Created by Tara Hernandez and Damon Lindelof (The Leftovers), this new sci-fi drama series stars Glow‘s Betty Gilpin as a nun named Simone devoted to destroying “Mrs. Davis” — the world’s most powerful Artificial Intelligence. Along with her ex (played by Jake McDorman), Simone must use her faith as she battles technology. Margo Martindale also stars as Simon’s Mother Superior.

Dead Ringers (Amazon Prime)

All six episodes are streaming

This psychological drama miniseries is based on the David Cronenberg film of the same name. Rachel Weisz plays twin gynecologists, Elliot and Beverly Mantle, as they perform questionable procedures on infertile women. Weisz’ incredible performance as two sisters (each with quite different personalities) was my main reason to watch this new TV show. As for the story, it’s disturbing and jaw-dropping.

White House Plumbers (HBO)

A five-part limited series, this satirical drama stars Justin Theroux and Woody Harrelson as two of President Nixon’s political saboteurs in the ’70s. The show imagines what happened behind the scenes with former CIA and FBI agents E. Howard Hunt (Harrelson) and G. Gordon Liddy (Theroux) as they accidentally bring down the presidency they were hired to protect.

An engineer, Juliette (Ferguson) is seeking to find out about her loved one’s murder and realizes the truth is deadlier than the lies they’ve been told.
