High Hopes

Disney+, streaming now

​If you thought Jimmy Kimmel was too busy wrapping up Trump’s latest machinations in a 10-minute nightly monologue to produce a workplace reality series set in a medical marijuana dispensary, you’d be wrong. In fact, regular viewers of Jimmy Kimmel Live! (YouTube) will recognise a certain baked employee — Freddie Miller from Michigan.

After a news clip of Miller waiting in line at the state’s first legal dispensary went viral in 2020, Kimmel and his crew tracked him down for an interview. Twelve months later, they flew him out to LA for a dream job reviewing different grass strains, before landing a job at one of Hollywood’s oldest cannabis dispensaries, MMD.

Run by Belarus-born brothers, Slava and Mishka, the pair have grand plans to expand their empire nationwide and release their own cannabis brand. Will they reach for the stars, or will their hopes go up in smoke? With employees like Freddy sampling the wares at work, only time will tell.

Tiger

Tiger

Disney+, streaming now

Who doesn’t want to watch a litter of bumbling tiger cubs of a Monday? Narrated by Priyanka Chopra Jonas, the film follows the wee cubs blindly barrelling after their mother as they navigate pythons, bears, and malevolent male tigers.

Loot

AppleTV+, streaming now

Welcome to the halfway point of season two of this Maya Rudolph vehicle. It follows Molly, who’s still figuring out what to do with her $87bn divorce settlement in the most fish-out-of-water ways imaginable.

Black Flies

Black Flies

Prime Video, streaming now

Look away if you’re squeamish. For context, this Sean Penn Prime Video offering is so gut-wrenchingly gritty that he spends half the time snarling through a gnawed toothpick (not exactly hygienic given he’s a paramedic). Tye Sheridan (Ready Player One) plays a rookie medic on the mean streets of NYC. Mentored by the aforementioned grizzled Penn, their respective reactions to a call-out involving an addled mother in labour haunt them both. Expect Mike Tyson to pop into this bleak yet affecting affair based on Shannon Burke’s novel.

​Don’t Hate The Player

Netflix, streaming now

Picture it. Thirteen of you heading to an island in paradise, only to be met with a makeshift camp. Players compete for a spot in a luxury villa and a shot at €150,000 in a tense game of strategy and survival hosted by Claude Dartois. If it sounds like fellow Netflix fare, Surviving Paradise, that’s because it’s essentially a French version of Surviving Paradise.

Jane

​Jane

AppleTV+, streaming now

Season two of the sci-fi kids’ fantasy, which puts the wonders of nature front and centre, returns. Consider it a live-action Once Upon a Time... Life and Inner Space, melding imaginations, and the teachings of Jane Goodall. Yes, it’s for kids, but we adults can learn stuff too.
