“Like a Dragon” based on the legendary game “Yakuza”: set in a fictional entertainment district called Kamurocho. Comprised of three parts, “Tokyo Vice,” “Pachinko,” and “Grand Theft Auto,” the program intersects two time lines.

“Samwan Samwadi” may possibly be one of the best shows you haven't seen. The show follows Sam (Bridget Everett) in Manhattan, Kansas, who is upset over the death of her sister.

To be honest, when “Agatha All Along” was announced, I wasn't sure who it was for. Yes, Kathryn Hahn was wonderful as the witch Agatha Harkness in Wander Vision. But was it necessary to explore this character further?
But after watching the first few episodes, I will freely admit that the show is good. So be sure to watch Episode 7 this Wednesday on Disney Plus. If you haven't seen it yet, don't worry, there's plenty of time to go down the witching path and find out why this spin-off is worth watching.
Episode 7 premieres Wednesday, October 23 at 9 p.m. ET on Disney Plus

Season 6 is the show's final season, and the season premiere features a fifth vampire roommate, Jerry.
It premieres on FX on Monday, October 21 at 10 p.m. ET (via Sling). New episodes stream on Hulu the following day.

If you haven't seen this show yet, you should check out season 4, which is available for free on Pluto TV. Otherwise, tune in this week for the premiere of Season 5, as the crew of the Cerritos begins their final journey on the small screen.
