The biggies

MobLand (Paramount+, Sunday, 3:01 a.m.)

Guy Ritchie—who helmed last year’s pretty fun The Gentlemen—is one of the executive producers of MobLand, a new series in which a London crime family gets embroiled in a war with a rival clan and brings on a fixer (played by Tom Hardy) to protect them. The stacked ensemble boasts Helen Mirren, Paddy Considine, Pierce Brosnan, Joanne Froggatt, Mandeep Dhillon, and Janet McTeer.


Pulse (Netflix, Thursday, 3:01 a.m.)

In Pulse, Netflix’s first medical procedural, the employees of a Miami trauma center have to put personal dramas aside when a major hurricane approaches, including Dr. Dani Simms (Willa Fitzgerald), who recently filed an HR complaint against her boss (played by Colin Woodall). Justina Machado, Nestor Carbonell, Jessie T. Usher, Jack Bannon, and Jessie Yates round out the cast. Look for The A.V. Club‘s review of the show on Thursday.


Dying For Sex (FX on Hulu, Friday, 12:01 a.m.)

Michelle Williams leads FX’s limited series as Molly, who, after getting diagnosed with inoperable breast cancer, leaves her husband of 15 years (played by Jay Duplass) to go on sexual adventures. The cast of the dramedy features Jenny Slate, Rob Delaney, Kelvin Yu, and Sissy Spacek. Check out The A.V. Club‘s review.

The Last Anniversary (AMC+, Sunday, 3:01 a.m.)

Based on a book by Big Little Lies author Liane Moriarty, The Last Anniversary centers on Sophie (Teresa Palmer), who heads to a small island where she inherited a home.

Nimesh Patel: Instant Karma (Netflix, Tuesday, 3:01 a.m.)

The Bondsman (Prime Video, Thursday, 3:01 a.m.)

Kevin Bacon goes to hell and back in The Bondsman, which was loosely inspired by the ’90s series Brimstone, portraying a deceased bounty hunter who is sent to Earth by Lucifer to retrieve a demonic element.

Devil May Cry (Netflix, Thursday, 3:01 a.m.)
