On The Small Screen

LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE
Netflix
With nine original books and the much-beloved television series that aired for nine seasons from 1974-1983, “Little House on the Prairie” has captured the hearts of generations. Now the Laura Ingalls Wilder biographical saga of her life as a child as her family pioneered across the American frontier returns in a new series, revisiting the stories that have captivated audiences for generations. Luke Bracey and Crosby Fitzgerald star as the couple who venture into the prairie to make a new life, with Alice Halsey as young Laura and Skywalker Hughes as her sister Mary in this new look at an old favorite.

TED LASSO
Apple TV
It has taken three years for “Ted Lasso” to come back to tell more of Ted’s story, proving that waiting can be very tough on fans. But after the series garnered 61 Emmy Award nominations in just three seasons (and won 13 of the top TV prize), the creators took that long pause, it seems the world is as excited as ever to welcome Ted (Jason Sudekis) back to England and the world of crazed soccer fans and the players they adore. We love them all, too, and after watching the real-life Soccer World Cup this summer, this one’s sure to come back strong.

LANTERNS
HBO
This latest DC Comics Universe series stars Kyle Chandler as Green Lantern Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre as John Stewart, his superhero in training/rival for the green power ring. As the series unfolds, Jordan and his super ring are trying to solve a mystery that has engulfed a whole town, while Stewart plots how to take over as the newest (and much younger) Lantern. There’s action, violence and plenty of special effects in this series that keeps you guessing all along the way.

LUCKY
Apple TV
This wild crime drama centers on Lucky, a woman who has herself dug deep into a criminal morass that she’s trying to escape. As Lucky, Anya Taylor-Joy is basically on the run from the FBI, the cops and even her mother-in-law (Annette Bening), trying to make a big change in her life trajectory without getting herself killed. Timothy Olyphant, Clifton Collins Jr. and Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor round out the cast of this action-packed thriller.

RIDE OR DIE
Prime Video
Crime pays very well for Judith (Hannah Waddingham), an assassin who keeps that fact on the down low, particularly from her best friend Debbie (Octavia Spencer). But when things go bad during one of Judith’s assignments, the two have to go on the run. As mayhem (and some laughter, too) breaks loose, together they both find out about the things their BFF hasn’t mentioned along the way. This female buddy comedy also stars Bill Nighy, Sylvia Hoeks and Ed Skrein.
