After NYFW, our team was ready to binge a few shows just to get back to our normally scheduled program of sorts! We found ourselves enthralled in Black Rabbit which dropped this month! The brother duo we didn’t know we needed, drew us into restaurateurs, crime, and a dark and gritty series. When we meet Jake Friedken (Jude Law), we know that he is a rising restaurateur with a successful restaurant, plans to take on NYC’s dining scene and he knows all the right people. As the series continues, his need to help his brother Vince Friedken (Jason Bateman) we learn that he lives a completely different life that is not only dangerous but continues to generate more complications!

As they continue to work together, we learn about why they were estranged from one another and how far one will go to protect their family!

If you’re not currently watching S5 of Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building, we don’t know what to say! We return to the Arconia where murders continue to happen and we pick up right where S4 left off. We don’t want to give any spoilers away, but suffice it to say that a beloved character was killed last season. Our lovel true crime podcasters once again come together in order to find out who did it, why and how it is all connected. Of course, along the way, they find out more secrets of what has been taking place in the building practically in plain sight!

As they also increase their presence for their podcast, Mabel (Selena Gomez), Oliver (Martin Short), and Charles (Steve Martin) continues to find out how they can maintain their friendship as things continue to change around them! Make sure to also listen/watch the companion podcast as well.

We’ve been enjoying The Chinatown Sting where we are introduced to a group of women during the late 1980’s that enjoy playing mahjong in NYC’s Chinatown. Who knew this game amongst the community would lead to a massive undercover drug bust?

But this drug bust was not an isolated event. Host Lidia Jean Kott and co-reporter Shuyu Wang investigate the events that led to this as well as the repercussions that still exist to this day. The episodes have interview sources who have never talked before, but now are sharing on the record from witnesses, defendants, and federal prosecutors. This is definitely a true crime case that will have you putting the pieces together while you listen.

ELIZABETH TAYLOR: THE LOST

TAPES

HBO Documentary

HBO + MAX

We enjoy a great documentary and in HBO's Elizabeth Taylor: The Lost Tapes we got to hear from this stunning star herself via taped interviews where she talked about insights into major moments in her life, and how she approached living her life as a star that was constantly in the spotlight with her films, relationships, and advocacy.

These tapes give the raw and unfiltered thoughts of Elizabeth Taylor. In addition, we have access to videos and pictures that allow us to have a better understanding of who she was and how people that were close to her felt about her.

ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUIDLING

If you have yet to catch up on the previous seasons of Hulu's Only Murders in the Building, now is the time to do so as S4 just kicked off on Aug 27th. Our favorite true crime trio is always in the thick of solving some sort of a crime and this season is bound to be no different! As they solve their cases, they let us in on their podcast, those that they interact with, and notable areas on the UWS!

We're excited to see not only those who have come into the series from earlier seasons, but additional guest stars that will make their debut in this one.

After each episode, you should also check out the OMITB Companion Podcast to know more about each episode and to hear the theories that come up!

EMILY IN PARIS

Netflix Series

Netflix

Like many of you, we couldn't wait to binge the first half of S4 of Netflix's Emily in Paris! We pick up where S3 left off. Who doesn't love seeing Emily (Lily Collins) and her friends navigating their lives, love triangles, clients, and more with Paris as a backdrop? Of course, in addition to seeing all of that, the amount of outfits that become scene stealers, is always another reason to watch this show. Part I dropped on Aug 15th and the remainder of S4 will be released on Sept 12th.

If you're like us, you're wondering how it will all play out and you'll begin thinking about what's on deck for S5 or will rewatch all the seasons for the perfect escapism on your next long weekend!
