Watch With Us also recommends streaming Fear in Cape TownBest new Apple TV adaptations of classic 1962 and 1991 movies Gregory Peck again Robert De Niro.
'Cape Fear' Season 1 – Apple TV
Continuing the trend of adapting popular two-hour movies into limited series of eight to ten episodes, Fear in Cape Town stars Amy Adams again Patrick Wilson as Anna and Tom Bowden, a long-married couple who seem to have everything anyone could want in life: successful careers as powerhouse lawyers, two healthy children and a beautiful home with a swimming pool. That's what criminal Max Cady (Javier Bardem) seeks to destroy as he seeks revenge for spending most of his adult life in prison. He believes that Anna, who was his lawyer who represented him in his murder case, worked with Tom, who was the prosecutor in his case, to lock him up. Now it's Anna and Tom's turn for trial, with Max as judge, jury and possibly judge.
Unlike trivial TV remakes like Prime Video Dead Ringersthis Fear in Cape Town you feel it is necessary. A great creator and producer Nick Antosca it changes just enough to set it apart from the 1962 and 1991 versions, and the all-star cast delivers inspiring performances that make you empathize with their flawed characters — even Bardem's shady Cady. It's rare for a nearly 10-hour thriller to work, though Fear in Cape Town it does what its title suggests – it will scare the hell out of you.
The first two episodes of Fear in Cape Town they are broadcasting now.
'The Vampire Lestat' Season 1 – AMC
After AMC's reimagining of Anne Rice Interview with the Vampire produced two very worthy seasons of decadent television, you'd doubt the network could top what it's already done. Well, doubt be damned – AMC has done it again Vampire Lestatwhich is a completely new show and the third season of Interview with the Vampire. Whether you're a fan or a newbie, you'll love this series' campy vibe and gritty appeal.
Sam Reid returns as Lestate de Lioncourt, former lover of Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) who comes out of winter to become a glam rock star. He doesn't hide who he is as a vampire; in fact, he's using it to enhance his image as a catchy musician who gets his fans pumping — sometimes, literally. But the vampire world loves its secrecy, and several members prefer to get rid of Lestat for good in order to preserve their shadowy status.
Vampire Lestat begins airing on June 7.

'You're Killing Me' – Acorn TV
Lipstick Jungle fans, rejoice! Brooke Shields he's back with a new TV series, only this time, he's solving murders instead of chasing his friends' dirty loves in the Big Apple. In the new Acorn TV series You are killing meShields stars as Allie Chandler, a once-successful novelist looking for her next bestseller. When an old friend is murdered, Allie travels to the victim's hometown to help broadcaster Andi Walker (Amalia Williamson) to solve crimes – and maybe write a new novel that will revive his stagnant career.
You are killing me looks and sounds like Gilmore Girls it used to be a crime show. (Amy Sherman-Palladinocall me!) Yes, it has a lot of kills, but it is not guilty enough, and the body part is cut off. There's romance too, with Alice flirting with the local detective, Jack Kerrigan (Tom Cavanaugh). Shields make all this work, however; in old age [REDACTED]you are brighter than before.
You are killing me it's streaming now.
'Not Fit for Work' Season 1 – Hulu
Ella Hunt and Will Angus in Not Ready for Work.
Cara Howe / ©Hulu/Disney / Courtesy Everett CollectionHulu sure loves Gen Z. After last summer's little hit AdultsThe broadcaster is now presenting another sitcom about appropriately diverse friends who work, live and love each other in New York City. This one is called Not Worth the Joband although we've seen many of its characters and storylines before, it has a freshness and lightness to it that makes it look, if not all, memorable.
Not Worth the Job focuses on best friends AJ (Ela Hunt) and Abby (Avantika), who live in the same building as Josh (Jack Martin), Kel (Nicholas Duvernay) and Davis (Will Angus). AJ and David work together, but the others work in very different professions such as medicine and fashion. They all have one thing in common: they absorb love. They have to depend on each other, however, and, in the case of Davis and AJ, to keep going. Do I get a Ross and Rachel romance in the future? Let's hope Not Worth the Job it's a big enough hit that writers can develop will-they-or-won't-they romances that they might attract.
Not Worth the Job is streaming on Hulu.
