1. ‘Miss. Davis (HBO Max, Tuesday)

Damon Lindeloff (‘Lost’, ‘Leftovers’, ‘Watchman’) created with Tara Hernandez (‘Big Bang’ screenwriter) this seems like it’s more than just a flippant of irreverent genres and tones around a nun (betty gilpin) dealing with an artificial intelligence. That’s right, the series comes at the right time, in the middle of a debate on the ethical issues of artificial intelligence. Like many of us, Lindelof and Hernandez wonder: What if they took over the world and didn’t have good intentions?

4. “Love and death” (HBO Max, Thursday)

Is it a ‘spoiler’ to remember a true crime that happened more than forty years ago? Or can you mention the name of another series about this case that was published last year? While we’re thinking about it, we’ll talk about ‘Love & Death’ as ​​a tale of deception and murder in a suburb of Wylie, Texas, where religious people suppress their desires. ‘hitmaker’ david e kelley (“Big Little Lians”) leads a project with two great actors, Elizabeth Olsen and Jesse Plemons, at the center of its cast.

5. “Fortress” (Prime Video, Friday)
