So it's not lost on me that, as one of the stalwart hosts of the insanely popular , he's often surrounded by the sweet cake covering.But for Collection 14 of the show, now streaming on Netflix, most eyes will be focused somewhere else: on the debut of cookbook icon Nigella Lawson, who joins Paul Hollywood at the judges' table.Known as in the U.K., the hunger-inducing competition show puts 12 bakers, from all generations and all walks of life, through themed weeks that focus on an ingredient, technique, or era.

actress Molly Parker plays Dr.Amy Larsen, the chief of internal medicine at a Minneapolis hospital, who loses eight years of her memory after a car crash.Reduced to the role of a medical intern at the hospital, the once-fierce Larsen has to rebuild her career using the skills she can remember, often taking on the grunt work she'd pawn off on her subordinates.
Meanwhile, her personal life also needs rehab—she has to contend with a teenage daughter she still pictures as a child, an ex-husband, Dr.Michael Hamda (Omar Metwally), and a boyfriend she can't remember.Two seasons and 32 episodes that run 45 minutes each are available for an ambitious weekend binge that might require a doctor afterward.

Co-created by Taylor Sheridan and Hugh Dillon—a Canadian rock star and actor who grew up in Kingston, Ontario, a real-life prison town—this crime thriller takes place in the similarly named fictional Michigan town whose economy runs almost entirely on its prisons.At the center of this economy is Mitch McLusky (Kyle Chandler), the town's unofficial "mayor," who keeps the peace between the prisons' guards, cops, gangs, and various factions of inmates.But when Mitch is killed, his brother Mike (Jeremy Renner) takes over, but also inherits all the problems, wars, and shady deals that come with it.
It's violent, brutal, and Renner is a force of nature as Mike.Speaking of Renner, season 3 marks his comeback after his near-fatal 2023 snowplow accident, and season 4—which brought on four-time Emmy-winning and actress Edie Falco as new prison warden Nina Hobbs—earned a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.Mayor of Kingstown TV-MA Drama Crime Release Date November 14, 2021 Where to watch Close WHERE TO WATCH Streaming BUY Network Paramount+ Showrunner Dave Erickson Directors Stephen Kay, Guy Ferland, Christoph Schrewe, Clark Johnson, Paul Cameron, Tasha Smith, Taylor Sheridan Writers James Arcega Tinsley Main Genre Drama Creator(s) Hugh Dillon, Taylor Sheridan Producers Evan Ball Seasons 4 Story By Taylor Sheridan Streaming Service(s) Paramount Plus Executive Producer(s) Antoine Fuqua, Jeremy Renner, Bob Yari, David Glasser, Hugh Dillon, Michael Friedman, Ron Burkle, Dave Erickson, Regina Corrado Powered by Expand Collapse A little taste of October before the storm comes October promises to be a solid month for Netflix TV shows, and this lineup launches the month nicely with a light dusting of flour, some fast-paced investigation drama, lives at stake in the hospital, and one of Paramount+'s best series on loan.
