As the chill of winter sets in, there’s nothing quite like curling up on the couch with a warm blanket and a great show to escape the cold. But here’s where it gets exciting: this week’s lineup is packed with premieres, returns, and holiday surprises that promise to keep you entertained for hours. From gripping dramas to heartwarming documentaries and festive rom-coms, there’s something for everyone—though not everyone will agree on which one’s the best. And this is the part most people miss: the mix of genres and platforms means you’ll never run out of options, no matter your mood.
Here’s a breakdown of what’s hitting your screens this week:
1. Landman (Paramount+ | Sunday, November 16)
Another brainchild of Taylor Sheridan, the second season of this drama stars Billy Bob Thornton, Ali Larter, and Demi Moore. Controversial take: While Sheridan’s shows are often praised for their gritty realism, some argue they’re starting to feel formulaic. What do you think—fresh or overdone?
2. The American Revolution (PBS | Sunday, November 16)
Ken Burns, Sarah Botstein, and David Schmidt bring us a 12-hour, six-part documentary on the American Revolution. But here’s the twist: Will it offer new insights, or will it retread familiar ground? History buffs, this one’s for you—and we’re eager to hear your take.
3. Selena y Los Dinos (Netflix | Monday, November 17)
