Hi, {{first_name | friend}}!
Last week, the Pix team chatted about our favorite cozy TV shows for fall. There were some obvious picks (Gilmore Girls, The Great British Bake Off, and Scrubs) but also some deep cuts (Detectorists, The Adventures of Pete & Pete, and Bee and PuppyCat). For me, it's gotta be Freaks and Geeks. But what about you? What's your go-to cozy fall comfort show? Let us know by replying to this email!
Speaking of comfort shows, the latest Worth the Chat dives into one that has gone from classic suburban wine-mom TV to culturally cool again: Dancing with the Stars. With Season 35 arriving next Tuesday, Meredith gives a crash course on the show's two decades of lore and everything you need to know.
But if dancing isn't your thing, don't worry, there's plenty more to watch this week. Keep reading to discover the biggest mid-week premieres and a wild new Elizabeth Holmes documentary trailer.
Happy streaming,
John

The Drop: A Snowfall Saga
Streaming on Hulu
In a rapidly changing ‘90s L.A., the crack epidemic is giving way to a new cultural force: West Coast rap. Gail Bean and Isaiah John return as Wanda and Leon in a Snowfall spin-off where music, ambition, and street politics collide.
Band of Brothers: Legacy
Streaming on HBO Max
Widely regarded as one of the greatest miniseries ever made, Band of Brothers is finally getting a behind-the-scenes documentary. In honor of the show’s 25th anniversary, the cast reunites to explore unseen archival footage and the series’ lasting cultural resonance. Arriving just two days before 9/11 Day of Remembrance, it’s an especially timely tribute to the brave men and women who sacrifice for our country.
