not to be affected by what Lopez is trying to convey, even if you’re watching between your fingers. Crave (Stream)

Nobody Wants This

From the first weekend that Erin Foster’s romantic comedy series was released, everybody has wanted this: A now adult Veronica Mars’ Kristen Bell and The OC ’s Adam Brody portraying an agnostic podcast host and a young rabbi falling in love and forming the kind of complex, grown-up — and really funny — TV union you can truly root for, even if no one

True Detective: Night Country

onscreen thinks their relationship is a good idea. The series is loosely based on Foster’s own relationship with husband Simon Tikhman, for whom she converted to Judaism. Veep’s Timothy Simons and Succession’s Justine Lupe star as the duo’s scene-stealing siblings on a show that offers laugh-out-loud moments as well as heartfelt obstacles that we’re eager to see Noah and Joanne tackle. And the best news is, they shall tackle even more challenges when the show returns for a second season, hopefully in 2025. Netflix

Ripley

Anthony Minghella’s 1999 film, The Talented Mr Ripley, was thought to be the ultimate and singular adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s 1955 thriller, until Andrew Scott (Fleabag) stepped into the shoes of Tom Ripley. The petty white-collar criminal is hired by rich kid Dickie Greenleaf’s (Johnny Flynn) father to persuade his son to stop wasting time and money and come home. He accepts the assignment, taking his relationship with Dickie — as most fans

of either book or film know — too far. But this noir version, shot entirely in black and white by the cinematographer of There Will Be Blood, leans into the details of Ripley’s deceit, and if one has the patience for its slower burn, the reward is there in

the details. Scott and Dakota Fanning, who takes on the role of Marge Sherwood made famous by Gwyneth Paltrow, may not have taken home trophies at this year’s Emmys, but that makes them none the less deserving of the accolades. Netflix. ■

Charming Aussie comedy whodunit Darby and Joan returns for

DARBY AND JOAN

Monday, Acorn TV

s the weather continues to get colder in the Northern Hemisphere this winter, Acorn TV flips the script and begins heating things up from Down Under. That’s right: Darby and Joan is back for a second season of comedic romps around Australia while trying to solve a murder mystery.

In the very first episode of the show, which is set and filmed in Queensland, Australia, two unlikely characters meet while sharing a bad day. Joan Kirkhope (Greta Scacchi, Emma), a retired English nurse, has been travelling the outback alone in an RV, looking for clues that could help her make sense of her late husband’s

(John Waters, Offspring) mysterious death when Jack Darby (Bryan Brown, Cocktail), a strange but charming local, crosses her path in a way that would suggest the intervention of fate. As the two quite literally collide, flipping Darby’s truck over, Joan offers the man and his travel companion, a dog named Diesel, a lift. The pair soon come to realize they may be able to help one another.

As they get to know each other more during their ride back to safety, Darby, an ex-detective in the area, decides to put his investigative skills to good use to help Joan grapple with her feelings in the wake of her husband’s death. But, when a clue leads them to a beautiful waterside party and a suspicious death puts a stop to the festivities, the new friends have a new objective: investigate the event to

a SECOND SEASON

find the truth. Was the death an accident or a murder?

“I’m an Australian cop who’s running from a series of things that have happened to him and is trying

to get away from everything,” Brown told Boston Herald reporter Stephen Schaefer during a Zoom interview before the release of the premiere season. “They crash and have to share a ride together. I thought that was a very good combination of concept and characters. Here we are able to deal with a mystery and a couple of people who are mysterious in their own way.”

Throughout the first season, Darby and Joan learn more about each other while investigating additional cases, including a theft at a banana farm, a scuba dive sabotage, a potential arson, a missing person and an “ominous threat from [Darby]’s policing days” (per IMDb).

Now headed into its second season (or “series,” as is said in Australia and the U.K.), Darby and Joan have formed a bond that can be seen by everyone around them, including Darby’s ex-wife, who has arrived in town to conduct an investigation of her own. Unfortunately, Darby is her chief interest and she isn’t backing down without a fight.

The good news is that Joan discovered the answers she had been looking for with regard to her late husband at the end of the first season and cleared his name, so now she has all the time in the world to help her new best friend meet the same happy fate. It is also entirely possible that her friendship with Darby will evolve into a full-blown romance — something fans have been prepared for since the very first episode of the series aired in August 2022.

Created by Phillip Gwynne ( Australian Rules) and Glenys Rowe (The Castanet Club), the new season of Darby and Joan co-stars Melanie Zanetti (Bluey) as Arianna Malgeri, Alicia Gardiner (Deadloch) as Gillian Novak, Debra Lawrance (Please Like Me) as Anna Bairnsdale, Doris Younane (McLeod’s Daughters) as Yvette (last name unknown as of writing), Joel Pierce (Love and Monsters) as Greg Jones, Savanna Crasto (The Psychology of Beauty) as Pia Davies and Mackenzie Curtis (Rock Island Mysteries) as Jess Wright. It is also likely, although not confirmed, that Nudge and Kobe will return to share the role of Diesel.

The idea for Darby and Joan originated about a decade ago, according to CJZ CEO Matt Campbell, but if the title sounds familiar, that may be due to a much earlier source.

“The Joys of Love Never Forgot: A Song,” written by Henry Woodall and originally published in London’s The Gentleman’s Magazine in 1735, referred to “Old Darby, with Joan by his side,” and described the specific type of bliss that comes with aging peacefully alongside someone one cares for. By 1890, the poetic couple had been referenced in several works, including a double portrait titled Darby and Joan by British impressionist James Charles, and in an 1811 letter from Lord Byron to writer and educator Francis Hodgson.

Knowing the history of the character names certainly provides credence to the rumours that Jack Darby and Joan Kirkhope may be falling in love. But only time — and time dedicated to the show — will tell. ■

A Complete Unknown

STARRING: Timothée Chalamet, Edward Norton, Elle Fanning, Monica Barbaro

Timothée Chalamet stars as legendary singer-songwriter Bob Dylan in this biopic that charts the 19-year-old’s meteoric rise in the Greenwich Village folk music scene during the early 1960s. Recently arrived from Minnesota, Dylan captivates audiences at coffeehouses and then concert halls, lauded as “the voice of a generation.” As his songs top the charts and his carefully crafted mystique intrigues the world, he stirs up controversy by unleashing rock ’n’ roll in his groundbreaking electrified performance at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival. Also chronicled are his tumultuous romance with folk icon Joan Baez (Monica Barbaro) and the beginning of his long friendship with country music rebel Johnny Cash (Boyd Holbrook).

QWhat are the things that make dating harder as we get older, and what are the things that maybe make it easier?

AIn terms of what makes dating easier, I think people know themselves better than they do in their 20s. They have an easier time identifying what they want, and asking for it. There’s also less pressure around getting married. There’s no fertility timeline. Another thing is, there’s actually research from Match Group that shows people in their 60s are often experiencing better sex, because they know their bodies more, they know how to ask for what they want and they’re less likely to fake orgasms.

One thing that’s harder is you have more baggage. You just have a more complete life, you’ve set up your life the way you want — whether it’s how your fridge is set up or what time you set your alarm clock for . . . Then, when you meet someone new, it can feel harder to combine your lifestyles.

Q

Is there something that applies universally to daters of all ages?

A

My fundamental philosophy around that is: We’re born knowing how to love, but we’re not born knowing how to date. Dating is a skill and you can learn it at any age . . . But you have to actively choose to learn it.

[For example,] with Nate and also Anise, we talked about this idea of “leading with vulnerability.” They felt like there was [a flaw] about them that made them undateable, but actually that was something that was important to bring up early on, because it really helps people connect to you when you’re vulnerable and authentic — that’s

MEMORABLE ROLES:

Though raised in Boca Raton, Florida, Harvard grad Logan Ury actually has a close connection to our home and native land, courtesy of her Canadian mother. After leaving the Ivy League, Ury parlayed her expertise in psychology and behavourial science into a thriving career as a dating coach and author of the 2021 self-help book How to Not Die Alone. She’s also the director of relationship science for popular dating app Hinge.

CURRENT GIG:

what makes people feel ready to connect with us, not giving off this perception of being perfect . . .

It was really interesting, because I’d mostly worked with Gen Z and Millennial daters, and this was a chance to apply these lessons and research from the last 10 years to daters over 55. I’m very happy to see that a lot of the lessons are universal.

Q These Later Daters’ kids are very much in the mix as well, offering advice . . .

AYou’re really meeting people in the context of their families, in their actual home. It just brings an authentic view of what dating is like for everyone, but especially for older daters — where, of course, they’re a package deal with their family. And the role reversal of Suzanne’s daughter saying, “Good luck! Be safe! Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do!” — when else have you seen that? This is what modern dating looks like for older daters. Their kids are involved, and it’s beautiful that we get

to show that . . . If your mom was married for 30 years and is now a widow, and you’ve been on a lot of dates and she hasn’t, you are the “expert” in her life.

Q Do you often find yourself having to dispense a bit of “tough love?”

A I’m a fan of tough love. One of the gifts of coaching is saying to people things that their friends won’t say. That’s one of the roles I play with my coaching clients onand off-camera — really shining light on the blind spots that are holding them back.

Q Are you able to apply all of this expertise to your own relationships?

A

Most of my research in coaching is on helping people find a relationship; it’s on the dating aspect of things. If my husband were here, he might say, “She’s a dating expert, but she’s not a marriage expert!” [Laughs] I would probably agree with him. I encounter the same issues as anyone in a long-term relationship.

The powerhouse of energy and life-long vibrancy

What are mitochondria, and how do we spark them?

They are like very tiny powerplants that produce energy in every living cell in our bodies. On average, every cell has 1,500 mitochondria. Can you imagine that for their extremely small size, it’s been said that they produce, gram for gram, 10,000–50,000 times more energy than the sun?

To say that mitochondria are important to human health is grossly understating their role in our

survival. We literally would not be alive without them. They convert our food into energy, so that every other function of our body can occur as it needs to. As we age, our ability to create healthy mitochondria to support our energy demands diminishes. And because about 90% of our cellular energy is produced by mitochondria, this decline can cause significant health issues
