Bill Nye Saves the World: Season 1 *Netflix Original
The Netflix original series from science-guy-turned-world-savior Bill Nye is finally here, and he’s fearlessly tackling topics like sex, global warming, GMOs, technology, and alternative medicine. He’s aided by a series of correspondents including fashion model Karlie Kloss, comedians Nazeem Hussain and Joanna Hausmann, science YouTuber Derek Muller, and TV host and producer Emily Calandrelli, and the series also features special guests like Zach Braff, Donald Faison, and Rachel Bloom, among a slew of other big names.

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
Oprah Winfrey, Rose Byrne, and Renée Elise Goldsberry star in this stunning account of Henrietta Lacks, a woman whose cervical cancer cells (what we now know as HeLa) changed the course of cancer treatment in the 1950s. Featuring an all-star cast and a breathtaking story, the latest of HBO’s original films does not disappoint.

Bosch: Season 3 *Amazon Original
Your favorite LAPD homicide detective is back, and he’s juggling as many cases as he can carry. This fresh spin on the police procedural takes inspiration from Michael Connelly’s novels and plays it pretty safe, smartly integrating genre conventions with its own voice. The noir feeling and intrigue of each case stays strong in its third season, and Detective Bosch is better than ever.
