Aziz Ansari: Nightclub Comedian (Netflix stand-up special) — It’s been a difficult few years for all of us, but Aziz Ansari’s had an added layer of discomfort. Following sexual misconduct allegations (which did not result in charges) made against him in 2018, he retreated from the public eye and emerged with an insightful, reflective comedy special for Netflix and a damn fine third season of Master Of None. He’s back with a fresher, pandemic-set stand-up special that was filmed as (according to Netflix) “an intimate surprise gig” from the Big Apple in December 2021. *Click*

In case you missed this pick from last Tuesday:
How I Met Your Father: Season 1, Hulu (Hulu series) — One of the bigger things to know about this particular franchise revival is that it includes Kim Cattrall, who opted out of another franchise revival (the Sex And The City continuation, And Just Like That). Cattrall portrays the future version of Hilary Duff’s Sophie, and of course, we’re going to hear all about how Sophie met her son’s dad, way back in 2022 when the realm of dating apps made looking-for-love even more complicated than in the IRL days. 87 Tinder dates in one year sounds like a total nightmare, right? Let’s live vicariously.
