The US Open has kicked off here in NYC and when it comes to one of the greats, it’s Novak Djokovic. In the documentary, Novak Djokovic: The Wolf in Winter, we see his iconic rise as he plays tennis. But we also see how he juggles between the tragedies that took place in home country of Serbia, the belief his family had as well as the lengths that they would go to bring him to global stages, and how he has mastered being such a force on the courts for all of these years!

While we attended week 1 of the US Open, he shared in the press room that he would be interested in potentially sharing more of his story in a serialized format. We hope so!

Travis Barker is an incredible drummer and producer that has lent his talents to Blink 182, super bands as well as working across genres. He defintiely showcases how in many ways music and the way he plays it is a sport all of its own!

In Travis Barker: Louder Than Fear, we get to know how he came to music, literally drumming to his own beat, having great voices in music giving their thoughts about him, the highs and lows of his life, his plane accident, and how he has bounced back from it by flying again in the last few years!

We also see aspects of his personal life, kids, and the various businesses that he is involved in.

HBO Max

We love seeing our favorite comic books in a new way and in DC Studios’ Lanterns, they do exactly that! In this series, we get to watch Green Lantern legend Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) and fresh recruit John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) as two intergalactic cops that are brought into an immersive and dark, Earth-based mystery.

Whether you follow the comic books or are new to the universe, this series feels like a True Detective vibe while providing Easter Eggs and hat tips to characters that have yet to be revealed who are also known characters in this universe!

In addition to watching this show, we highly suggest that you watch/listen to the companion podcast Lanterns The Official Podcast hosted by Juju Green.

THE BEAUTY

FX Original

What is the price of being undeniably beautiful, hot, and desirable? If you could take a supplement or dose, would you? If it meant that that beauty may ultimately bring you closer to death, is it worth it? The Beauty looks at a string of supermodel deaths that take place in fashion’s global destinations. They seem to be connected, but how is difficult to say and as the investigation continues, they realize that there are a number of powers that be that are involved! You should also watch their companion podcast, The Beauty Official Podcast to get more details on each episode of this series.

THE NIGHT MANAGER

Prime Original

Prime

If you’re looking at a gripping thriller that checks off all the boxes, a phenomenal cast, stunning locations, well dressed people, and constantly questioning who is involved in the various acts of espionage, then The Night Manager is a must watch. If you have yet to check it out, you need to binge S1 where we first meet Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston) in his hotel where he is a night manager. It’s a fateful encounter that ultimately changes his life’s path and brings him to being the ultimate spy!

S2 catches up with him 10 years later and interestingly enough, S1 launched in 2016 and now the current season which is streaming now kicked off a few days after the New Year. We catch up with him firmly in his role as a spy working with agencies on new and old missions! We see how the past is still unresolved and continues to be a threat. We also move to a new location to see him bring justice for those that he has lost as well as those that are in the cross hairs of a villain that he knows all too well!

A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN

KINGDOMS

HBO Original Podcast

HBO

Fans of Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon have a new series that brings us to Westeros for us to enjoy, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, which just launched earlier this month. We follow a hedge knight who is finding his way in the world along with his young squire in this prequel to the flagship show. In many ways, this series lets us see elements of the families that we will come to know while also looking at what is taking place in other areas of Westeros, and how these communities grew into what we know today.

There is more humor in these episodes as they are more light hearted as we see how knights train, the countryside and so much more. After each show, you can watch and/or listen to the companion podcast which provides more insights into each episode along with interviews from an array of those who are in front of, as well as behind the camera.
