Pluribus to All's Fair: the seven best shows to stream this week
"Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan returns with a gripping, funny, bleak, bewildering head-spinner of a series.It begins with a mysterious communication from outer space. On the face of it, it seems to contain answers to many of humanity's problems. Great news, right? If you are one of the few people across the world seemingly immune to this zombified bliss, not so much."
"This dysfunctional rich people drama follows two rival law firms as they tussle over the divorces of LA's elite. It's blazingly camp and deals in the affairs of musclebound jocks, creepy sugar daddies and women whose faces have been Botoxed to sleep. But it also contains an entertaining turn from Sarah Paulson as comically aggressive attorney Carrington Lane, plus a chance to ponder the (limited) acting chops of Kim Kardashian."
"Robin Hood A cheerfully romanticised romp (from left) Lauren McQueen as Marian, Lydia Peckham as Priscilla and Sean Bean as Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood. Photograph: Aleksandar Letic/MGM+ Another take on England's favourite forest-dwelling revolutionary, this one stars Jack Patten as Rob and Sean Bean as his villainous nemesis, the Sheriff of Nottingham. It's a comparatively deep dive into character and backstory we first meet Robert of Locksley as he learns archery from his father, who is subsequently executed by the sheriff."
Pluribus begins with a mysterious communication from outer space that appears to contain answers to many of humanity's problems, producing a zombified bliss across much of the population. A few people remain immune, including Carol Sturka, a cranky writer of extremely successful historical romances who reluctantly preserves human cynicism. The series blends dark humour, oddball surrealism and existential horror and stars Rhea Seehorn; it arrives on Apple TV on 7 November. All's Fair chronicles rival LA law firms fighting elite divorces in a camp, satirical tone featuring Sarah Paulson and Kim Kardashian on Disney+ from 4 November. A new Robin Hood retelling focuses on backstory and radicalisation.
