“Florida Man” (TV-MA) – Philly ex-cop Mike Valentine (Edgar Ramirez) has lost everything in his life to gambling. So, to pay off all his debt, Mike begins working for the gangster he owes all his money to … which blurs more lines than one. When the gangster’s girlfriend, Delly (who Mike is also fond of), escapes to Florida, Mike is forced to go retrieve her. But he has only one condition: All his debt is cleared once he brings Delly back. Reluctantly returning to his seedy home state, Mike attempts to find Delly, but he hits a few bumps in the road that turn his quick rescue into a chaotic, action-packed series of events. This seven-episode crime show produced by Jason Bateman premieres April 13. (Netflix)
“Tiny Beautiful Things” (TV-MA) – In this new series based on the book of the same name by Cheryl Strayed, Kathryn Hahn (“Bad Moms”) stars as Clare, a writer persuaded to start an advice column. But Clare wonders … can someone really give good advice while their life is falling apart? Her marriage is in a rough place, and her bond with her teenage daughter seems to challenge her more and more every day. But, once Clare begins writing and speaking to her audience as if they were the 22-year-old version of herself, she finds powerful healing. The first episode of “Tiny Beautiful Things” is out now.

“Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies” (NR) – The original 1978 “Grease” film is one of the most iconic movies in history. “Grease 2” was released a few years later in 1982, but it did nowhere near as well as the first film. So, will a prequel spin-off series pick up steam? Taking place four years before the events of the first film, this musical series follows four Rydell High students as they band together to create the all-female clique known as the Pink Ladies. With tons of visually appealing musical numbers and teenage naivety, it does well to capture the charming essence of “Grease.” The first episode is out now. (Paramount+)
