James Gunn gave DC a second crack at The Suicide Squad, making it a raunchy, gory, hardcore R affair. That energy carried over to the TV spin-off Peacemaker. With John Cena as the Peacemaker, the show delved into his psychology a bit and made him likable. There was plenty of gore and vulgar jokes, of course.

Taika Waititi may mislead some people, but the success of What We Do in the Shadows and Thor: Ragnarok shows what he can do when he fires on all cylinders. Our Flag Means Death is a step back from the best Waititi projects, but it stars Rhys Darby in this comedy about an aristocrat who decides to become a gentleman pirate.

Was this show about Jerry Buss buying the Los Angeles Lakers and portraying Magic Johnson completely accurate? No, but who cares? It's a dramatization, and if you accept it on that level, especially the first few Adam McKay left the show to showrunners capable of handling history.

Like the reboot of Iron Chef America, there are enough changes to make this a new show. First, it's on Netflix. Second, Alton Brown has co-hosted Kristen Kish. It's a great addition to the mix. It's also designed for bingeing, so it's formatted differently but works just as well.
