“Trying” (season 5) — returns to Nikki and Jason after they have finally built the noisy, imperfect family life they once feared they would never have, only for that fragile balance to be shaken when Kat, Princess and Tyler’s biological mother, unexpectedly appears at their door. What should be an ordinary new chapter of school routines, work pressures, teenage moods, and exhausted parenting quickly becomes a more complicated test of love, security, and what it really means to belong. Nikki tries to stay generous and steady, even as Kat’s arrival awakens every fear that motherhood can still be questioned or taken away, while Jason attempts to keep everyone calm with the same awkward optimism that usually makes things better and worse at once. Princess is old enough to ask painful questions about identity, loyalty, and the family story she has been given, while Tyler responds to the disruption in quieter, more unpredictable ways. Around them, Karen, Scott, Vic, Freddy, and the wider circle of friends and relatives bring comic interference, emotional advice, and their own messy versions of adulthood, reminding Nikki and Jason that parenting never stops being a shared embarrassment. As old insecurities, adoption wounds, biological ties, and everyday chaos collide, the season keeps the show’s gentle humor while asking whether a family built through choice can survive the arrival of someone tied by blood. “Trying” (season 5) becomes a warm, bittersweet comedy about parenthood, fear, patience, and the difficult reassurance that love is not made weaker just because it has to make room for the truth.

“No Other Choice” (2025) — centers on Man-su, a veteran paper-manufacturing specialist who believes he has secured the perfect middle-class life with his wife Miri, their two children, two dogs, and the family home he worked for years to buy. That confidence collapses when the company he served for twenty-five years abruptly dismisses him with the polite explanation that there is “no other choice”. Man-su promises to find another position within three months, but more than a year of interviews, humiliations, and temporary retail work leaves him facing debt, the possible loss of his house, and the terrifying idea that his skills no longer matter. When Moon Paper refuses even to consider him, he becomes convinced that the problem is not his qualifications but the existence of other applicants. He creates a false recruitment process to identify the strongest competitors, studying their careers, families, habits, and vulnerabilities before deciding to manufacture the vacancy he needs by removing them one by one. Yet Man-su is neither a natural killer nor a reliable strategist, and each carefully imagined plan becomes a grotesque mixture of panic, coincidence, domestic secrecy, and dark comedy. As Miri tries to protect the family and understand her husband’s strange behavior, his pursuit of employment turns into a brutal test of masculinity, status, and self-worth. “No Other Choice” (2025) becomes a savage black comedy-thriller about unemployment, corporate cruelty, and a respectable man convincing himself that murder is an unavoidable step in the job market.

The trail leads to billionaire arms broker Greg Simmonds, a charming, vain middleman whose love of celebrity becomes the team’s best route inside his heavily protected world. To get close to him, they recruit reluctant Hollywood star Danny Francesco, threatening him with embarrassing secrets before sending him into an undercover role far more dangerous than anything in his films. Moving through Madrid, Cannes, Turkey, luxury yachts, guarded villas, and high-profile parties, Fortune balances surveillance, infiltration, car chases, and gunfights with Sarah’s improvised hacking and Danny’s increasingly convincing performance.

“Ann Droid” (season 1) — opens in 2029, when recently widowed Sue is determined to remain independent even as her only son Michael prepares to move out once again and repair his troubled marriage. Worried about leaving her alone, he buys Linda, a second-hand AnnDroid Z58/100 Basic Eldercare Robot designed to monitor health, provide companionship, and reduce pressure on human carers. Sue immediately hates her new housemate: Linda is rigid, painfully literal, socially inept, and so overattentive that simple errands become public disasters. Yet Sue soon discovers that the robot’s blunt efficiency can also settle old scores, complete jobs Michael has avoided, and push her beyond the routines that have kept grief safely contained. Their reluctant partnership carries them through chaos at Eileen’s charity shop, an awkward family visit, a trip to the seaside to scatter ashes, a dangerous funfair ride, and a camping expedition beneath a meteor shower. Around them, Michael’s unstable home life, Renee’s demands, and the unpredictable company of Eileen and Tom expose how lonely Sue has become since David’s death.

“Rick and Morty” (season 9) — throws Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith back into another run of unstable sci-fi chaos, where the family’s attempts to act even slightly normal are constantly derailed by portals, cosmic grudges, and adventures that turn dumb ideas into universe-threatening disasters. After years of multiverse trauma, Rick is still trying to pretend he has everything under control, while Morty keeps drifting further from the role of terrified sidekick and into someone more willing to question, resist, or make terrible choices of his own. The season sends them through strange new corners of space and reality, from the long-promised madness of Boob World and a parking-lot battle outside Trader Joe’s to sentient furniture, alien summer camp, and bizarre domestic crises that drag Beth, Space Beth, Jerry, and Summer into Rick’s orbit whether they want it or not. As every mission mutates from joke to catastrophe, the Smith family is forced to deal with old resentment, shifting power inside the household, and the uncomfortable truth that Rick’s genius rarely saves anyone without creating a bigger mess first. With its mix of brutal jokes, cosmic absurdity, family dysfunction, and sudden emotional turns, “Rick and Morty” (season 9) becomes another sharp, unpredictable chapter about control, dependence, growing up, and the terrifying freedom of realizing that even infinite realities cannot stop your family from being your biggest problem.

“Harry Wild” (season 5) — returns to Dublin with retired literature professor turned private investigator Harry Wild facing a new run of murders that feel stranger, more theatrical, and more personal than the usual cozy cases she and Fergus Reid stumble into. The season opens when new state pathologist Pierce Kennedy notices that several supposedly accidental deaths share an eerie connection: matching musical-note tattoos tied to Debussy’s “Clair de Lune.” His discovery pulls Harry and Fergus into a case where medicine, music, memory, and staged tragedy begin to overlap, while Garda DS Jordan McDonald and Charlie Wild try to keep the investigation from becoming another one of Harry’s rule-breaking adventures. Pierce’s arrival also changes the rhythm of Harry’s world, bringing professional friction, quick banter, and a spark that unsettles her just as she and Fergus are both dealing with the emotional bruises left by recent heartbreak.

“Jerry & Marge Go Large” (2022) — centers on Jerry Selbee, a recently retired factory worker in small-town Michigan whose gift for numbers leaves him restless until he notices a mathematical flaw in the WinFall lottery. The game’s unusual prize-distribution rule means that, under the right conditions, buying thousands of tickets can produce a predictable profit rather than a blind gamble. After testing the idea in secret, Jerry brings his wife Marge into the plan, and what begins with bundles of tickets spread across their kitchen soon grows into long drives to Massachusetts, exhausting hours of sorting numbers, and a community investment group involving friends like Bill, Howard, and Shirley. Instead of chasing luxury, the Selbees use their winnings to repair struggling businesses, restore local traditions, support their children, and give their fading town a reason to feel hopeful again. Their quiet system becomes harder to protect when Tyler, an ambitious Harvard student who has discovered the same loophole, treats the lottery as a competition and begins using aggressive tactics to control the game.

After a tragedy on the course forces him to confront how far he has fallen, Lonnie launches an improbable comeback aimed at completing the career Grand Slam and earning another place on the PGA Tour. His new caddie Sam feeds the confidence that has always been both his greatest weapon and his most exhausting flaw, guiding him through qualifiers, media appearances, training disasters, and tournaments where every swing becomes part of the spectacle. The challenge turns painfully personal when Lonnie’s estranged son Lance emerges as one of golf’s rising stars, carrying years of resentment toward a father who treated fame like a family responsibility.

With Theo pushed into life as a stay-at-home father and Ivy’s career expanding faster than either imagined, admiration gives way to envy, domestic negotiations become personal battles, and every old sacrifice is counted again with sharper resentment. Their friends watch the supposedly perfect couple turn dinners, parenting choices, holidays, therapy sessions, and the construction of an elaborate dream home into opportunities to compete, humiliate, and prove who has contributed more to the family. Even their children’s growing independence removes the distraction that once kept the marriage functioning, leaving Theo and Ivy alone with ambitions they no longer know how to share.
