The Patricia Arquette–aissance doesn’t get as much ink as Matthew McConaughey or Keanu Reeves did during their second comings, but it’s here—in part thanks to the rise of streaming. Between <em>The Act</em> and <em>Severance</em>, Arquette has received some of the highest accolades of her long career recently, and <em>High Desert</em> is no exception. While coming to terms with the death of her mother, Peggy (Arquette)—an addict—decides she wants to pick up the pieces of her life and become a private investigator. She finds an unwitting employer/sometime mentor in Bruce Harvey (Brad Garrett), but not everyone is onboard with Peggy’s career decisions—namely, her straitlaced sister (Christine Taylor). It’s an odd duck of a show, which is perfectly suited to Arquette’s ethereal acting style, allowing her to seamlessly flit between moments of tragedy and laugh-out-loud comedy, with the audiences doing their best to keep up. The all-star cast is made even more impressive by recurring appearances from Bernadette Peters as Peggy’s late mom.
Discovery doesn't get to corner the market on animal documentaries—and this 10-part docuseries proves it. Featuring elephant seals, brown bears, orangutans, giant otters, and all kinds of massive mammals in between, it's the perfect thing if you just want to escape and learn a few tidbits about nature. But the best part? It's narrated by Tom Hiddleston, and there's just something charming about hearing the voice of Loki talk about a bunch of different animals he could turn himself into in the blink of an eye.
M. Night Shyamalan can be a little hit-or-miss, but <em>Servant</em>, which the filmmaker executive produces and occasionally directs, is stellar. It's about a Philadelphia couple—a chef and a news anchor—who lose a child only to have it mysteriously come back to life (maybe) with the arrival of their new nanny. (You really just need to watch the show for any of this to make sense.) Moody, freaky, and occasionally even funny, it'll suck you in. With four seasons on the streamer, there’s plenty to enjoy.
Claire Danes doing her best trembling-chin acting in period garb, Tom Hiddleston as a town vicar, rumors about a mysterious mythological serpent—is there anything not to love about this show? No, there’s not. <em>The Essex Serpent</em>, based on the novel by Sarah Perry, follows a recent widow (Danes) as she heads to the countryside in Essex to investigate a “sea dragon.” There, she meets a vicar, Will (Hiddleston), who is far more skeptical of the serpent’s existence. Lush and inviting, it’s the ideal period mystery.
Hailee Steinfeld is a riotous young Emily Dickinson in this half-hour show from creator Alena Smith. It was part of the original Apple TV+ lineup and quickly distinguished itself thanks to its off-kilter vision of 19th-century Amherst, Massachusetts. The first season is a set of sharp, surreal vignettes, inspired by Dickinson's work and tracing the imagined life of the young poet, who is rebelling against her father, the town’s societal rules, and just about everything else. The second and third seasons go deeper, examining not only the poet's life, but also the roles that race, gender, sexuality, and class played in the early days of America. If you're a Dickinson stan, love a bit of smart queer dramedy, or just have a penchant for a modern soundtrack in a Civil War–era show, you’ll dig this.

I'm so stoked to see Patricia Arquette getting the recognition she deserves! She's been killing it in her roles lately and "High Desert" is no exception 
The way she weaves between drama and comedy is pure magic 
And can we talk about the cast? Brad Garrett and Christine Taylor are on point 
But what really drew me to this news is how awesome the animal documentaries sound 
Tom Hiddleston's narration has me hooked 
Claire Danes and Tom Hiddleston are just meant to be together 
I'm loving the Patricia Arquette revamp on TV 
but how's the production quality on High Desert? No pics or vids of the show are popping up online and I need some context about what we're getting here 
meanwhile on the animal docuseries side, who wouldn't wanna watch tom hiddleston narrate a bunch of animals lol 
it's not every day you get to hear loki talk about wildlife, right? 
. But seriously, it's really well done and who doesn't love learning about animals? Plus, the show is long enough to be engrossing but short enough that you don't feel overwhelmed.
. It's one of those shows where you're not sure what's real and what's not, which makes it so suspenseful. The cast is top-notch, especially Claire Danes and Tom Hiddleston - they have great chemistry together. And the show tackles some really heavy themes in a way that feels both thought-provoking and entertaining.
. It's just so well-written and acted - Claire Danes is amazing as always, and Tom Hiddleston brings this sense of skepticism to his character that makes you root for him even when he's being a bit of a grump 
.
. I love how it reimagines her life in such an offbeat way - it's like she's still speaking to us today. The show is smart and witty, with great music and performances from Hailee Steinfeld and the rest of the cast. If you're a fan of period dramas or just looking for something new to watch, I'd definitely recommend giving this one a try 
I mean, High Desert is literally giving me chills with its blend of drama and comedy 
And can we talk about the cast? Brad Garrett and Christine Taylor are killing it alongside Arquette 
She's absolutely killing it as the lead, and I love how she can seamlessly switch between drama and comedy. It's like watching a train wreck that you can't look away from 
And let's be real, who wouldn't want to watch an elephant seal docuseries narrated by Tom Hiddleston 
It's just so... charming! But what really caught my attention was the new season of "The Essex Serpent" 
I've been binge-watching it all weekend and I'm hooked. Claire Danes is perfection as the widow, and Hiddleston's got some serious dramatic chops 
I mean, who wouldn't want to listen to Loki talk about animals? 
Brad Garrett and Christine Taylor are amazing as her mentor and sister respectively! 
genius casting choice! The show's unique vision and modern soundtrack are calling my name 
can't wait to dive in!
perfect
but honestly, who needs a second coming when you've got Netflix? Like, I'm loving the resurgence of streaming, it's like they're trying to give us all an acting renaissance... with more cat videos 
. And speaking of Arquette, her latest show High Desert is actually pretty great, I mean, she can go from tragedy to comedy in like 2 seconds flat 
I'm loving the new wave of Patricia Arquette roles 
. She's so underrated as an actress, and her latest shows are giving me chills 
. Like, what's with all the supernatural nonsense? First it's "Severance" and now this "High Desert" show where Peggy Arquette is a private investigator... sounds like a bunch of hooey to me 
. And don't even get me started on "The Essex Serpent"... a sea dragon? Give me a break 
. I mean, I guess if you're into that sorta thing, go for it, but for me, I'll stick to something with a little more substance 
. What's next, are they gonna bring back the undead with "Servant"? 
. It's amazing how streaming services can bring out some hidden gems like this.
