Jennifer Coolidge, right, is fantastic as Tanya McQuoid in both seasons of White Lotus. - Bell MediaI tend not to binge through shows as often these days, especially ones with multiple seasons. I like to let things marinade a bit, usually doing one or two episodes a week.The series, with two seasons now available on Crave, is the perfect definition of a guilty pleasure. There is depth there, certainly, about the human condition and our capacity for cruelty and temptation.

There’s the cringey race and class politics at play as the rich, mostly white people complain about utterly unimportant things to torture the resort employees for sport. There’s also a pearl-clutching array of sexual power dynamics that get explored, upend relationships and barriers at every step. When the second season ended, I felt like a spoiled kid, wanting more of the sweet treat, sad the ride was over.Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery features an incredible cast, including Edward Norton, left, Madelyn Cline, Kathryn Hahn, Dave Bautista, Leslie Odom Jr., Jessica Henwick, Kate Hudson, Janelle Monae, and Daniel Craig. - NetflixThe excellent Knives Out was a revelation when it was released in 2019.

Benoit Blanc finds himself surrounded by rich, famous and insufferable ‘disruptors,’ who meet every year with their billionaire friend Miles Bron at his ostentatious mansion in Greece for a murder mystery game. It doesn’t quite hit the same highs as the original, but Glass Onion is a slick, hilarious ride, with plenty of interesting and clever twists. It’s the first Netflix original movie in a while that felt like it was made for the big screen.
