Yellowjackets is a Showtime original that is one part survival thriller and one part psychological horror. In 1996, a plane crashes and leaves a high school girls' soccer team stranded in the Canadian wilderness for over 18 months. We follow the young Yellowjackets as they are faced with making life altering choices, including cannibalism. More than 25 years later, the Yellowjackets remaining reunite to try and stop the past from returning. Unfortunately for them - they are their own worst enemy.

'Ozark' season 4 part 1 follows Jason Bateman (Marty Byrde) as he tries to get out from under his debt to the drug cartel and Laura Linnie (Wendy Byrde) as she tries to create a legitimate economic and political empire. We argue the season 4 show runners misunderstood what audiences loved about their 'Ozark' characters by filling season 4 up with plot instead of personal stakes.

'Licorice Pizza' is sold as a slice of life story about an odd friendship set in San Fernando Valley, California. However, we argue that writer and director Paul Thomas Anderson is subverting the 'Coming of Age' story arc with this future Oscar nominee. We follow Alana Haim and Cooper Hoffman as they embark on many adventures and find themselves in the same space with powerful people, such as Bradley Cooper, Sean Penn, and Bennie Safdie.
