NEW THIS WEEK
The Bear Serves Its Final Course

Friday, June 19

• ★ Voicemails for Isabelle (Netflix — new original rom-com)
  Kelsey’s Pick: As if I wasn’t already in love with Nick Robinson—pair him with the endlessly charming Zoey Deutch, and this is an easy one to recommend. It may lean a bit predictable, but the premise feels fresh and layered enough to keep you invested.

• Sugar (Apple TV — season 2 premiere)

Sunday, June 21

• House of the Dragon (HBO — season 3 premiere)

• The Agency (Paramount+ — season 2 premiere)

Monday, June 22

• Sullivan’s Crossing (The CW — season 4 finale)

Tuesday, June 23

• Not Suitable for Work (Hulu — new comedy from Mindy Kaling, episodes 8-9)

Wednesday, June 24

• ★ The Other Bennet Sister (BritBox — season 1 finale)
  Kelsey’s Pick: For the period-piece crowd: this one follows Mary Bennet—the overlooked, less glamorous sister of the five, as she steps firmly into her main-character era. Charming, funny, and beautifully heartfelt.

• A Woman of Substance (BritBox — new historical drama series)

Thursday, June 25

• ★ The Bear (Hulu — season 5, binge drop)
  Kelsey’s Pick: With 20+ Emmys under its belt, The Bear hardly needs my endorsement—but here we are. Heading into its fifth and final season, I can’t wait to see what they’ve cooked up to bring it all home.

• Welcome to Wrexham (Hulu — season 5 finale)

Friday, June 26

• Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness (HBO — comedy sketches exploring various historical moments with Larry David)

• Sugar (Apple TV — season 2, episode 2)

• Cape Fear (Apple TV — thriller miniseries, episode 5)
