10 of the best TV shows to watch this November
From an all-star legal drama starring Kim Kardashian, to Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan's new sci-fi series, and the fifth and final season of Netflix's Stranger Things.
Rachel Sennott, who gained a following as the star of the comic films Shiva Baby and Bottoms (which she co-wrote) is the creator and star of this series about a group of friends who reunite in Los Angeles, whether some of them like it or not. HBO Max's official description is "An ambitious friend group navigates life and love in LA," which is about as helpful as saying "Some people got up and ate breakfast", but we do know that Sennott plays Maia and that Josh Hutcherson (The Hunger Games) is her boyfriend, Dylan. And as the trailer reveals, Maia is not happy when her old friend Tallulah (Odessa A'zion, who is in the forthcoming Timothée Chalamet film Marty Supreme) turns up. Based on Sennott's previous work, we can expect that to lead to some sharp and sometimes silly humour. Leighton Meester and Elijah Wood are among the guest stars.
I Love LA premieres 2 November on HBO Max
Kim Kardashian stars in producer Ryan Murphy's latest series as a divorce lawyer who leaves a male-dominated firm to start her own all-female company. In reality, Kardashian recently completed a law-school alternative course of study. So far so meta. This wouldn't be a Murphy series without a lot more glamour and melodrama than real life, though, and All's Fair seems a lot like his Feud franchise, full of backbiting and delicious snark. Murphy has called on an all-star cast, many along with Kardashian (American Horror Story) familiar from his other shows, including Naomi Watts (Feud: Capote vs the Swans) and Sarah Paulson (another American Horror Story). Glenn Close and Niecy Nash-Betts play members of the new firm, and Brooke Shields and Jennifer Jason-Leigh guest star as clients. The characters have soap-opera-ready names like Allura, Liberty, Emerald and Carrington, and the most striking wardrobes and longest nails in the legal profession. Murphy really knows how to work his formula: the show's trailer has had more than 44 million hits on YouTube in just a few weeks.
All's Fair premieres 4 November on Hulu in the US and Disney in the UK
Sarah Snook, far from her role as the conniving Shiv in Succession, plays Marissa Irvine, the successful owner of a finance company and mother of a five-year-old. She arrives to pick him up from a play date, but she seems to have been given a wrong address, and little Milo is nowhere to be seen. That is the start of this mysterious series, which has enough fault, guilt and suspicion to cover its many characters. Jake Lacy plays Marissa's husband, Peter, and Abby Elliott (The Bear) and Daniel Monks are his siblings. Dakota Fanning plays the mother who supposedly set up the play date but says she never did, and Jay Ellis is Marissa's business partner. This is not the kind of show that questions Marissa's sanity. Instead, episode by episode, a different member of this close-knit circle stands out as suspicious. Michael Peña plays a detective on the case, who in an enticing early flash-forward looks at photographs of the whole group and says, "I honestly didn't see this coming. These nice people killing each other."
All Her Fault premieres 6 November on Peacock in the US, and on 7 November on Sky and NOW in the UK
It's fair to say that James Garfield is among the least-known US presidents, (I'm American and I couldn't tell you a thing about him). He........
