    What to watch with family and friends this UAE National Day long weekend

    Here are some recommendations — from comedy to dramas — to get you through


    Published:  December 01, 2022 18:14 Bethonie Butler, Washington Post

    1 of 10
    The Bear
    “The Bear”: Jeremy Allen White (“Shameless”) leads this slow-simmering dramedy about a talented fine-dining chef who returns, amid tragedy, to Chicago to run his family’s beloved but struggling diner. The FX series, from Christopher Storer, also stars Ebon Moss-Bachrach (“Girls”) and Ayo Edebiri and is objectively good enough to make everyone at your Thanksgiving table say “Yes, Chef.” Image Credit: Supplied

    Diego Luna as Cassian Andor from
    “Andor”: This “Rogue One” prequel, which delves into the back story of Diego Luna’s rebel spy Cassian Andor, is a must for those who are one with the Force, offering a look at the birth of the Rebellion and the darker side of its formation.

    3 of 10
    Spirited
    “Spirited”: If you, say, get your first pumpkin spice latte in September and start decking the halls as soon as the Thanksgiving dishes are done — no judgement — this loose adaptation of Charles Dickens’s “A Christmas Carol,” starring Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell, is probably right up your alley. (Streams on Apple TV Plus) Image Credit: Supplied
    4 of 10
    Bed Rest
    “Bed Rest”: Head to the cinemas for a spooky weekend thriller. It’s about a woman Julie Rivers, who after struggling to start a family becomes pregnant. She moves into a new home with her husband and is told to be on bed rest. However, she soon starts seeing ghostly occurrences. (UAE cinemas) Image Credit: Supplied

    Our Flag Means Death
    “Our Flag Means Death”: Most pirate tales don’t begin with the captain addressing the ship with a reminder that “if someone returns from the raid mentally devastated, we talk it through as a crew.” But this isn’t just any pirate tale — it’s an irreverent and subversive comedy based on Stede Bonnet (played here by Rhys Darby), the so-called gentleman pirate who rejected his aristocratic station for life at sea. Following its release this spring, Out magazine dubbed it the “best queer show on TV right now.” The series, which also features Leslie Jones, Kristen Schaal and Darby’s frequent collaborator Taika Waititi, was recently renewed for a second season.

    The White Lotus season 2 (5)-1667295175792
    “The White Lotus”: If you need a reminder that the company at your Thanksgiving table could be worse, look no further than Mike White’s dramedy about wealthy vacationers who find that getaways can be more harrowing (and murderous) than life at home. The second season, which premiered last month, follows several couples to the White Lotus resort in Sicily. Aubrey Plaza, Will Sharpe, Meghann Fahy and Theo James lead the second instalment, along with Jennifer Coolidge, who returns as the well-heeled space cadet Tanya McQuoid (now Tanya McQuoid-Hunt). In a recent review, The Washington Post’s Travis Andrews wrote that despite some meandering, “Season 2 is more tightly plotted and there are enough new ideas, with even the most staid insights heightened by White’s razor-sharp writing, for it to feel fresh.” (Streams on OSN+) Image Credit:
    7 of 10
    Little Women
    “Little Women”: This compelling Korean drama, very loosely based on Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel, follows three impoverished sisters (played by Kim Ye-Gyeom, Nam Ji-hyu and Park Ji-hoo) and their unwitting connections to a case involving suspicious deaths and billions in missing South Korean won. (Streams on Netflix) Image Credit: Netflix
    8 of 10
    Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana talks about his drastic transformation in ‘Action Hero’
    “An Action Hero”: Ayushmann Khurrana gets into action mode with his latest movie, where he plays a young actor Maanav. While on a career high, Maanav in involved in an accident while filming and is forced to go into hiding. The movie traces Maanav’s journey from movie hero to real-life action star.

    9 of 10
    Disenchanted
    “Disenchanted”: Fifteen years after their fairy-tale ending in the big city, Giselle (Amy Adams) and Robert (Patrick Dempsey) head to the suburbs. Maya Rudolph, Yvette Nicole Brown and Jayma Mays join (most of) the original cast in this sweet, if perfunctory, sequel. (Streams on Disney Plus) Image Credit: Disney Plus
    10 of 10
    HIT: The Second Case
    “HIT: The Second Case”: This Telugu thriller is the second instalment in ‘The HIT Verse’ and features Adivi Sesh and Meenakshi Chaudhary in the lead. The story follows a police officer who investigates a grisly murder and peel back the layers of the crime. (UAE cinemas) Image Credit: Supplied
