​Are you ready to see Jay Pritchett as the bad guy? Here, Ed O’Neill portrays infamous LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling. He was a walking liability back in the day on account of his being infamously thrifty, equally erratic and just a little bit racist. Based on the hit podcast The Sterling Affairs, this slick FX production takes us behind the scenes of the notorious NBA owner’s questionable remarks about black people, which were captured on tape and unleashed via the internet in 2014.

When famed coach Doc Rivers (Laurence Fishburne) arrived as coach of the LA Clippers the year prior, he had the foundation to win the franchise’s first championship. But, let’s not forget, Doc also had to deal with Donald, his ambitious PA/girlfriend V Stiviano (Cleopatra Coleman), plus his wife/business partner of 60 years, Shelly (Jacki Weaver). A dewy-eyed Obama-era tale of racial reflection amid memes and consistently unsettling hairpieces.

Korean Fried Chicken Rhapsody Netflix, streaming now A charming docuseries that does a deep dive into Korea’s current food scene, which largely revolves around their preferred pastime of scarfing chicken and beer. Well, after all, there are over 670 brands of fried chicken in South Korea alone. You can take that fact to your local pub quiz.

Frog and Toad

The Price of Nonna's Inheritance

The Price of Nonna’s Inheritance Netflix, streaming now In a world of hard-hitting foreign-language offerings — like the recently released Raising Voices (from Spain) and A Part of You (Sweden) — Netflix sometimes throws us a curveball. Behold this cheeky little Italian jape where a family detests their nonna’s choice of prospective husband so much, they’re willing to murder him.

How to Rob a Bank Netflix, streaming now Picture it: 1990s Seattle. And instead of immersing oneself in the city’s burgeoning grunge scene, a certain bank robber — who goes by the moniker ‘Hollywood’ — is whiling away the years pulling off an unprecedented string of bank heists. He has it all — looks, charm, a sprawling treehouse hideout, and an uncanny ability to disappear using movie-grade disguises. Until it all goes awry...

Under Paris
