The 5 TV Shows InStyle Editors Are Watching This Week

"I can’t wait to watch this new eight-episode anthology series on Netflix, which turns a comedic lens on sex, love, dating, and the intersection of technology and relationships. The trailer looks hilarious and features an all-star lineup including Orlando Bloom and Malin Akerman playing a couple seeking a partner for a threesome. Jake Johnson, Dave Franco, Emily Ratajkowski, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw are just a few of the other high-profile actors making appearances with Sex and the City-esque storylines. I’m penciling in my binge-watching session now.” All episodes available for streaming beginning Thursday, Sept. 22 on Netflix. —Angela Salazar, senior editor

"Out of all the new fall shows premiering, I'm most looking forward to This Is Us. This heartwarming ensemble dramedy follows the lives of seemingly unconnected people who share the same birthday. I watched a sneak peek of the pilot and loved it so much I can't wait to see where the series goes. Plus, it stars Mandy Moore, Milo Ventimiglia, and Sterling K. Brown. Great storyline and a great cast? I'm so ready to add this to my weekly watch list!” This Is Us premieres Tuesday, Sept. 20, at 10 p.m. ET on NBC. —Janelle Grodsky-Taylor, associate editor

“My latest appointment TV obsession is Atlanta: It’s the anti-sitcom in so many ways, but I’ve found myself laughing out loud to so many of those perfect and unexpected Donald Glover lines. (Like one beat after knocking back some Champagne straight from the bottle in a cool-guy way, he grimaces and says: “Champagne is the WORST.” It’s one of the only shows I’ve made sure to watch during the live airing so far this season.” Atlanta airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET on FX. —Leigh Belz Ray, features and news director

“I’m not a huge fan of reality TV (except for The Bachelor, don’t hold that against me), but for the last few years I’ve been hooked on Big Brother. I don’t know what it is about a group of strangers being thrown into a house together and competing for half a million dollars that is so interesting to me, but I can’t get enough. Plus, there are three episodes on three different nights each week, so it fills the TV voids that Game of Thrones and The Affair leave me with when I just need something—anything—to watch. Big Brother isn’t just great because of the voyeuristic aspect of watching the houseguests’ every move, but it’s funny, competitive, and filled with d-r-a-m-a. Wednesday night is the finale, and I can’t wait to see who takes home the $500k grand prize—I’m hoping it’s James!” Watch the finale Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET on CBS. —Tessa Trudeau, editorial assistant

“Season three of Empire kicks off this week, and I couldn’t be more excited. Seriously, four months without getting to see Cookie Lyon (played by the Emmy-nominated Taraji P. Henson) read everyone to filth is just too long! We’re in for a treat, because there are tons of loose ends from the season two finale that are going to be resolved straight away. First thing's first: We’ll find out who survived the scuffle between Rhonda (Kaitlin Doubleday) and Anika (Grace Gealey), where one (or both?!) of them was sent plummeting to her death from a balcony. I can’t wait!” Catch Empire on Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Fox. —Courtney Higgs, editorial assistant
