Margo’s Got Money Troubles

Elle Fanning and Nick Offerman star in David E. Kelley’s buzzy adaptation of Rufi Thorpe’s novel of the same name. Margo is a struggling young mother who starts an OnlyFans account to get by at the advice of her estranged father, and finds herself wondering over the price of internet celebrity. Time magazine’s Judy Berman says, “It’s an ideal adaptation and one of the year’s best shows.” Sounds like it’s worth a watch! – Sean Farrell

Big Mistakes

Looking for something new and super funny to watch? Check out Netflix’s Big Mistakes! Family, sibling rivalry, blackmail, gangsters, political scandal, what more could anyone want? Each of the 8-episodes is less than 40 minutes, making it easy to watch in a few (or 1) sittings. Co-produced and starring one of my favorites Dan Levy from Schitt’s Creek fame. The ending was a total shock, at least to me. This show had me laughing out loud and eagerly waiting for season 2. – Barbara Brewster

FREE SPIRITS by CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso

This March release escaped by notice until now, but it’s better late than never. The Argentine duo of CA7RIEL and Paco Amoroso take influences from a mélange of genres and cultures across seeming the entire history of popular music. The end result feels like a perfect pool party playlist. Sonically interesting and consistently smile-inducing. – SF
