Oscar-winner Nicole Kidman stars as the matriarch of the wealthy Winbury family, who find themselves wrapped up in a murder mystery when a body turns up on the eve of their son's wedding.
Based on Elin Hilderbrand's 2018 novel of the same name, the vibe is a little bit "Big Little Lies," except this show opens with a choreographed group dance number set to a Meghan Trainor song. No, really.
For a drama with a bit more weight, tune into the new season of "Slow Horses."
Gary Oldman stars in "Slow Horses."
Apple TV+
"Slow Horses," another show starring an Oscar winner (this time, Gary Oldman), is back for its fourth season. The spy thriller, based on a series of books, is one of the best-reviewed shows of the year and not enough people are watching it.
For something a little more sexy and dark, "Tell Me Lies" is back.

The new FX series debuted earlier this week. It stars comedian Brian Jordan Alvarez as Evan Marquez, a gay high school teacher in Austin dealing with his students and coworkers.
The unscripted drama following realtors at the Oppenheim Group is as messy as ever in its eighth (!) season. (Plenty of drama was swirling before the new episodes had even premiered.)
For a new reality binge, check out "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives."

Remember Mormon #MomTok? Well, this show is about those Utah moms, their in-fighting, and that swinger drama that blew up on TikTok back in 2022. It stars controversial social media personalities like Taylor Frankie Paul and Whitney Leavitt.

Jenn Tran's season of "The Bachelorette" was historic as she became the franchise's first Asian lead. Unfortunately, her journey didn't end in love, but with a devastating live break-up. The brutal (and controversial) finale aired this week, with some unhappy fans feeling like the producers went too far in taking advantage of her heartbreak.
The survival show, where 16 competitors fight for a chance to win a million-dollar prize by braving the Alaskan wilderness, returns for a second season. The first batch of episodes in the new season is out now, with the second dropping on Wednesday, September 11.
