It’s a lean month for new original content on HBO/Max. November will see the return of two scripted series in Julia and Rap Sh!t, both of which are debuting their respective second seasons, but this month’s fresh highlight is likely to be Bookie, a new comedy series from the partnership of The Big Bang Theory creator Chuck Lorre, and Nick Bakay. The show tracks an LA bookie called Danny (Sebastian Maniscalco), whose business is in peril as California movies to legalize sports gambling.
Elsewhere in November, there quite a few interesting documentaries to keep an eye on, and two that jump out as “must watch”. The first is Albert Brooks: Defending My Life, which chronicles the aging comedian’s life and career. The second is the previously-released Little Richard: I Am Everything, which tries to peel back the whitewashed canon of Richard Penniman in a true...

To cap off a particularly dreadful year, 2020 has given us so much holiday content you could theoretically spend all of December only watching people slip on ugly Christmas sweaters while welcoming the spirit of the season. From new and easy to binge shows like Netflix's Dash & Lily to a roster of uplifting movies led by LGBTQ+ characters (Happiest Season is a must watch), the options are just plain good. And for the second year in a row, OWN is getting in on the action with a new lineup. E! News has an exclusive sneak peek at A Christmas For Mary, the first from their slate to premiere. Starring Vivica A. Fox and Sister, Sister alum Jackée Harry, the movie follows upcoming journalist Lena Jones (Being Mary...
