Superstore

This sitcom about a group of quirky employees at big-box store Cloud 9 is at the top of its game in its third season. It's reminiscent of The Office (but with worse employees), and the cast has never had more chemistry. (NBC, Thursdays, 8 p.m.)

Thor: Ragnarok

Director Taika Waititi breathes new life into the Marvel Cinematic Universe with a punchy script, vibrant visuals, and perhaps the franchise's most inspired stroke of casting genius to date: Cate Blanchett as Hela, the villainous (and fabulously costumed) Goddess of Death.

"Diane," Cam

Country music has no shortage of great songs about confronting your man's mistress, from Dolly Parton's "Jolene" to Loretta Lynn's "Fist City." Here, Cam flips the script with an irresistible, achingly human apology from the other woman that aims for the sweet spot between ABBA and Fleetwood Mac.

Pete Souza served as chief official White House photographer for all eight years of Barack Obama's presidency, with access that resulted in this gorgeously detailed visual biography. An Intimate Portrait captures the president in moments both intimately unguarded and infamously public.

SMILF

Episode 101

Mr. Robot alum Frankie Shaw created and stars on this refreshingly unfiltered Boston-set comedy that explores the good (a cute son!), the bad (dating is hard!), and the ugly (um, let's just say you'll see) of single motherhood. (Showtime, Sundays, 10 p.m.)

The Gifted

Five episodes in and this X-verse offering about a family on the run from a hostile anti-mutant government has consistently explored issues of identity without compromising its lively, inventive action. That balance of serious and showy is the series' own superpower. (Fox, Mondays, 9 p.m.)

Deadly Manners

A peculiar butler, a flirty maid, and a sketchy businessman. Everyone is a suspect in this Clue-like dark comedy about a dinner party disrupted by a murderous surprise. And much like the film version of the board game, this fun 10-episode podcast features a star-studded cast including Kristen Bell, LeVar Burton, and Denis O'Hare.

Batman writer Tom King and artist Mitch Gerads' mind-bending comic-book series, which follows superhero escape artist Mister Miracle (a.k.a. Scott Free), brings personality and moral complexity to a cosmic war between the forces of good and evil. It's by far the best comic on stands right now.
