Welcome to Now See This, THR chief TV critic Daniel Fienberg’s weekly viewer guide newsletter dedicated to cutting through the daunting clutter of the broadcast, cable and streaming TV landscape! Comments and suggestions welcome at daniel.fienberg@thr.com.

Schmiga-Dune!

Am I trolling somebody by calling HBO Max's Dune the weekend's top piece of at-home viewing? Perhaps. Am I trolling somebody calling Denis Villeneuve's adaptation of Frank Herbert's adored sci-fi epic "HBO Max's Dune"? Absolutely. Look, you can absolutely go see Dune on the big screen — David Rooney raves about its "cinematic spectacle," if not always its storytelling — but if you're not comfortable doing so or you just don't feel like it? Pump up the volume and let Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya fill the screen on your iWatch! And then go watch David Lynch's Dune, also on HBO Max. Look, your other big weekend streaming movie appears to be Netflix's Night Teeth, so … your call!

'Invasion' of the Drama Snatchers

If you like setup involving an international cast of bland characters with the faintest whiff of alien intrigue, Apple TV+'s exposition-heavy, intrigue-lite drama Invasion should be right up your alley. If, however, you prefer adult animated comedies with lots of conspiracy references but not nearly enough laughs, check out Netflix's Inside Job. Me, I need to check out the second season of Netflix's Locke & Key . The first season of the spooky comic adaptation was a bit hit-and-miss, but after Emilia Jones' tremendous performance in CODA, I'm more than willing to revisit the show just for her. Oh, and check out our TV's Top 5 podcast chat with series creators Carlton Cuse and Meredith Averill from last spring.

Maximum 'Insecure'-ity

Speaking of TV's Top 5 interviews, this week we have a terrific chat with Prentice Penny, longtime showrunner on HBO's excellent Insecure, discussing why this was the right time to end the acclaimed Issa Rae comedy. I've seen the first few episodes of the new season, and they're as sharp as ever. And our Lovia Gyarkye agrees. I've seen no episodes from the new Curb Your Enthusiasm  season, because Larry David doesn't like critics in that way, but the world has been so very strange since the HBO comedy last aired that I can't wait to see David's particular angle on everything. Together they make for a great night of comedy, and that's before you get to HBO's funniest Sunday offering, a little show called Succession.

'Murders' Is the Case That I Gave You

Are you one of those people who likes to hold off on watching shows that air weekly in order to binge them when the season is done? If so, you're in luck with Hulu's Only Murders in the Building. I wrote my review based on the first eight episodes, praising the performances (especially Steve Martin and the tremendously funny Selena Gomez) and how well the series functions as both a comedy and a mystery. Well, the final two episodes aired this week, and they were as tight and satisfying a whodunit closer since Mare of Easttown  (which wasn't that long ago), and probably something well before that. The finale was emotionally effective, offered some of Martin's best physical comedy in years, and set the show up for an already ordered second season. Binge away!

The Hero Gothams Deserve

Other than writing reviews, podcasting and, of course, creating this newsletter, my favorite way to let people know my opinions about TV is by sitting on various awards juries. It was a pleasure to participate in naming nominees for this year's Gotham Awards. I especially love our contents for the newly added performance category — featuring unsung heroes like Reservation Dogs star Devery Jacobs,  We Are Lady Parts star Anjana Vasan and Ethan Hawke, whose The Good Lord Bird performance was mostly unsung by Emmy voters. And our contenders in the nonfiction TV category include some of my recent favorites, including  How to With John Wilson and  City So Real. If you haven't seen some of these nominees, this is my seal of approval. And if you need another 100 TV shows to watch, I filled out a ballot for the BBC's list of the 100 best shows to premiere in the 21st century. It's a fun list, even if I have many bones to pick.

This Week's THR Staff Pick 

Social media coordinator Christy Piña recommends you! Wait. No. I read that wrong. She recommends Netflix's You. She raves, "You’d think that after two seasons of the same on You, it would get boring, but the writers on season three of the series took it to the next level. They found perfectly engaging ways to spice things up by switching the focus from what Joe will do for love to what Love will do for love, and keep it entertaining without being repetitive."
