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.

'Bear'ly Legal

After spending years battling Chicago-based familial adversity on Showtime's Shameless, Jeremy Allen White is remaining in the City of the Big Shoulders for The Bear, a dark culinary comedy produced by FX and streaming in its entirety on Hulu. The series is intense, chaotic, cacophonous and, if you've ever worked in the food service industry, wholly relatable. Ramy veteran Christopher Storer – watch Ramy on Hulu if you haven't already — created The Bear and co-ran the show with BoJack Horseman  veteran Joanna Calo, who was our guest on this week's TV's Top 5 podcast.

Gimme the 'Loot' 

Since her early days on Saturday Night Live, Maya Rudolph has been one of our best and most versatile comic talents, and even if she wasn't necessarily "underappreciated," she was definitely insufficiently decorated. That was, of course, before Rudolph won four Emmys in the past two years, which somehow seems like exactly the correct amount of appreciation. What she still needs, though, is a long-running star vehicle. Alan Yang and Matt Hubbard's Apple TV+ comedy Loot isn't Rudolph's best showcase. In fact, it isn't her best showcase from Yang and Hubbard, who previously created Amazon's Forever . But it's sometimes funny and usually likable, albeit in an oddly conventional way that feels more like an NBC single-cam comedy — Parks and Recreation meets Mr. Mayor sounds right — than an edgy, streamer-friendly show. Give a listen to last week's TV's Top 5 podcast as Yang and Hubbard discuss Rudolph's genius and why doing a broadcast show on a streamer is actually subversive.

Oy, Robot

After two years away, Westworld is back on Sunday, and although there are plenty of ways to catch up or refresh your memory if you care, I'd say that the first few episodes of the HBO meditation on free will, robot ethics and belabored exposition will catch you up in a hurry. Plus, you'll be confused again in no time, so why bother ever not being confused? Maybe as an alternative, you could check out HBO Max's new comedy Gordita Chronicles , which our Angie Han called "a big-hearted charmer." Or celebrate the start of Wimbledon with the actual tennis coverage on ESPN and Tennis Channel, or with the documentary Citizen Ashe, premiering Sunday on CNN. Sure, these things don't have anything in common with Westworld, but you have choices.

Beavis and Butt-Head in the Multiverse of Madness

Last weekend's streaming movie offerings were dominated by recent Sundance favorites. This weekend's streaming movie offerings are … not. Paramount+ offers the feature-length return of the most beloved music video critics of the '90s with Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe, which I found entirely amusing enough. Nobody seems to be finding Netflix's The Man From Toronto to be particularly amusing, but it features Kevin Hart and Woody Harrelson, for whatever that's worth. Or maybe it's just a weekend to finally catch up on  Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which is new on Disney+.

Apropos of Nothing

Eliza Hittman's terrific 2020 feature Never Rarely Sometimes Always is streaming on Amazon.

This Week's THR Staff Pick

Sometimes you want to keep up with what's new and dark and cool. But some weekends, you just crave comfort food. This may be one of the latter weekends. Associate editor Christy Peña raves, "Every time I’m in the mood for a feel-good show that’ll make me laugh — and cry — I find myself gravitating toward New Girl (again). Though it officially ended a few years ago, New Girl is one of the shows that no matter when you go back to it, it’ll make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. From the LOL-worthy one-liners to the incredible ensemble cast, New Girl is always worth a watch and will make you want to find three male roommates on Craigslist to become your best friends."
