The theme of this week, it seems, is women trying to rediscover themselves. There\u2019s Rachel Weisz playing a professor looking to get sexually reinvigorated. There\u2019s Padma Lakshimi trying to reinvigorate the cooking-competition show. And then there\u2019s Jessie Buckley as a woman possessed and trying to get literally reinvigorated. Here, everything this weekend, including a Harry Styles concert.<\/p>\n

Maggie Gyllenhaal\u2019s take on James Whale\u2019s The Bride of Frankenstein is manic, strange, and \u2026 something to, maybe, behold. Buckley stars as the Bride, revived by scientist Dr. Euphronious (Annette Bening) at the desperate behest of Frank (Christian Bale) in 1930s America. The pair embark on a Bonnie and Clyde\u2013esque adventure as they run from a couple New York detectives and a shadowy mafia gang from the Bride\u2019s past.<\/p>\n

Weisz plays an English professor at a small college who becomes ever more obsessed with a younger colleague (Leo Woodall). In the TV version of Julia May Jonas\u2019s novel, the wry first-person narration takes the form of Weisz\u2019s direct-to-camera address. Also featuring John Slattery as Weisz\u2019s husband, a fellow professor who has been accused of sexual misconduct. \u2014Kathryn VanArendonk<\/p>\n

The latest in Bill Lawrence\u2019s middle-aged-man-considers-his-life oeuvre, after Ted Lasso and Shrinking, this show has its 60-something author protagonist (Steve Carell) move to a college campus to help support his adult daughter (Charly Clive), a professor at the school \u2014K.V.A.<\/p>\n

On Sunday afternoon, Netflix is livestreaming Styles performing his new album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally., in Manchester \u2014 no overseas flight or overpriced concert ticket required. Styles will perform the entire album for the first time and hopefully have a better routine than whatever was going on at the BRIT Awards<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n Streaming Sunday, 3 p.m. ET\/12 p.m. PT\n <\/p>\n

Padma Lakshmi couldn\u2019t stay away from food TV for long, which is all the better for us. She\u2019s bringing her culinary knowledge and singular hosting presence to this show in which 16 highly decorated chefs \u2014 including two-time Top Chef winner Buddha Lo \u2014 battle it out for a $1 million prize. \u2014Roxana Hadadi\u00a0<\/p>\n

Adapted from Maggie O\u2019Farrell\u2019s novel of the same name, Paul Mescal plays the Bard in Hamnet<\/a>, while his co-star Buckley gives a stirring performance as Shakespeare\u2019s wife, Agnes, a strong-willed mother contending with unpredictable grief as they deal with the loss of their son, Hamnet. It\u2019s a performance that\u2019ll most likely grab her an Oscar<\/a> next week. The film is now available on Peacock alongside other Best Picture nominee Bugonia.<\/p>\n
