By Christine Persaud and Blair Marnell October 4, 2022 Share Prepare to feel chills up and down your spine this week if you decide to check out A Friend of the Family, the gripping new drama miniseries starring Emmy-nominated Jack Lacey (The White Lotus). Based on the true story of the Broberg family, it’s a retelling that has been done before through series like Netflix’s Abducted in Plain Sight. But Lacy’s performance as the troubled Robert Berchtold adds another dimension of evil. Also this month, several other shows return for new seasons, including One of Us is Lying, New Amsterdam, The Amber Ruffin Show, and, of course, the long-running sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live. There’s plenty to check out among the best shows on Peacock right now and lots of reasons to sign up if you have been on the fence about doing so. Can’t find anything you like on Peacock? Lucky for you, we’ve also curated guides to the best shows on Netflix, the best shows on Hulu, and the best shows on Amazon Prime Video.

Based on true events, Robert Berchtold (Lacy) kidnaps a child, Jan Broberg (Grace), several times over a number of years. He’s a close friend of the family, and the Brobergs’ faith and sense of community create blinders to Berchtold’s true motivations and psychopathic tendencies. As Berchtold digs deeper and deeper into the fabric of the family, even trying to turn the young girl against them, father Bob (Hanks) finds it increasingly difficult to ignore the truth masked behind the charm.

James J Bulger, features six episodes. Teams of documentarians travel throughout the U.S., visiting subjects who have rejected the reporting of mainstream media, with much of the content focused on those who aided the January 6 riots, anti-vaccine advocates who have spoken out against the COVID-19 vaccine, and various conspiracy theories. What drives people to believe what they do, what are the dangers of conspiracy thinking, and how has this contributed to tearing apart society? It’s an eye-opening watch, regardless of which sentiments you believe.

New Amsterdam is a heart-wrenching, comedic, sometimes all-too-real portrayal of the medical profession that takes not-so-subtle jabs at societal injustices in every episode. It might be a story about a sick patient who can’t afford treatment, a teenager dealing with mental illness and isolation during the global pandemic, or even the existence of racism in the hospital. It’s fiction with a hint of truth tossed in for good measure as medical director Dr. Max Goodwin (Ryan Eggold) tries desperately to save the world and help everyone he can, even if his completely unorthodox ideas raise eyebrows. The fast-paced show tugs at the heartstrings and marks a welcome departure from the typical formulaic hospital drama.

Built around the premise that a present-day Johnson is running for president and being interviewed, he recalls pivotal, sometimes unbelievable moments in his life that he somehow tie to his relatability to average Americans. Young Rock flips among three different times — when he was a young boy, a teenager, and in college — and features real stories from the actor’s life, albeit sometimes told out of order. The actors playing younger versions of Johnson are superb, as is the supporting cast of characters, including Johnson’s parents (one playing wrestler Rocky Johnson), grandmother, and other famous wrestlers from that era such as Andre the Giant, The Iron Sheik, and “Macho Man” Randy Savage. Get ready to relive those glory days.

And he’s willing to do just about anything to realize his dreams, even participate in a dangerous python hunt set up by the local government to help prevent an ecological disaster. The person who brings in the most dead snakes gets $20,000, an offer far too tempting to refuse. The premise might sound silly, but given Robinson’s comedic track record, along with the show hailing from the creators of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Dan Goor and Luke Del Tredici (who also serve as showrunners), it’s bound to bring the laughs. The logline says the show is a comedy about “class, capitalism, and one man’s quest to achieve the American dream. And also about hunting really big snakes.” That about says it all.

The show touches on political issues, including the billions of dollars earned by land grabs and politicians being bought and sold, as well as violence that can sometimes get really ugly as various groups fight for power and influence. The idea is that the Dutton family, which owns and controls the largest contiguous ranch in the U.S., represents both the best and the worst of America. The series, which stars Kevin Costner in the lead role, got off to a rough start, but reviews got dramatically better.

That project has finally come to fruition with Saturday Night Live‘s Kate McKinnon playing Baskin and John Cameron Mitchell (The Good Fight, Shrill) as the eccentric Exotic. The surreal story, full of twists and turns, involves two rival big-cat sanctuary/zoo owners. The show, based on the Wondery podcast, focuses on the criminal case whereby Exotic, who held a passionate and public vendetta against Baskin, was charged and convicted for murder-for-hire. Was he set up? Did he really intend to have her killed? The jury is still out when it comes to the court of public opinion, but fans hope McKinnon and Mitchell’s portrayals might breathe new life in a story that once got everyone through the toughest and earliest lockdowns of the pandemic.

Of course, there’s also the usual hangout spot where much of the hijinks occur over music and wine.

Executive producer Chris McCumber told The Wrap that Zellweger was so passionate about playing the role, he did not hesitate to provide the two-time Oscar winner with the “tools [she] needed to embody [the] character,” which includes the actress being outfitted with prosthetics and a padded suit for her transformation into Pam.

Unlike many of the other formulaic medical dramas of the past and present, the focus on this one is Bash’s struggles as an immigrant and his unique abilities and intuitive nature that make him able to diagnose patient troubles much more quickly than his colleagues. This is due, in large part, to his time working in a war zone during the Syrian Civil War and having seen a plethora of injuries and illnesses. NBC picked up U.S. broadcast rights for the show.

Set in the modern day and with newcomer Jabari Banks as the title character (Will Smith, who originally played Will, aka Fresh Prince, is counted among the executive producers), Will still makes that move from West Philadelphia where he was born and raised to move in with his auntie and uncle in Bel-Air. The challenges he faces in this new world, very different from the only one he has known, take their toll on the young man. It’s raw, dramatic, current, and full of danger, with a storyline only marginally similar to the original in its base premise and character names. While Bel-Air carries the weight of the pop culture reputation of the original, it’s poised to deliver with a fresh look at a story about a life turned upside down.

Together in this reality/comedy show, they have great chemistry. The pair bring real stories to life in a similar way a true crime story might be re-enacted on an episode of Dateline. Except here, it’s heartwarming and funny. Everyday people recall their fantastic stories (think a man sneaking into every home game of his favorite pro football team, including the Super Bowl, back in 1979, or an engineer staging a fake crime to impress his soon-to-be father-in-law) as comedians and actors like Terry Bradshaw, Adam Pally, Tichina Arnold, and Rob Riggle star in scripted re-enactments, using their talents to bring viewers into each part of the story. While every story isn’t humorous, there’s an element of humor driven into each one to make it a feel-good, heartwarming show that gives people the opportunity to share some of the most memorable moments in their lives.

He plays the widowed father of two children who works as a morning show host. While life goes on, the story follows his struggle to move forward as a single dad. With a cast that also includes Don Johnson as Kenan’s father-in-law Rick, SNL‘s Chris Redd as his brother Gary, and Kimrie Lewis as his executive producer and friend Mika, it’s not surprising that the series was an instant hit. Hot on the heels of Thompson’s Primetime Emmy Award nomination, the show was renewed, with season 2 episodes available as well, though it was canceled after two seasons.

While she knows how to lead a business, what she doesn’t know anything about is cars. As the team tries desperately to get with the times and work on everything from new car tech innovations to self-driving vehicles, the situations usually result in disaster, or, at the very least, are downright amusing. Critics view the series far more favorably than audiences.

Adapted by TV hitmaker Norman Lear from the British sitcom Steptoe and Son, Sanford and Son opened the door for the many other Black-led sitcoms that came after it. It tells the story of Fred G. Sanford, an older, stuck-in-his antiquated-ways man and his interactions with his son Lamont, who constantly tried to get his father to see things from a different perspective. Usually, the pair would get up to schemes to try and pay off debts, leading to hilarious outcomes.

A parody of MacGyver, the title character, played by Will Forte, comes up with ridiculous ways to get himself out of life-or-death situations, finding random objects to fashion useful tools and gear. However, unlike the real MacGyver, MacGruber’s missions are often unsuccessful. The character spawned a 2010 movie of the same name that was a flop, but the series promises a refreshed sequel story and a new cast of supporting characters that includes Sam Elliott, Laurence Fishburne, and Billy Zane, along with Kristen Wiig and Ryan Philippe reprising their roles from the movie.

While there are plenty of throwback references for ’90s kids, along with returning cast members, it’s all about the new cast of characters. Thirty years have passed, and a new generation of kids are attending Bayside. But when Governor Zack Morris (yes, the same Zack) throws everyone for a loop by closing a high school in a low-income area and integrating the kids from the neighborhoods into more prestigious public schools across the city, including Bayside High, things get interesting. Beneath the seemingly one-dimensional surface of the sitcom are clever stories and dialogue that promote self-confidence and acceptance, veiled by the constant mockery of stereotypes and dated technology (yep, they found a way to bring back the brick phone). Fans of the original series will appreciate the Easter eggs, while a new legion of fans will find an entirely new group of kids that are relatable to this generation. Saved by the Bell was canceled, but watch the first two seasons for a few laughs.

At the top of the FBI’s Most Wanted List, he puzzles authorities when he willingly turns himself in. But there’s a catch: He will help them take down the most notorious criminals around, including those they don’t even know exist, in exchange for his freedom. The offer is too good to resist, despite the many apparent ethical (not to mention legal) concerns. But Red proves his worth, even if the FBI must turn a blind eye to the fact that he’s selfishly profiting from eliminating his enemies, and FBI agent Elizabeth Keen is left in the dark as to why he is intent on protecting her. It’s nail-biting intensity, with a different sinister villain featured in every episode, and twists and turns that keep coming, all the way through.

Christopher Meloni, who starred as Detective Elliott Stabler in the first 12 seasons of SVU, comes out of retirement following the murder of his wife. The angle for this series is the investigation of organized crime groups, and the pacing is slightly different, with a single case being covered in multiple episodes versus being wrapped up by the time the credits roll.

Naturally, the first thing he wants to do is hunt down the person who killed him during that sting operation gone wrong. The dynamic between Major and his shocked partner and best friend Roy, turbulence with his wife Kelly, and questions surrounding the A.I.

Unlike the original, however, the Special Victims Unit (SVU) tackles particularly troubling cases dealing with rape, pedophilia, and domestic violence. If some of the stories look familiar, they are, as the show draws inspiration from real-life news headlines, new and from the past, albeit with dramatic effect to create a compelling though disturbing look at cases that seem too outlandish to be real.

But there may be intrigue closer to home for Kendra as well as her adopted son, AJ (Alexandre Bourgeois), questions the accident that claimed his father’s life, as well as the role that Kendra may have had in it.

In the case of this popular Jenji Kohan (Orange Is the New Black) series that originally aired on Showtime back in the early-to-mid-00s, desperate times call for desperate measures. Nancy starts by selling marijuana to support her family, but she soon becomes embroiled in the dark, illicit criminal underworld of drug dealing.

That, along with the fact that the crime drama is based on the popular Wondery podcast of the same name, points to the series being the perfect match for any fan of the true-crime genre. Based on the story of Dr. Christopher Duntsch, who was accused of injuring dozens of patients and killing two before his medical license was revoked (and he was eventually convicted), it’s a gripping tale about an evil doctor who makes his own rules and manages to get away with it.

This series was the most-streamed program on Netflix last year, and only the first five seasons are free to watch on Peacock, with the remaining seasons 6 to 9 on the premium tiers. Regardless, this adaptation of the British series far surpassed the original’s run with a cast full of established players and rising stars. Steve Carell’s Michael Scott gets the majority of the laughs as the clueless boss in this workplace mockumentary. But the real heart of this series was the unfolding romance between Jim Halpert (John Krasinski) and Pam Beesly (Jenna Fischer).

Not surprisingly, the sitcom earned Outstanding Comedy Series Emmy Awards for its first five seasons. Filmed mockumentary style, the story follows the Pritchetts and their respective “modern” families, which include the older Pritchett patriarch, Jay, and his much younger Columbian wife; Jay’s son, Mitchell, his husband, and their adopted daughter; and Jay’s high-strung daughter, Claire, her goofy husband, Phil, and their three children. Every episode is filled with double entendres, clever misunderstandings, hilarious dialogue, and wonderful acting as the family members go about their daily lives. Segments are broken up with seated interview bits as the characters reveal their true thoughts and motivations to an unidentified cameraperson. This same mysterious cameraperson is also often the subject of characters breaking the fourth wall. It’s rare these days that a sitcom can literally make you laugh out loud, but it’s almost a guarantee that will happen with each episode of this clever and witty show.

Much of the story centers around the dry and sarcastic Ray (Ray Romano) and his family as they deal with his overbearing mother and surly father who, because they happen to live across the street, have no boundaries and frequently pop in. Between Ray welcoming his mother doting over him, his older brother still living with their parents, and his aggravated wife dealing with a constant stream of passive-aggressive insults from her manipulative and controlling mother-in-law, every episode is chock-full of relatable laughs. It’s one of those sitcoms that’s consistently funny all the way through and is just as relevant today as it was 25 years ago.

Making things especially difficult, however, is that Carrie’s demanding and scheming elderly father, Arthur, lives in the basement. He is always up to one scheme or another and often gets Doug involved, leaving Carrie to clean up their messes. Doug is the relatable husband: He works a traditional job and loves watching sports, eating junk food, and hanging with the guys. Carrie, meanwhile, is the demanding yet sweet and caring wife who is trying to find her career footing while caring for her often-frustrating father. For a show that takes place most of the time in the Heffernan home, it’s a testament to the three leads that each episode is as engaging as the next.

While it was a sitcom at heart, with plenty of hilarious and witty dialogue and relatable conversations, at the center of the story was Lopez’s troubled past, including a neglectful and alcoholic mother who hid from him the fact that his father was actually still alive. Today, sitcoms and series centered around Latino characters are fairly common.

Roseanne broke new ground with its deft mixture of working-class comedy and drama. Barr and John Goodman starred as Roseanne and Dan, the struggling parents of the Conner family. The original run of nine seasons didn’t shy away from depicting a more realistic portrayal of family life in the 1980s and 1990s.

Adam Zwar stars as Adam, a would-be boyfriend for Sarah (Cindy Waddingham). However, Adam’s potential romance with Sarah is threatened by her dog, Wilfred (Jason Gann). Everyone else sees Wilfred as an ordinary dog, but to Adam, Wilfred looks like a man in a pathetic dog suit who can speak English and has a taste for all of the vices. The unique relationship between Adam and Wilfred carried the series through two seasons, and it has a very different comedic flavor than the show that came after it.

The educational series also teaches about the history of the island and stories of those in the past who have searched for the supposed treasure, ending in everything from bitter rivalries to bad luck and even death. As the brothers head out on their journeys in each episode, they discuss recent discoveries, theories, and other stories. What makes the show so engaging is that the Lagina brothers have long been passionate about the hunt, since Rick read fascinating stories about Oak Island in a 1965 issue of Reader’s Digest magazine when he was just 11 years old. The pair now reportedly owns most of the island and embark on their journeys, accompanied by a father-and-son team of permanent residents of the island.

Nelson hasn’t seen his daughter in a decade, but in order to clear his name, he must uncover what happened and track her down. Along with grieving the loss of a daughter he didn’t even really know, the irony in Nelson having to search for one he presumably never wanted to find in the first place makes for an interesting premise.
