But if you aren\u2019t yet, now is the time to start watching. Starring Matthew Rhys (\u201cThe Americans\u201d), the show is set on a charming island that just so happens to be cursed. It\u2019s original, funny, and nails the balance of laughs and scares.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s got a stamp of approval from genre king Guillermo del Toro, who wrote on X: \u201c#WidowsBay may very well be the best streaming series in a long time\u2026 and hands down one of the most mesmerizing acts of narrative prestidigitation in Horror.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Where to watch: AppleTV+.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Alfred Molina (pictured) stars in \u201cThe Boroughs\u201d from the Duffer Brothers.  <span class=\"credit\">COURTESY OF NETFLIX<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Molina (pictured in \u201cThe Borroughs\u201d) stars as a member of a retirement community who gets ensnared in a sci-fi plot.  <span class=\"credit\">\u00a9Netflix\/Courtesy Everett Collection<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cThe Boroughs\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Produced by The Duffer Brothers (from \u201cStranger Things\u201d), this is a sci-fi adventure with boomer characters.

Of course, fake feelings turn real. It\u2019s a lighthearted frothy college story, but it also deftly handles Hannah and Garrett both having significant trauma in their lives.\u00a0It\u2019s already been renewed for a Season 2, which will follow their more free-spirited friends, Dean (Stephen Kalyn) and Allie (Mika Abdalla). <\/p>\n<p>Where to watch: Prime Video.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Tatiana Maslany (pictured in \u201cMaximum Pleasure Guaranteed\u201d) stars in the wild dark comedy crime show.  <span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of Apple<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Tatiana Maslany (pictured in in \u201cMaximum Pleasure Guaranteed,\u201d) plays a frazzled mom who gets involved in a blackmail \/ murder plot.  <span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of Apple<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cMaximum Pleasure Guaranteed\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This dark crime comedy is wild, funny, and suspenseful.

The cast includes Jake Johnson as her sour ex-husband, and \u201cThe White Lotus\u201d star Murray Bartlett. <\/p>\n<p>The story is full of unexpected turns, and it\u2019s impossible to tell where the gonzo plot is going.\u00a0The show is underrated, and it should be on more people\u2019s radars. <\/p>\n<p>Where to watch: AppleTV+\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Richard Coyle and Indira Varma in \u201cThe Other Bennet Sister.\u201d  <span class=\"credit\">\u00a9Britbox\/Courtesy Everett Collection<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Laurie Davidson (pictured in \u201cThe Other Bennet Sister\u201d) is part of a love triangle.  <span class=\"credit\">\u00a9Britbox\/Courtesy Everett Collection<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cThe Other Bennet Sister\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>What was the \u201cboring\u201d sister Mary, doing in \u201cPride and Prejudice\u201d while Elizabeth was getting her love story with Mr. Darcy?

Elizabeth, Darcy, and the famous characters from the well-known story are on the margins of this plot, while side character Mary (Ella Bruccoleri) takes center stage. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a well-done period piece, a show where the shy academic girl gets ensnared in a love triangle.
