Monday, August 24 — “Family” / Familie

Season 36 / Drama / VTM

The Van den Bosche family from Mechelen, Belgium, has been running a family business for many years. Several generations of relatives navigate love stories, conflicts, personal dramas, and business challenges as they strive to maintain their relationships and keep the family business afloat.

Tuesday, August 25 — “Untold”

Season 7 / Sports / Netflix

The series consists of standalone documentary films about sports. Each episode begins with a climactic moment—the key event that shaped the entire story. The filmmakers then look back to reveal what happened behind the scenes and didn’t make it into the newspapers. The main characters and narrators are the people who were directly involved in the events and experienced them firsthand.

The first episode of the new season is dedicated to former American football star Vince Young. The film chronicles his meteoric rise in college football, the immense attention he received after a landmark game, his transition to the NFL, and his subsequent fall from grace. Young himself opens up about the pressure of fame, his mistakes, and his attempt to start over.

Season 2 / Comedy / FX Networks

Paul, Issa, Billy, Samir, and Anton are young people in their early twenties who live and work in New York City. They’re trying to figure out what they want out of life and who they want to become. Their teenage years are behind them, but they’re still a long way from true adulthood. Every day, the friends face new problems, relationships, and life circumstances, gradually realizing that growing up is rarely easy and that you have to work for what you want.

In the new season, Paul hides an important secret from his friends, Billie meets the 20-year-old owner of her fake ID, Anton learns that his sister is planning to start a family, and Issa begins to think about her own future and fertility. Later, the characters swap rooms, face career changes, and even try to decide the fate of their home through an election.

Season 3 / Drama / Netflix

Kimmy works as a dancer at a strip club and is trying to escape her difficult circumstances. Her life unexpectedly becomes intertwined with the Bellari family—owners of a successful cosmetics and hair care business. Behind the family’s outward prosperity lie power struggles, lies, betrayals, and criminal activity: the strip club turns out to be a front for a human trafficking ring.

In the third season, Kimmy finally becomes part of the Bellari family and gains influence over their business. However, maintaining that power proves difficult: a new power struggle begins within the family, and Kimmy and Mallory are forced to join forces to confront blackmail, revenge, and old secrets that could bring down the Bellari empire.

Season 2 / Comedy, Family / Netflix

After 33 years of marriage, Leanne unexpectedly learns that her husband is leaving her for another woman. Left on her own, Leanne tries to start a new life: getting used to freedom again, sorting out her relationship with her ex-husband, starting to date, and figuring out what she wants for herself going forward. Her sister Carol and other relatives help her along the way.

In the second season, Leanne continues to adjust to her new life, but now her problems are primarily family-related. Together with her sister Carol, she has to help their elderly parents, who increasingly need care. Because of this, the family ends up living under one roof, leading to new conflicts and comical situations.

Season 2 / Mystery, Sci-Fi, Thriller / Apple TV+

Physicist Jason Dessene is abducted by an alternate version of himself and transported to a parallel reality. There, Jason discovers a world where his life has unfolded completely differently, and he tries to return to his wife, Daniela, and his son. The series is based on the idea of multiple parallel worlds, where different versions of the same person and their destinies exist.

In the second season, Jason, Daniela, and Charlie try to start over in this new reality, but the past won’t let the family go. Jason once again finds himself connected to the mysterious Box, which opens a path to parallel worlds, and the search for a way home draws the characters into a new, dangerous game with their alternate selves.

Season 3 / Crime, Drama, Thriller / Netflix

A Turkish crime thriller about a special police unit that investigates the murders of women. The team is led by Commissioner Onem, who faces not only criminals but also prejudice within the law enforcement system. Each episode focuses on a separate case, and the investigations touch on themes of domestic violence, gender inequality, and criminal impunity.

In the third season, the special unit investigating the murders of women reunites following a mysterious crime. Commissioner Oneum’s unexpected return makes the case particularly personal and forces the characters to confront the consequences of past investigations.

Friday, August 28 — “Ugly Betty: The Story Continues” / Betty La Fea, La Historia Continúa

Season 3 / Comedy, Drama, Romance / Prime Video

The sequel to the cult-classic Colombian telenovela *I Am Betty, the Ugly One*, set 20 years later. Betty has become a successful woman, but her family life is far from ideal: her relationship with her husband Armando is falling apart, and she’s trying to reconnect with her teenage daughter, Mila. At the same time, Betty finds herself connected once again to Ecomoda—the company where her story once began.

The third season is subtitled “Ugly as Ever.” Betty returns to Bogotá for Hugo Lombardi’s farewell fashion show, where she meets old acquaintances and crosses paths with Armando once again. For the first time since the original telenovela, the “Quarter of the Ugly Girls” is reuniting—Betty finds herself once again in the company of her longtime friends.

I will definitely only watch "Dark Matter". The first season was good, I wonder what they came up with in the second.

I was interested in The Cemetery, Netflix and the Turks seem to be doing well, the script is not being rewritten on the go, and the series is not 2.5 hours long. I'll wait for the release of the third season and watch three at once.

Dark matter, finally πŸ‘πŸ”₯
I think this is one of the best modern TV series. The first season was just great, I've already missed you in 2 years)
Although they originally promised an anthology, but if they decided to continue the story of Jason, then maybe it's even better. Who knows what worlds he has yet to discover...

It seems that we need to start the "Dark Matter". I tried "Adults", but somehow it didn't work out, the same "I love Los Angeles" and "You're not right for us" went better.
He can also try about strippers....
I'm reading the description of "dark matter", I think I should add, I'm opening the series, and it turns out that I watched the first season, so old age crept up unnoticed

These series for 30+ seasons started appearing in collections just to scare us, right? say yes, and no one is really watching them, I'm scared. As it was, I read other people's reviews of "dark matter" and took it away, even though I hadn't planned on it, plus I postponed the "cemetery" for the future.
@wsmiller26: As a rule, if you want to watch such series, you'll find it wherever you want. No voice acting, no subtitles, not even the original buttercup

@Liyuuuuunder: well, my peak is The Anatomy of Passion for 22 seasons, and we're still waiting for 23, and even it scares me sometimes)) and so I wanted to start some kind of detective story on some of the previous collections (about a pastor who seems to be working with the police), but it's also sad that I couldn't find where to look, so yes, I understand (
@wsmiller26: anatomy has been keeping me afloat since about 2010. And so I've been fucked up twice on British soap operas with a million seasons, stupid edits on YouTube, you watch all sorts of funny couples, you start looking, and you get the fake ones.

@wsmiller26: I'm watching, not 30+, but about 30 - Law and Order (26 seasons), Law and Order. Special Victims Unit (27 seasons), Pure English Murders (25 seasons), Silent Witness (29 seasons). In fact, everything is not so scary, the main thing is to start, and then it will go on.

@wsmiller26: The first seasons are just wonderful. And anyway, the first 20 seasons before the break are simply the best, you can watch 3-5 episodes in a row without a pause (it's so addictive). But the renewed one after a 10-year break is very mediocre.

I'll be watching dark matter.
Only dark matter.
Dark matter has finally been waiting all summer! Nothing else, I'm waiting for autumn... Crystal Lake... Dexter... AW...
Like everyone else, I will continue to watch Dark Matter. I was also interested in the Untold, but then I looked at the timing of the episodes - it turns out to be a series of documentaries, not a TV series.

I'm looking forward to Leanne. The first season was a lot of fun)

Oh, the "Cemetery" has moved to my Watching section today, and it turns out that the episode of the new 3rd season has been released today! I really liked the previous seasons, Turkish crime series for me, this is something that I haven't watched before and I choose voiceover translation when I watch to hear Turkish speech, so there is more expression.
