Rejoice as \u201cNew Zealand\u2019s darkest and funniest comedy\u201d<\/a> and its hopelessly clueless teachers are back for another term of wildly-inappropriate but hilarious hijinks. The unscripted comedy, helmed by Jesse Griffin<\/a>, follows a cast of local comedians (Jackie van Beek, Jonny Brugh, Kura Forrester, Yvette Parsons and more) as they attempt (and fail) to educate their petty pupils. Joining the core cast is guest star and Hollywood heavyweight Taika Waititi, who riotously attempts to hijack his brother Ra\u2019s (Cohen Holloway) woeful woodworking lesson. Continuing to \u201cskewer New Zealand\u2019s school system, brilliantly and brutally,\u201d<\/a> Educators is a comedic class act.<\/p>\n The Chase New Zealand (TVNZ+, November 3) The Chase has become a national obsession in Aotearoa, with its iconic theme music ringing out across the motu daily, so it\u2019s high time Kiwis had the opportunity to put their trivia knowledge to the ultimate test. Over four high-wire episodes, 16 brave brainiacs must face-off against and outsmart The Governess (Anne Hegerty)<\/a> and The Supernerd (Issa Schultz) if they want to take home an eye-watering sum of cash. With the addition of a handful of obscure Kiwiana-themed questions, The Chase New Zealand is sure to make you shriek with delight and dismay.<\/p>\n Pluribus (Apple TV, November 7)<\/p>\n Vince Gilligan, the creator of the era-defining Breaking Bad and its spinoff prequel Better Call Saul, doesn\u2019t want to be \u201ca one-trick pony<\/a>\u201c. The secretive sci-fi drama Pluribus, his first major project since farewelling Walter White and Saul Goodman, is his most ambitious undertaking yet. Set in New Mexico and starring Rhea Seehorn as a best-selling historical romance author, Gilligan imagines an alternate reality where an unexplained virus has made all of humanity content and optimistic. Seemingly the only one immune to this perturbing pathogen, it\u2019s up to Seehorn, the most miserable person on earth, to save the world from happiness. Don\u2019t miss this \u201csingular vision of a tedious utopia<\/a>\u201c.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Life of Chuck (AroVision, November 5)<\/p>\n Best known for the hair-raising The Haunting of Hill House, director Mike Flanagan does an about turn with the fantasy drama The Life of Chuck. Depicting the formative moments in the life of accountant Charles \u201cChuck\u201d Krantz (Tom Hiddleston), the adaptation of Stephen King\u2019s novella of the same name, wears its heart on its sleeve, earnestly encouraging you to embrace \u201cthe inevitability of death and the wonder of what comes before.\u201d<\/a> Taking home the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival People\u2019s Choice Award, The Life of Chuck might just make you \u201cshed a life-affirming tear or two.\u201d Earth Oven (Neon, November 5)<\/p>\n Famed for his roles in Once Were Warriors and Star Wars, Aotearoa acting icon Temuera Morrison<\/a> hits the road as the host of Earth Oven, a globe-trotting, gastronomic docuseries. From Mexico and Jordan to Chile and Hawaii, the ever-peckish Morrison is visiting indigenous communities around the world to learn, experience, and taste how earth ovens have shaped cultures and cuisines. The actor may not be a world-renowned chef, but it\u2019s his unfiltered, down-to-earth charm that gives this docuseries its \u201cspecial sauce.\u201d<\/a> With shades of Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown, and Ugly Delicious, Earth Oven is bound to make your stomach rumble.<\/p>\n Pick of the Flicks: Frankenstein (Netflix, November 7)<\/p>\n Helmed by the Oscar-winning Guillermo del Toro, and starring Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi and Mia Goth, it\u2019s taken a lifetime for the director of Pan\u2019s Labyrinth and The Shape of Water to reanimate Mary Shelley\u2019s classic novel. Del Toro\u2019s dream project opens with a chilling prologue: onboard a ship entombed in an Arctic ice field is Victor Frankenstein (Isaac), whose raging creature, the unrecognisable Elordi, has pursued him to the ends of the earth seeking revenge. Described as a \u201cbreathtaking coup\u201d<\/a> and a \u201cmonstrously beautiful melodrama,\u201d<\/a> Del Toro\u2019s Frankenstein is a bloodcurdling wonder.<\/p>\n The rest<\/p>\n Netflix<\/p>\n Dr. Seuss\u2019s The Sneetches (November 3)<\/p>\n Squid Game: The Challenge S2 (November 4)<\/p>\n Leanne Morgan: Unspeakable Things (November 4)<\/p>\n Just Alice (November 5)<\/p>\n Heweliusz (November 5)<\/p>\n Death by Lightning (November 6)<\/p>\n The Vince Staples Show S2 (November 6)<\/p>\n The Bad Guys: Breaking In (November 6)<\/p>\n As You Stood By (November 7)<\/p>\n Groom & Two Brides (November 7)<\/p>\n Mango (November 7)<\/p>\n Frankenstein (November 7)<\/p>\n Baramulla (November 7)<\/p>\n TVNZ+<\/p>\n Educators S4 (November 1)<\/p>\n The Chase New Zealand (November 3)<\/p>\n St. Denis Medical (November 4)<\/p>\n All Her Fault (November 7)<\/p>\n Notorious: Happy Face Killer & The Cleveland Stranger (November 9)<\/p>\n Malpractice S2 (November 9)<\/p>\n The Hack (November 9)<\/p>\n ThreeNow<\/p>\n Becoming Elizabeth (November 9)<\/p>\n Neon<\/p>\n The Ballad of Davy Crockett (November 3)<\/p>\n I Love LA (November 3)<\/p>\n Teen Titans Go!
