"Queens" isn't the typical wildlife documentary from National Geographic. This time, a female-led company produced a series that focuses on "female power in the natural world."

Narrated by Angela Bassett, the 7-part series "begins March 4 on the National Geographic channel and streams on Disney+ and Hulu beginning March 5.

In this week's episode of Streamed & Screened, co-host Bruce Miller talks about the series, in particular the seventh episode that focuses on the production team. He also has an interview with Sophie Darlington and Faith Musembi from the series.

Next week: We preview the Oscars. Will "Oppenheimer" keep rolling through awards season?

With the two Hollywood strikes in the rearview mirror, there are a lot of new programs to keep us entertained.

The latest limited series from FX, which will also stream on Hulu, is "Shōgun," which is based on the 1975 novel that was also turned into a 1980 miniseries. This week, co-host Bruce Miller talks with Cosmo Jarvis, who stars in the series.

After that, co-host Terry Lipshetz shares his thoughts on three programs: "Masters of the Air" from Apple TV+ and "True Detective: Night Country" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" on HBO.

"Masters of the Air" is the latest World War II epic limited series from Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman, who previously brought us "Band of Brothers" and "The Pacific" and does not disappoint.

"True Detective: Night Country" is the fourth installment in the "True Detective" anthology series that has been a bit uneven at times, particularly season 2. But the latest season, which stars Jodie Foster and Kalie Reis, is a bit tighter with only six episodes and leaves you guessing until the end.

"Curb Your Enthusiasm" recently returned for its 12th and final season. How will Larry David wrap up a show that has stretched nearly a quarter century?

Call it a working vacation. Bruce Miller is back from Los Angeles after a gathering for the Television Critics Association. The journey took him to a variety of sets, including "Abbott Elementary," "9/11" and "Night Court."

Miller shares his experience singing a duet with Jennifer Hudson — yes, that Jennifer Hudson — as well an an interview with Montana Jordan, who plays George "Georgie" Cooper Jr. We include some of that interview with Jordan, who talks about the role and future of the character.

Clarification

In talking about singer Bobi Wine, the subject of the documentary "Bobi Wine: The People's President," co-host Terry Lipshetz mentioned other musicians who entered into politics. Singer Youssou N'Dour was the former Minister of Tourism for his native Senegal. Midnight Oil frontman Peter Garrett served in a variety of government roles after being elected as a member of Australia's parliament.

Since the Hollywood strikes slowed production, much of what normally would've made up the fall television season has slowly been debuting since the start of the near year.

The list of returning shows includes favorites like "Grey's Anatomy," "The Good Doctor," "Young Sheldon" and "Blue Bloods."

"Masters of the Air," which recently debuted on AppleTV+, is from Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman, who were the producers of "Band of Brothers" and "The Pacific."

And the latest season of "True Detective" is about halfway through its run on HBO. "True Detective: Night Country" stars Jodie Foster and Kali Reis.

Co-hosts Bruce Miller and Terry Lipshetz discuss those programs and more, including the Candian comedy "Son of a Critch" that has made its way to American audiences via The CW. Miller has an interview with star and creator Mark Critch.
