Looking for a Dreamy Watch this Weekend?
‘Nona and Her Daughters’
When to watch: Now, exclusively on MHz Choice.
Nona, a 70-year-old Parisian sex educator and mother of adult triplet daughters, finds herself unexpectedly pregnant. What’s more surprising is that her boyfriend is not the father. Spanning nine half-hour episodes, “Nona” (in French with subtitles) combines whimsy, sorrow, quirkiness, and thoughtfulness. And let’s not forget about the mesmerizing wallpaper! Magical realism is a rarity on TV, but it is delicately and judiciously employed in this series, though sometimes disrupted by the characters’ constant failure to silence their phones.
Can’t Sit Still for Three Hours?
‘Telemarketers’
When to watch: The first two episodes are available on Max. Episode 3 airs Sunday at 10 p.m. on HBO.
This gripping three-part documentary delves into the dark side of the telemarketing industry. While it maintains a compelling journalistic through line, its real strength lies in the intimate and vibrant portraits it paints. “Telemarketers” began when director Sam Lipman-Stern started filming his co-workers at a New Jersey call center, featuring Patrick J. Pespas, a star salesman and serious drug user who exudes charisma on screen. The project evolved as Lipman-Stern relocated to Los Angeles, retaining its admirable rawness in contrast to the formulaic nonfiction shows saturating the current landscape.
Craving White-Collar Scandals for Four Hours?
‘Wanted: The Escape of Carlos Ghosn’
When to watch: Premieres on Friday, only on Apple TV+.
For those who prefer a glossier documentary experience, this captivating story of automotive industry executive Carlos Ghosn is a must-watch. Ghosn, the former head of Nissan and Renault, was arrested in Japan for financial misconduct. After enduring what he deemed unjust treatment, he managed a daring escape orchestrated by a former Green Beret. “Wanted” masterfully presents the outrageously wild saga with lucid explanations from experts. If you relish high-end moral ambiguity, this is the perfect choice.
