Four New 100% Critic Scored Netflix, Amazon, Peacock And Apple Shows You Can Watch Right Now

Well, I don't know which streaming services you subscribe to these days, but I'm going to try to cover a lot of bases here with four different 100% critic scored series on Rotten Tomatoes that have either arrived within the week or are about to. It's a good era for TV, as there are plenty of 90%+ series as well, but you want perfect? We've got perfect:
Blood of Zeus
Netflix
Netflix's Blood of Zeus (100%): I wrote this up yesterday, but it's worth mentioning here again. It's a quite bloody and sexy animated series focused on Greek mythology that has maintained perfect 100% scores across multiple seasons, a true rarity in the genre. Here's the synopsis:
'Chronicles the illegitimate son of Zeus, a young man tasked with saving heaven and earth despite the interference of a vengeful goddess and her monstrous forces.'
Poker Face
Peacock
Peacock's Poker Face (100%): This was one of the first shows that put Peacock on the map, albeit that service hasn't been performing ideally since. The Natasha Lyonne mystery series has landed a perfect 100% score for season 2, airing well after its January 2023 initial release, and I'm unclear about that delay. Here's the synopsis:
'A mystery-of-the-week series following Charlie Cale, who has an extraordinary ability to determine when someone is lying. She hits the road in her Plymouth Barracuda and with every stop encounters a new cast of characters and strange crimes she can't help but solve.'
Careme
Apple
Apple TV+'s Carême (100%): This is no doubt the one that the fewest people have heard of, both because it's on Apple TV+, the service that refuses to advertise anything but severance, but also because of its unique focus. Here's the synopsis:
'The world's first celebrity chef, Antonin Carême rises to the height of culinary stardom in Napoleon's Europe; his talent attracts the attention of politicians who use him as a spy for France.'
The Narrow Road to the Deep North
Amazon
Amazon Prime Video's The Narrow Road to the Deep North (100%): I've covered this before, but it's a great war story adapting an excellent book. It's a start turn for Euphoria's Jacob Elordi who has been on a great run as of late. Here's the synopsis:
'The story of Dorrigo Evans, an army surgeon whose short but forbidden affair with his uncle's wife sustains and haunts him through his darkest days in a Thai-Burmese prisoner of war camp in WWII.'
These are far from the only 100% scored shows on these streaming services, but they are the newest, and you have almost certainly not seen them yet (a few aren't out for a few more days). One catch here is that compared to other shows they have a low number of reviews in, but hey, they're all good. Enjoy.

Jam expert Donna Collins trashes Meghan Markle's As Ever apricot spread: ‘There's no excuse for this'
The queen of jam has spoken. Jam expert Donna Collins trashed the new apricot spread from Meghan Markle's As Ever lifestyle brand. 'It's a real disappointment that Meghan is selling a fruit spread, which is what you make when your jam fails,' Collins said, according to the Daily Mail. 9 Donna Collins. The Jelly Queens 9 Meghan Markle cooking in her kitchen. Netflix 'In the jam industry a spread is what we call something that didn't work,' the Jelly Queens owner continued. 'It can have the best ingredients, but if I had a jam that was too runny, I'd slap a label on it and call it a spread.' 'There's no excuse for this,' Collins added. 'It should be perfect.' 9 Meghan Markle in an Instagram video. @meghan/Instagram 9 Meghan Markle making jam with her daughter, Lilibet. The 'MasterChef' alum, who has reportedly won over 40 world championship honors in jam-making competitions, also called out Markle, 43, for her 'conventionally grown apricots, which will have used pesticides.' 'And why is she using pectin, which is a gelling agent, unless it's because her spread was too runny?' Collins asked. 'Most spreads don't use pectin.' 9 Meghan Markle's homemade jam. @heatherdorak/Instagram On Friday, Markle released her new apricot spread in an individual jar for $9 and keepsake packaging for $14. Both items quickly sold out. 'Her apricot spread sold out in minutes, just like her earlier raspberry spread, which may mean they only made a small batch,' Collins surmised. 'I don't know who's making her spread,' the jam guru continued, 'but we all know it's not Meghan. It sounds like they really don't know what they are doing.' 9 Meghan Markle cooking in her kitchen. meghan/Instagram The Post has reached out to Markle's reps for comment. Markle revealed her plans to sell homemade jam after announcing her own lifestyle company last year. The 'Suits' alum even sent out lemon-filled gift baskets containing fresh fruit jam to 50 of her friends last summer. 9 Meghan Markle and Prince Harry at Beyonce's Cowboy Carter tour in Los Angeles.

Markle made her love of hosting known in her Netflix series 'With Love, Meghan' which debuted on the streamer in March.

Margaret Cho alleges Ellen DeGeneres was 'really weird and not nice' to her
There's no love lost between Margaret Cho and Ellen DeGeneres. During an appearance on "The Kelly Mantle Show," the comedian, 56, alleged that the former "Ellen DeGeneres Show" host was "really weird and not nice" to her for "most" of her career. USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for DeGeneres for comment. The topic came up when Mantle asked Cho to share her thoughts on a series of comedians. After DeGeneres was named, Cho took a long pause before responding that the "Finding Nemo" star, who is "somebody that I've known for such a long time," is "mean." Cho added that DeGeneres "was like a mean girl" and speculated she "always had negative feelings towards me because her girlfriends" liked her. The "Drop Dead Diva" star went on to allege that when she would appear on DeGeneres' talk show, the comedian "acted like we just met," even though Cho previously opened for her in the 1980s. "That's weird," Cho said. "We go way back." Cho also recalled an instance where David Bowie appeared on DeGeneres' show and talked "at length" in praise of Cho and her wardrobe after Cho went to see the singer the night before. But DeGeneres "cut it out of the show, which made me so mad," Cho said, calling this "so rude." "I don't know if it was personal — maybe it was (cut) for time — but still, I'm going to take it personally," she added. Ellen DeGeneres says she went to therapy amid toxic workplace scandal in final comedy special After the interview, Cho shared a clip of her comments about DeGeneres on Instagram, writing, "Have you heard this story? It's a good one." DeGeneres hosted her long-running "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" from 2003 to 2022 after previously starring on the groundbreaking sitcom "Ellen." In 2020, current and former employees of the talk show spoke out against what they described as "racism, fear, and intimidation" behind the scenes in an investigation by BuzzFeed News. Ellen DeGeneres celebrates 20 years with Portia de Rossi, addresses UK home flooding rumors DeGeneres addressed the toxic workplace allegations on her show in September 2020, telling viewers that "things happened here that never should have happened," adding, "I take that very seriously, and I want to say I am so sorry to the people who were affected." The following year, she announced she would end her talk show. In September, DeGeneres further addressed the allegations in her Netflix special "Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval," quipping that she got "kicked out of show business because I'm mean." She also revealed that she went to therapy to "deal with all the hatred" amid the toxic workplace scandal. "It was not a common situation for a therapist to deal with," she said in the special. "At one point, my therapist said, 'Ellen, where do you get this idea that everyone hates you?' I said, 'Well, New York Times, Washington Post, Entertainment Weekly, Us Weekly — I think Elmo may have said something recently on an episode of 'Sesame Street.'"
