This November, be thankful for the TV premieres of Cowboy Bebop, Hawkeye, and The Shrink Next Door
November’s TV premieres include Netflix's Cowboy Bebop adaptation, the return of Showtime's Dexter, and Hawkeye’s Disney Plus debut
TV News Cowboy Bebop
The spookiest night of the year is reserved for October, but this November, TV is resurrecting long-dead shows like Head Of The Class and Dexter, and trying to charm viewers with the hotly anticipated premieres of Netflix’s Cowboy Bebop and Amazon Prime Video’s The Wheel Of Time. Paramount Plus reunites the castmates of the first season of The Real World: Los Angeles, who are alive and well, but have since yielded the spotlight to new generations of reality TV stars. And Paul Rudd gets frighteningly close to Will Ferrell in The Shrink Next Door.
November is full of moody programming, like the Lucy Hale-led Ragdoll, Showtime’s Yellowjackets, and the Italian dystopian thriller Anna. But there are plenty of brighter offerings, too, including Disney+’s Hawkeye starring Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld, new Mindy Kaling comedy The Sex Lives Of College Girls, and Marvel’s Hit-Monkey.

Honestly looking forward to Hawkeye; I loved the Fraction/Aja comic, thought that Steinfeld was solid in the Coen Bros’ True Grit, and who knows, maybe this will improve my feelings toward Renner, as I was one of the folks who thought that the wrong Murder Twin died in Endgame. (Bonus: Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova.) I’m not so sure about Hit-Monkey, as the whole concept seems gimmicky, but I don’t get Hulu anyway so whatever. Also, doesn’t the premise of Anna sound an awful lot like that of the old Star Trek TOS episode “Miri”?
Is it a red flag that Cowboy Bebop is out in 3 weeks and we haven’t seen an actual trailer for it yet?
We’ve seen the intro and teaser recently, so I’d say no.No flags on the field……………………………yet.
Trailer came out yesterday, looks good.
As long as Hawkeye doesn’t try to sing the show should be awesome.
Why is it necessary to drag the Clint Barton character and declare the Kate Bishop character ‘superior’ in every single minor article the sit writes about the Hawkeye series?The Clint Barton character has actually been one of the more rounded characters in the Marvel comics stable for generations. He’s one of the few characters that legitimately started out as a villain, became a hero, and the only one that I know of, who later in his career, became a mentor to other villains trying to turn that corner.
I was just about to say that. Barsanti makes a point of mentioning it at every opportunity and it’s just aggravating.I’m absolutely willing to concede that comic Kate Bishop is way better than MCU Clint Barton. But comic book Barton is a brilliant character, never more so than in the Matt Fraction series.
I am sad we are losing Hailee Steinfeld as Dickinson. I feel like it’s a show we should be talking about more; I can’t wait to see more classic Emily-Lavinia mess arounds and will miss those crazy Dickinson Girls. Lavinia Dickison and her growth into a Shrewd Yankee Witch has been a complete delight.
