This Week on Screens: Taylor & Ted

It’s a slow week for premieres and finales but there is a very good second-season premiere to look forward to.

Sunday

Landman (Paramount+) — The most popular Taylor Sheridan series outside of Yellowstone returns for its second season today. It’s sometimes good. It’s sometimes bad. But it’s usually entertaining. It’s one of three Taylor Sheridan series airing tonight, including Mayor of Kingstown and Tulsa King.

IT: Welcome to Derry, The Chair Company, I Love LA (HBO Max) — Not the strongest Sunday night lineup for HBO Max.

Monday

St. Denis Medical — The sophomore effort of the series is improving on an already good first season.

DMV — Not a great comedy, but a serviceable one if you’re looking for a quick 22-minute watch.

Tuesday

Dancing with the Stars — The resurgent realiy competition series heads into its semifinals, alas without Andy Richter.

Wednesday

The Morning Show — Things have finally gotten interesting as Alex tries to bring Bradley home and Marion Cotillard’s character has gone full villain.

The Murdaugh Murders — A very good true crime series heads into Alex Murdaugh’s trial in the season finale. Spoiler: He’s guilty as hell.

Thursday

A Man on the Inside (Netflix) — Michael Schur never misses, returning with the second season of the Ted Danson series.

Friday

Pluribus (Apple TV+) — Good show. You should watch it.

Frontier (Apple TV+) — Not a gret show. Don’t bother.

Maxton Hall (Prime Video) — Such a delightful series, even if it is a German-speaking show that takes place in the UK.

Stumble (NBC) — It’s inexplicably buried on a Friday night, but this is probably the best comedy on network television at the moment (and yes, that includes Abbott Elemntary).

Wicked: For Good (In Theaters) — It’s looking like a $160+ million opening, likely the best opening weekend of the year.

Rental Family (In Theaters) — The Brendan Fraser dramedy is hoping to get some Wicked spillover.
