Space Force (Netflix)
2
Despite the talents of Steve Carell, John Malkovich and Ben Schwartz, this sci-fi comedy about a stellar new branch of the US military never took off.
Despite that, it’s back, just as spectacular and loaded with special effects as last time but hopefully now armed with a lot more laughs.
There’s a new president in the White House, which means General Mark Naird and his team are under even greater pressure to carry out their mission to weaponize space – or risk being replaced.
Available to watch from Friday, February 18.
Bel-Air (Sky on demand and NOW)
2
Now that’s a story about how The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air was overthrown…
That’s right, the classic ’90s series has been rebooted in the 21st century, but don’t expect any wise and humorous culture clashes – or Will Smit – because Bel-Air is a different beast.
After getting in trouble with the law after a violent fight with a dangerous local gang leader, Will, a promising student and basketball player from West Philadelphia, is sent by his devoted mother to Los Angeles, to live with his wealthy and influential Aunt Vivian and Uncle Phillip. .
Can he find a way to make the most of this second chance? And will he be accepted by the over-privileged inhabitants of opulent Bel-Air?
Available to watch from Monday, February 14.
Indemnity (Apple TV+)
Imagine being able to have surgery that separates your work-life memories from your personal-life memories, so that when you’re at work, you have no idea what your life is like outside of the office.
But when you’re at home, you have no idea what you’re doing at work.
That’s the intriguing set-up of this dark and hilarious nine-parter, directed by Ben Stiller.
Mark Scout leads a small team of workers at an obscure company called Lumon Industries, all of whom have undergone this memory splitting procedure, known as “separation”.
Everything seems to be going well until one day someone appears in Mark’s life outside of work to make him wonder if being fired was such a good idea after all.
