Welcome to What’s On, our weekly picks of must-watch shows. Here’s what you need to watch from Sunday, December 3 to Thursday, December 7. All times are Eastern. [Note: The weekend edition of What’s On drops on Fridays.]
The biggies
Frasier (Paramount+, Thursday, 3:01 a.m.)
And just like that, Frasier’s reboot ends—at least for now. The surprisingly good Paramount+ comedy wraps up with its first season finale, “Reindeer Games.” In its new iteration, the series follows Dr. Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammar) after he returns to Boston to connect with his adult son, Frederick (Jack Cutmore-Scott). He starts a new chapter in life with help from his family and new friends at work. (Oh yeah, he’s a Harvard professor now.) The show brought back several favorites from Grammer’s original series, including Roz Doyle (Peri Gilpin) and Lilith Sternin (Bebe Neuwirth).
My Life With The Walter Boys (Netflix, Thursday, 3:01 a.m.)
Based on Ali Novak’s 2014 YA novel, My Life With The Walter Boys follows orphaned teen Jackie Howard (Nikki Rodriguez), who has to move from her elite Manhattan home to a Colorado farm to live with her guardians, Katherine (Sarah Rafferty) and George Walter (Mark Blucas). The real twist? They have 10 kids, and, as the title suggests, they’re all boys. The season chronicles Jackie’s struggle to adapt and the love triangle that could blow up everything.
Hidden gems
