Fleishman is in trouble (Disney+ February 22)


Fleishman is in trouble has received mixed reviews in the US, but has not stopped The New Yorker from still writing 8,000 characters about actor Claire Danes' (Homeland) portrayal of female midlife crisis.  

Danes plays the wife of the titular Toby Fleishman (Jesse Eisenberg) and the series begins with her sudden disappearance.

He is left with the children and begins to dig into the past to understand what went wrong.

Why do we look forward to it?

Because Claire Danes is always magnetic and to see what caused the charismatic Lizzy Caplan to miss filming season three of the cult comedy series Party Down.

Yellowjackets Season 2 (SkyShowtime 23 March)


Last year's best and most exciting series!

A soccer team of young girls crashes in the wilderness and is forced to live out a Lord of the Flies scenario in a forest that seems haunted by ancient and dark gods.  

25 years later, four of the surviving women, now adults, have tried to forget the horrible thing that happened in the forest.

But the uncanny, it turns out, hasn't forgotten them. 

90s icons Juliette Lewis and Christina Ricci together with Melanie Lynskey carry this series on their shoulders and not since Twin Peaks at least have I been so eager to get the solution to all the mysteries. 

Why do we look forward to it?

Two out of three of Kulturnyheterna's television critics named Yellowjackets as last year's best series.

And it has an unusual one hundred percent on the critics site Rotten Tomatoes. 

The Weeknd is not an uninteresting figure - we know that as we have followed his artist career for many years.

Now we'll see if he's as interesting as a series creator.

The Idol (HBO Max Spring 2023)


Lily Rose-Depp (yes, she's the daughter of Jonny Depp and Vanessa Paradis) plays a pop star on the verge of a breakthrough who enlists the help of a self-help guru/cult leader, played by Abel "The Weeknd" Tesfaye.  

The Idol is created by Tesfaye in collaboration with Sam Levinson, who is behind the hit series and youth favorite Euphoria.
