Since Netflix’s You debuted, the hit show has always toyed with audiences’ expectations.

On paper, Disney+’s Muppets Haunted Mansion special has all the ingredients needed to recapture that old Muppet magic: original songs, a zany premise, celebrity guests, and a lean runtime to keep the jokes flying.

WARNING: This review contains light spoilers for Sex Education Season 3, now streaming on Netflix. Sex Education has grown so much since its debut in 2019.

Mike Flanagan has always been vocal about his admiration for Stephen King.

Why give the audience one weepy drama when you can give them three? That seems to be the philosophy behind NBC drama Ordinary Joe, in which the title character experiences heart-wrenching situations in three alternate universes. However, once the show introduces the diverging timelines in its first episode, the multiverse set-up doesn’t really play into the narrative. Ordinary…
It makes sense that B.J. Novak’s new anthology series is titled The Premise because a premise is just about all that the show’s first season has going for it.
