In 2016, Dan Fogelman introduced the world to the Big Three in This Is Us. The ensemble series opens with Jack Pearson (Milo Ventimiglia) celebrating his 36th birthday. His wife, Rebecca (Mandy Moore), goes into labor with triplets. Meanwhile, Kate (Chrissy Metz) is celebrating her birthday at a support group for people trying to lose weight.

Then there’s Randall (Sterling K. Brown), a successful businessman working to raise his two daughters with his wife, Beth (Susan Kelechi Watson). These people are connected, but you’ll need to watch the pilot for more answers. After the pilot, you’ll understand why so many people fell in love with This Is Us, a heartwarming family-friendly show with characters you’ll care about.

Eve Polastri (Sandra Oh) is an MI5 analyst who craves action. Unfortunately, Eve’s thrill-seeking attitude leads to a witness dying under her watch, leading to her firing from MI5. However, Carolyn Martens (Fiona Shaw), head of the Russia Section of MI6, appreciates Eve’s tenacity and invites her to work in their undercover division. Carolyn needs Eve’s help tracking Villanelle (Jodie Comer), a ruthless assassin who works for a secret organization called The Twelve.

Villanelle has executed many high-profile murders across Europe, and Carolyn has been tasked with bringing her down. Eve becomes obsessed with finding Villanelle, so much so that it becomes an attraction. Surprisingly, Villanelle admires Eve for her resilience. Based on the Villanelle novel series by Luke Jennings, Killing Eve is a sexy, addictive cat-and-mouse thriller with two standout performances by Oh and Comer.

Tires (2024-)

Is there a hotter comedian in Hollywood than Shane Gillis? After being fired from Saturday Night Live, Gillis hit the stand-up scene, touring all over America and building a following. Gillis then bet on himself and created Tires, a comedy series he co-created with Steve Gerben and John McKeever. The gamble paid off, as Netflix bought the series for distribution.

Tires follows the employees at the auto-repair chain, “Valley Forge Automotive Center.” Will (Gerben), the manager of Valley Forge, is always on edge as he fights to turn the business around. What doesn’t help Will’s anxiety is his vile cousin, Shane (Gillis). Tires emphasizes laughs over plot, so fans looking for multiple hilarious moments will enjoy Gillis’ sitcom.

Intelligent, thought-provoking television is a good way to stimulate your brain while engaging in a passive activity. But let's be honest: sometimes, after a long day, we just want to turn our brains off for an hour. That's where reality shows come in. These guilty pleasures are fun, exciting, and sometimes ridiculous. Some are more enthralling than others, and not every show features dating, elaborate obstacle courses, or silly competitions. Some reality shows are actually heartwarming and inspirational.

Netflix has plenty of content in this genre, and we have looked through its library and spent hours watching to bring you this comprehensive list of the best reality shows streaming on Netflix right now. The selection represents many reality shows, from intense racing and surving in the wilderness to testing the human body and finding love.

November is a prime month for moviegoing. The Thanksgiving holiday offers a great opportunity for studios to release their fall tentpole pictures and for audiences to watch as many films as possible. This year is no different as blockbusters-to-be like Gladiator 2 and Wicked are waiting in the wings to dazzle eyeballs and gobble some dollars.

It's not all big movies in November, though. Oscar hopefuls and under-the-radar movies populate the release schedule, and the following three films have the potential to be not only entertaining, but also some of the year's best in cinema.
