Real cults, fake fashion houses, and the incomparable Tabatha Coffey lead our choices tonight. Netflix has made Friday its own, and there’s a lot from there to like too.
MONICA’S PICK:
Wild Wild Country [Netflix]
Duplass brothers at it again. If you want to be the type of person who watches documentaries, this one about a guru who endeavors to create a town in the midst of some none-too-happy Oregonians may be the gateway drug. Seriously how did I never hear about this event??
JASON’S PICK:
Edha [Netflix]
This original Argentine scripted series is as if the folks at UnREAL showran a Project Runway knockoff. Heroine Edha navigates a world of demanding fashionistas, drug dealers, and abandoned lovers in this Netflix drama.
KATHERINE’S PICK:
Relative Success with Tabatha [Bravo, 10p]
Tabatha helps a couple in real estate get back on track.
ALSO ON TAP TONIGHT:
- We’re still not quite over the sudden Netflix plug-pull of East Los High, but we’ll give them another chance (maybe) on another gritty-quirky show about an L.A. school with On The Block. Maybe, in a post-Trump world, it can survive.
- Comforting Xo is at the center of the double-lucky “Chapter Seventy-Seven” of Jane the Virgin on The CW, which is {clumsy segue alert} currently in the first round of the Second Semi-Annual Screen Scholars March Madness, in the Family Dramedy corner of the bracket.
- The next Senator from the great state of Texas (seriously, even Ted Cruz’s daughter wouldn’t vote for her dad if she were old enough) drops by with charm to balance the snark of Bill Maher on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher.
- USA’s new docu-series The Secret Life of Kids premieres with a double episode about kids saying the darndest things (but more serious, less cutesy-folksy than the show Art Linkletter, Steve Harvey, and someone else who it’s best not to remember hosted in the past).
