Taylor Tomlinson: Quarter-Life Crisis
Tues Mar 3
On Netflix
Quarter-life crises are now a thing (the world is ending, how can we NOT panic?) and Taylor Tomlinson is having hers in style. She gets honest about sex, dating, and how, sometimes, losing your virginity is like applying to work at The Gap (how can you get a job if you don’t have experience?). Her stories are animated and incredibly frank, even if it means bringing up some of the painful stories from her past in order to make fun of them. Tomlinson’s comments about dealing with her family and her dating life will make you cackle with the truth as you avoid yet another conversation about when you’re getting married (yawn).
Watch Taylor Tomlinson: Quarter-Life Crisis on Tuesday on Netflix.
From Netflix:
Now halfway through her twenties, Taylor Tomlinson is ready to leave her mistakes behind her. Following her Netflix debut on The Comedy Lineup Part 1 (2018), Taylor divulges the lessons she’s learned in her first hour-long comedy special, Taylor Tomlinson: Quarter-Life Crisis. Premiering globally on March 3, Taylor talks about working on yourself, realistic relationship goals, and why your twenties are not actually “the best years of your life.”

Ugly Delicious
Season 2
Fri Mar 6
On Netflix
David Chang and his wife Grace just had a baby! This opens up the chef to a whole new world of food and work-life balance, which in turn adds a fresh and sweet layer to season 2 of Ugly Delicious as Chang learns about more than just food. He talks to his fellow chefs who are also parents about how impossible it is to separate their worlds—and how that can be a really good thing. We also get to see him with his family and learn how their traditions and cultures have shaped him. He applies that sense of wonder to other cultures and cuisines, journeying to India with Aziz Ansari, heading Down Under to open up the often-snobbish conversation on steaks, and looking at the myriad flavours of “Middle Eastern” food. You can see the historical journey each dish has gone through to become what they are today and it’ll make you appreciate the flavors even more. It’ll also make you marvel at just how many different kinds of food you can find nearby thanks to immigration and hybrid fusions. Good food can be found anywhere, you just have to watch Ugly Delicious to find it. Bon appetit!
Ugly Delicious returns to Netflix on Friday.
From Netflix:
The second season of the hit series continues to challenge both our taste buds and our minds as Chef Chang travels the world with writers and chefs, activists and artists, who use food as a vehicle to break down cultural barriers, tackle misconceptions and uncover shared experiences.

Special guests include Nick Kroll, Aziz Ansari, Padma Lakshmi, food writers Helen Rosner and Chris Ying, Danny McBride, Bill Simmons, and Dave Choe among others.

Hillary
Season 1
Fri Mar 6
On Hulu
Political fatigue is a very real thing right now with all the debates happening and new headlines overwhelming us everyday. So Hulu’s new docuseries is both timely and an escape from the current election as you reminisce of a time before the current GOP. This is an intimate portrait of Hillary Clinton, told by the woman herself and those around her. Hillary is a polarizing figure—no matter what your political inclinations are, you have opinions on her—and this series attempts to humanize who we often forget is a real person, not just a politician. Hillary looks back at the reasons why she got into politics, chronicled alongside some of the biggest events in history. It also digs into her side of the 2016 presidential campaign and some of the mistakes she made, as well as how groundbreaking her career has been. As you decide who to vote for in the 2020 election, Hillary is a reminder of the importance of electing leaders who want what’s best for the country.
Hillary comes to Hulu on Friday.
From Hulu:
A remarkably intimate portrait of a public woman, Hillary interweaves revealing moments from never-before-seen 2016 campaign footage with biographical chapters of her life. Featuring exclusive interviews with Hillary Rodham Clinton herself, Bill Clinton, Chelsea Clinton, friends and journalists, the series examines how she became at once one of the most admired and vilified women in the world.

Spenser (Mark Wahlberg) — an ex-cop better known for making trouble than solving it — just got out of prison and is leaving Boston for good.

That’s Hawk (Winston Duke), a brash, no-nonsense MMA fighter convinced he’ll be a tougher opponent than Spenser ever was.
