This series offers up an irresistible premise: what if the crash landing was just the beginning of the nightmare? Because in the aftermath of the disaster, the nine survivors start getting picked off, one by one. But who's doing it? The remaining folks need to figure out who the murderer is and quick — before they're next.

7. Wear Whatever the F You Want
Makeover show 'What Not to Wear' was very much of its time, filled with 2000s-era judgment and arbitrary rules about how people 'should' dress (for their age, for their weight and so on). Now, sparky hosts Stacy London and Clinton Kelly return for a more modern, more inclusive makeover show that prioritizes personality and celebrates individuality versus enforcing lockstep conformity.

'Polyfamily' showcases the unique challenges of nonmonogamy, including both the joy and the pitfalls of the lifestyle.

Drama includes one quad member wanting to explore relationships outside the household and the potential reveal of one of the children's fathers. Stream it Tuesday on Discovery Plus.

'Summer of 85' beauty Benjamin Voisin plays the man heralded as the world's first celebrity chef, Antonin Carême, in this sumptuous period piece that takes place in 19th-century France. Stream it Wednesday on Apple TV Plus.

Gene Hackman's best movies, groovy Canadian folk rock and Josh Holloway's new ride: what we're obsessed with this week
TV: 'Duster' There's not much new under the blazing Phoenix sun in this soft-boiled, neo-noir action series from creators J.J. Abrams and LaToya Morgan (streaming on Crave), in which a gangster's gofer and the first Black female FBI agent uncover a conspiracy in the '70s American Southwest. Quentin Tarantino and Paul Thomas Anderson are two of the more obvious touchpoints, what with the incessant, crate-digger needle-drops, strutting camera moves and shocking bursts of ultraviolence. But the gleeful tone, wild cameos and ridiculously charismatic lead performances by Josh Holloway and Rachel Hilson make this a lot of fun to watch. —Doug Brod
