Cool TV for a smoking hot summer
Sure it's summer, our short, short summer, but when it hurts to breathe, TV is always there to help. Here are five viewing suggestions that run from cosy to crazy, with a little animated courage in the middle. ● Leanne Series premières the full season on Thursday, July 31 on Netflix Netflix Kristen Johnston (left) as sister Carol and title character Leanne Morgan in the new Chuck Lorre sitcom Leanne. Netflix Kristen Johnston (left) as sister Carol and title character Leanne Morgan in the new Chuck Lorre sitcom Leanne. Google 'reinvented the sitcom' and you will not find the name Chuck Lorre, who is responsible for a lot of shows that run long and familiar, usually built around a sharp-tongued central character supported by a kooky cadre of family (Two and a Half Men), roommates (Big Bang Theory) or the like. So the offer here is cosy comfort TV and a lot of it: all 16 episodes at once! Leanne looks and sounds a lot like Lorre's long-running hit Mom, with an older single woman refusing to give up. Standup Leanne Morgan takes the title role, newly single after her husband of 33 years leaves her for another woman. Her 'ride or die' sister is played by Kristen Johnston (The Righteous Gemstones). Their mom is played by Celia Weston (The Blacklist). Ryan Stiles (Drew Carey Show) is the errant husband. Let the binge — and pelvic-floor jokes — begin. ● Chief of War Series premières the first two of nine episodes on Friday, Aug. 1 on Apple TV+ Apple TV+ Jason Momoa stars in Chief of War. Apple TV+ Jason Momoa stars in Chief of War. Jason Momoa is the star, executive producer and even director (of the final episode: airdate Sept. 19) of this series about the battle to colonize Hawai'i at the turn of the 18th century. It features a predominantly Polynesian cast that includes Cliff Curtis (Avatar: The Way of Water), Temuera Morrison (The Mandalorian), Luciane Buchanan (The Night Agent) and a raft of new-to-us faces. Looks spectacular. ● Marc Maron: Panicked Comedy special premières on Friday, Aug. 1 on HBO Crave Stephen Colbert's Late Show isn't the only farewell unsettling comedy lovers (in case you missed it, CBS is axing that late-night stalwart entirely in May 2026). As well, Marc Maron is ending his long-running, quite excellent interview podcast, WTF, 'sometime in the fall,' he told NPR. He says he's burned out, he's been busy acting (Stick, just renewed for a second season) and who knows what else is on the horizon. Maybe even another podcast, he says. In the meantime, here's his second comedy special for HBO to help quell your comedy-news panic. Or his panic, with his trademark 'intrusive catastrophic thinking.' ● Eyes of Wakanda Animated prequel series premières all four episodes Friday, rescheduled from late August, on Disney+ I'm utterly overwhelmed and unmoored from the global timeline of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but I did love Black Panther so much back in 2018 that I might try this new series, which 'follows the adventures of brave Wakandan warriors throughout history.' Plus it's four episodes. I can do it! If you are keeping track, this is a Black Panther prequel and first TV entry into the MCU's Phase 6 — which was launched by the new movie reboot of Fantastic Four, in theatres now. Phew! ● The Pickup Movie premières Wednesday, Aug. 6 on Prime Video Amazon/MGM Eddie Murphy (left) and Pete Davidson star in the new movie The Pickup. Amazon/MGM Eddie Murphy (left) and Pete Davidson star in the new movie The Pickup. Prime Video is having a moment with its comedy-action movies. Following on the great success of the very fun Heads of State, which premièred July 2 with John Cena and Idris Elba playing world-leader action heroes, comes The Pickup. The storyline is immaterial with a cast including Eddie Murphy, Pete Davidson, Eva Longoria, Andrew Dice Clay and Keke Palmer. But if pressed, here is the one-liner: regular-guy armoured-truck drivers bicker but eventually rise to the challenge after being ambushed by 'ruthless criminals.' Pass the popcorn and keep it coming. Broadcast dates subject to change. Questions, comments to
