Domhnall Gleeson is leading a "The Office" spinoff, developed by Greg Daniels, the original series' showrunner. Starring an ensemble cast that includes Sabrina Impacciatore, Alex Edelman, and more, the series is shot in the same mockumentary style and should be an easy watch for fans of the original.

HBO has premiered one of its most anticipated shows. "Task" is a thriller starring Mark Ruffalo as an FBI agent looking into a string of violent robberies. Developed by the guy who made "Mare of Easttown," we should expect some great character work and a contemplative tone for the series' incoming 7 episodes.

Black Bag (Prime)

Now available on Prime, "Black Bag" is one of the sleekest and quietest spy dramas released in recent memory. Starring Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett, with a stunning supporting cast that includes Marisa Abela and Tom Burke, the film follows various couples and spies who work together and have very clear lines that can't be crossed. It's an intelligent and fun movie, and a showcase of Steven Soderbergh's reliable direction.
