This weekend I’ve … a half-hour, and I like consistency.
‘Bob’s Burgers’
When to look at: Sunday at 9 p.m., on Fox.
Season 13 of the endearing, enduring “Bob’s Burgers” kicks off with one thing rotten within the state of Ocean Avenue. Mr. Fischoeder, the eccentric landlord, has determined to settle a rating along with his brother by writing a play known as “Hamlet, However Good This Time,” which he enlists the Belchers to stage and star in; Linda is thrilled, Bob is anxious and Louise would relatively learn to sharpen knives. “Bob’s” stays as affable and offbeat as ever, the uncommon long-running sequence that might conceivably have a few of its greatest episodes forward of it. In case you’re going by a transitional section and wish some stability and luxury, watch this.
… a number of hours, and I like twists.
‘Wedding ceremony Season’
When to look at: Now, on Hulu.
Half “4 Weddings and a Funeral,” half “Killing Eve,” this eight-episode present follows what looks like a meet-cute however is definitely one thing extra nefarious. Stefan (Gavin Drea) meets Katie (Rosa Salazar) at a marriage, and he falls for her, laborious — and the following factor he is aware of, he’s being accused of homicide, and the 2 of them are on the lam. “Wedding ceremony” jogs my memory of “Run,” one other poppy, warped romantic thriller, and Salazar is simply as fascinating right here as she is on the extra mystical “Undone,” the place she performs a special troubled heroine pushed by her father’s tragedies. That is extra of a journey present than a vacation spot present, but it surely’s a enjoyable and tense experience, with loads of chemistry and humor.
… a number of hours, and I’m old skool.
‘Idris Elba: Battle Faculty’
When to look at: Now, on Amazon.
This British sequence follows the actor Idris Elba and his quest to assist a gaggle of impoverished and struggling younger folks study self-discipline and self-respect by the game of boxing. Though the present debuted earlier this yr, it looks like a throwback to early 2000s “Making the Band,” the WWE competitors sequence “Powerful Sufficient” or the scrappy first few seasons of “America’s Subsequent Prime Mannequin,” with a sliver of “The Largest Loser” on the facet. Elba is stern however supportive, the individuals keen however unfocused, and bodily exertion and emotional candor work in quintessential reality-TV tandem to offer the narrative oomph.
