‘Flatbush Misdemeanors’ Is a Promising Brooklyn Comedy: TV Review

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV CriticThe title of the new series “Physical,” as well as the leotard Rose Byrne wears in promotional imagery, evokes a particular moment in American cultural history: the early 1980s, when Olivia Newton-John ruled the charts and spandex and legwarmers became a workout uniform for newly fitness-obsessed women.

Talk about a power couple! Jay-Z and Beyonce put on a loved-up display when they were photographed at the June 5 Brooklyn Nets game against the Milwaukee Bucks at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The Dangerously In Love singer, 39, put her best foot forward as she sat court-side in a vinyl LBD, which she paired with a glittering black and silver bedazzled jacket.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV CriticNetflix has lately been met with varying degrees of success with pure genre serial storytelling — shows that dig deep into surreality and find within it some level of heart. These are shows less like “Stranger Things,” which is built to have a broad, near-universally-understandable appeal, than like “The Umbrella Academy,” unapologetically niche.Within this realm, “Sweet Tooth” is a relatively successful outing.

An intimate portrait of girlhood following three determined sisters in Brooklyn as they race against all odds on a journey toward hope, belonging, and a brighter future, “Sisters On Track” is a compelling-looking documentary. Perhaps further demonstrating its power, “Sisters On Track” will have its North American Premiere at the 2021 Tribeca Film Festival.

Caroline Framke Chief TV CriticThere aren’t too many surefire ideas out there these days, though “what if ‘The Secret Life of Pets’ didn’t have to be G-rated?” is about as straight down the middle a pitch as it gets. Still, “HouseBroken” finds a few ways to make itself stand out, especially with the help of several solid voiceover performances from actors who know how to make any character a standout.

Showtime is taking a familiar tack with this weekend’s season premieres of two returning shows and the series premiere of a third. The premium cabler has released the first episode of The Chi‘s fourth season and the debut of new comedy Flatbush Misdemeanors for free online, with the Season 3 kickoff of Black Monday set to join them on Sunday.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV CriticIn his personal life, Prince Harry has emerged only recently from a period of great pain. In his professional life, as evidenced by his new Apple TV Plus series “The Me You Can’t See,” the tricky part is just beginning.Oprah Winfrey’s interview, earlier this year, with the former working royal and his wife Meghan put utterly modern confessionalism to work to explode the image Buckingham Palace had cultivated over centuries.

Wow, that was a mouthful.

Gillian McKeith rose to fame as a nutritionist on the Channel 4 show You Are What You Eat in 2007 where she diagnosed the bodily malfunctions of her patients by studying their stool samples. The acclaimed nutritionist went onto become the star of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here in 2010 with her famous “fainting” episode which became one of the most talked-about moments in TV history.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV CriticIt’s a truism that coming of age as a young queer person is a challenge in part because one’s own cultural heritage is not, in the mainstream, commonly taught. The AIDS epidemic wiped out so much life, so much culture, and so many potential guides; before that, the private lives of queer people looked unintelligible to those in the position to record history.Into this gap strides FX’s “Pride,” a series of six documentaries.
