04 Jan 2026 Reading time: 1 minuteFive TV picks — darkly funny crime, a classic cold-case procedural, two big Apple TV+ comedies, and a Hollywood satire.
Fargo (Hulu)
Anthology of darkly comic crime tales — each season stands alone, the casting is always great, and the tension sneaks up on you.
Cold Case (HBO Max)
Detective Lilly Rush reopens dormant Philadelphia homicide investigations — a procedural with real emotional weight and great period flashbacks.
Ted Lasso (Apple TV+)
An American football coach is hired to manage a British soccer team — funny, warm, and ridiculously easy to binge.
The Studio (Apple TV+)
Seth Rogen plays the newly appointed head of a movie studio, trying to keep movies alive while juggling corporate demands, egos, and chaos.
Platonic (Apple TV+)
Two former best friends reconnect in midlife — strictly platonic, wildly funny, and destabilizing in the best way.
