Atlanta: Robbin' Season

Credit: Illustration by John Ritter for EW

The Drought-lanta is over! Donald Glover’s Emmy-winning comedy about two cousins rising through Atlanta’s rap scene scores with its ambitious second season, with nothing lost of its wonderfully surreal humor in the 16 months it’s been gone. (FX, Thursdays, 10 p.m.)

Good Girls

NBC’s devilish new dramedy follows three women (Christina Hendricks, Mae Whitman, Retta) in desperate need of money who decide to rob a grocery store. The result is an instantly captivating show that’s hilarious and moving as it deals with motherhood, friendship, and the occasional toy gun. (NBC, Mondays, 10 p.m.)

Educated by Tara Westover

Credit: Random House

One of seven siblings born to survivalist parents, Westover explores her frayed familial bonds in this powerful memoir. Her extraordinary journey to attain independence — which begins when she enters a classroom for the first time at 17 — is beyond inspiring and gives us major Glass Castle vibes.

Nation of Two by Vance Joy

If the baby­-faced Aussie behind 2014’s viral ditty “Riptide” was feeling pressure when it came to cutting his second LP, it doesn’t show. Rather than chasing hits, Joy focused on crafting piercing vignettes of young love and emotional restlessness — and the results absolutely thrill.

UnREAL

Everlasting’s gender­-flipped experiment goes off the rails fast—the “Suitress” actually wants true love!—but at least UnREAL has returned to its scathingly satirical roots with season 3. Consider it a positive first impres­sion. (Lifetime, Mondays, 10 p.m.)

Black Panther

There’s no shortage of superhero movies out there, but none is as imaginative or boundary-pushing as Black Panther (Feb. 16). Marvel and director Ryan Coogler give us beautiful people, costumes, landscapes, and cityscapes—plus provocative heroes and villains—in a story that will make you wish Wakanda were a real place.

The Party

The best play you’ll see all year is this movie that operates in strict one-set parameters, with veteran filmmaker Sally Potter expertly presenting a dinner gathering as a philosophical battleground where Patricia Clarkson and Kristin Scott Thomas crackle most among a delicious seven­-person cast.
