New Movies & Shows To Stream This Weekend: Black Doves, It Gets Worse, Awkwafina: The Unlikely Cook, and more
The complete second season of the British spy thriller Black Doves arrives on Netflix this week if you’re looking for a great weekend binge. The Keira Knightley-led show will feature some new faces this season including Neve Campbell, Ambika Mod and Babou Ceesay. Also out this week is the new Paramount+ series It Gets Worse, another British show, although this one is lighter in tone. Leo Reich, who appeared in the Netflix series Too Much, is the show’s star and creator. And on Apple TV, check out Awkwafina as she explores her heritage and attempts to learn a new skill in Awkwafina: The Unlikely Cook. The show premieres Friday and new episodes will arrive weekly.
New on Netflix November 5: Black Doves
In Black Doves, Keira Knightley stars as Helen Webb, the wife of a British politician who steals government secrets for a mercenary organization. This season, Helen, along with her friend Sam (Ben Whishaw, the most gentle-voiced assassin you ever did see) is still living her dangerous double life, but the stakes are even higher as her husband is about to become Prime Minister.
New on Paramount+ November 6: It Gets Worse
British comedian Leo Reich created the new sit-com It Gets Worse which is arriving to Paramount+ this week. The six-episode series, about a trio of London roommates whose personal lives are in shambles, will feature a cavalcade of celebrity guest stars including Andrew Scott, Lena Dunham and Amelia Dimoldenberg, and Zadie Smith serves as the show’s narrator.
Awkwafina, a.k.a. Nora Lum, comes from a family known for their cooking, as they ran the celebrated Queens restaurant Lum’s in Flushing, Queens, and yet Awkwafina never learned how to cook herself. In the new Apple TV series Awkwafina: The Unlikely Cook, the actress-comedian takes a road trip where she learns from some of the top chefs in the country and gets in touch with her roots.
