📺 This TV Week’s Watchlist:

From Peacock:

• 🎬 The Day of the Jackal – Season 1, Episodes 1–3 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

No spoilers!

I’ve been under the weather this week—caught a summer cold and wrote about it. Since I’ve been off work since Wednesday and mostly napping, I dove into a couple of series. This one’s on Peacock, and since I’m canceling the service in July, I’ve got to finish it before then.

That said—this show is really good. I’ve watched the first three episodes, and I have to say: the English seriously know how to make television. Right now, it's better than 98% of what’s coming out of the U.S.—with one exception I'll get to next. Eddie Redmayne is excellent in this, and all the characters are genuinely interesting. 🎬

From Prime Video:

• 🎬 The Chosen – Season 5, Episode 1 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“No spoilers” doesn’t quite apply here—after all, it's based on the Bible.

This season is diving into what I’d call fulfillment, sacrifice, and redemption. The casting is spot-on, and while I know not every detail is historically or biblically precise, the spirit and themes are respectfully portrayed. The creators, actors, and entire team are doing an outstanding job, and this is currently my favorite show. I’m glad they’re aiming for seven seasons—I’m especially curious how they’ll depict their take on Revelations. 🎬
