I haven’t been able to stop talking about Palm Royale since I first watched an advanced screener of the Apple TV+ series last fall, so I’m thrilled it’s almost out in the world for you to see (only a few more days, as it premieres this Wednesday, March 20).
The cast alone is worth signing up for Apple TV+ if you don’t already subscribe. For a refresher, it stars Kristen Wiig (brilliant in this role), Laura Dern, Allison Janney, Carol Burnett, Ricky Martin, Josh Lucas, Leslie Bibb, Kaia Gerber, Julia Duffy, Mindy Cohn, Bruce Dern, and more. They could all sit there and say nothing, and I’d still watch.
But thanks to a hilarious, off-the-wall scripts from showrunner, executive producer, and writer Abe Sylvia, all the aforementioned actors get to do their thing, and boy do they go for it. Add in the most glorious costumes, stunning hair and makeup, and breathtaking visuals, and you have the most exciting new series of the year. (Also, might I add, all the style and decor inspiration you need for summer.)
Until Palm Royale premieres, we have the newest episode of The Bachelor on Monday night, which is the Women Tell All. Aside from the WTA that aired during The Golden Bachelor‘s inaugural season, I’ve never been too keen on these standalone specials that drudge up all the old news drama, but the good news is we’ll finally see the conclusion of last week’s episode. That means we’ll see more of Joey and Kelsey’s conversation as well as who he’s going to pick for the final two. My money’s on Kelsey and Daisy—but then again, ABC keeps saying if we think we know what happens, we don’t. So…stay tuned, as they say.
If you’re looking for something new to watch tonight, then I highly recommend the PBS Masterpiece series Alice & Jack, which stars Andrea Riseborough and Domhnall Gleeson. It’s a fascinating and frustrating case study in relationships, and I was all in after the first episode. Meanwhile, Call the Midwife also returns tonight (season 13!), so PBS is truly where it’s at this Sunday evening.
