"A loose follow-up to the U.S. version of The Office, The Paper tracks a new industry full of frustrations and petty grievances: journalism. Domhnall Gleeson plays Ned, the brand-new editor-in-chief of the Toledo Truth-Teller, a once-great newspaper that has withered in a changing media environment. Other than Oscar Nunez, who returns as accountant Oscar Martinez, this is a whole new cast, although the shooting style and the mood will remind you very much of the happenings at Dunder Mifflin."
"Task, started Sept. 7, HBO Max Yeah, it sounds predictable on paper: Mark Ruffalo as an aging, mediocre FBI agent leading a task force chasing a goofy guy played by Tom Pelphrey running a backwoods stickup crew outside Philadelphia. But the story is elevated by both men's struggle to handle devastating tragedies that damaged them and those they love. Add in spot-on accents that put Mare of Eastown to shame Eastown creator Brad Ingelsby made this one, too and you've got a subversively compelling series."
"The Girlfriend, Sept. 10 (out now), Prime Video Based on author Michelle Frances' psychological thriller, Robin Wright plays an uber-wealthy woman whose son brings home a new girlfriend, played by Olivia Cooke. Mom suspects the girlfriend's motivations are less than genuine, and maybe they're not or maybe mom's just being paranoid? Whatever's really going on here, it looks like no one is going to end up unscathed. Juicy! Aisha Harris"
