"An adaptation of the saucy novel by Julia May Jonas premiered this week, starring Rachel Weisz as an English professor who crushes hard—perhaps to a dangerous degree—on a young colleague in her department, played by Leo Woodall. The show starts off slow, but then proves strangely compelling."
"In a comedy special released last week, the thirty-nine-year-old comedian prances around the stage in a purple jumpsuit and sparkly red shoes, riffing on millennial-friendly topics such as Lin-Manuel Miranda and Fleet Foxes. What sets Fleming's comedy apart is the oddball physicality that he brings to his act."
"This week marked the Season 4 finale of the intense drama about young London bankers. Industry crackles with anything-can-happen energy, even when delivering what may be its most conventional season yet."
The New Yorker's television critic Inkoo Kang previously expressed pessimism about 2025 being the worst year for television in her career. Three months later, uncertainty remains about whether the industry will improve or if television's golden age has ended. The New Yorker's critics have been reviewing new releases, identifying both surprising hits and notable failures. The article presents ten recently reviewed shows to help viewers decide what to watch. Featured reviews include an adaptation of Julia May Jonas's novel starring Rachel Weisz, a comedy special by a thirty-nine-year-old comedian performing in distinctive physical comedy, and Season 4 of the drama series Industry, which maintains compelling energy despite conventional storytelling.
