Mythic Quest - Apple TV+
This videogame-themed workplace comedy centres on the fictional game Mythic Quest’s narcissistic creative director, Ian Grimm - played by McElhenney. His abrasive personality clashes with the rest of the team, as they all struggle to make Mythic Quest happen under his leadership. The show’s entire first season is already out for your viewing pleasure, and if nothing else - watch episode five! It’s absolutely brilliant.
Locke & Key - Netflix
Neflix’s latest horror series is based on a comic series written by Stephen King’s son - Joe Hill. The show revolves around three siblings who return to their ancestral home in Maine after the grotesque death of their father. They soon discover that the house has several magical keys that give them different powers and abilities - but they don’t know that a scheming demon also wants the keys, and will stop at nothing to get them.
Locke & Key’s first season is out in full already. Read our review here!
Narcos: Mexico Season 2 (February 13) - Netflix
Narcos: Mexico returns after two whole years! The show retells the rise of the Guadalajara Cartel in the 1980s, with Félix Gallardo (Diego Luna) attempting to build a massive criminal empire. Meanwhile, DEA agent Kiki Camarena (Michael Peña) moves to Guadalajara with his family to take up a new post - but soon realises he’s bitten off more than he can chew.
High Fidelity (February 14) - Hulu
Zoë Kravitz stars in this show based on a novel by Nick Hornby - High Fidelity. Kravitz plays Gordon, a young woman working in a record store in Brooklyn. She’s had some pretty bad luck with romance, but is going to make an attempt to fix that - however badly it might still turn out. Kravitz is going to be a household name when The Batman hits theatres in 2021 - so DC fans might want to check this out!
Chef Show: Volume 3 (February 19) - Netflix
The Chef Show puts Jon Favreau (Avengers: Endgame, The Mandalorian) and chef Roy Choi together as they make a bunch of tasty dishes, visit famous restaurants and serve up some grub to Favreau’s celebrity friends. It’s a wholesome watch for sure, but be warned: you will get hungry.
Hunters (February 21) - Amazon Prime

The Hunters discover that hundreds of Nazi officials are not only living amongst the public, but conspiring to bring about a Fourth Reich in the U.S. Hunters stars Al Pacino, Logan Lerman, Kate Mulvany, Josh Radnor, Tiffany Boone and more.
I Am Not Okay With This (February 26) - Netflix

The series will reunite two members of It (the movie)’s Losers Club - Lillis and Wyatt Oleff. If The End of the F***ing World was any indicator of quality, this is going to be fantastic!
Altered Carbon Season 2 (February 29) - Netflix
Taking place 30 years after the events of Season 1, Takeshi Kovacs returns to his home planet - Harlan’s World - to find Quellcrist Falconer. He soon discovers that Quell is at the centre of a series of brutal murders, and has to outwit a whole lot of enemies to get to her. Anthony Mackie plays Kovacs this season!
