Deli Boys
Dropping its entire 6-episode sophomore season right in time for the weekend, Deli Boys remains one of the smartest, most frantically paced dark comedies on TV.
This dark, fast-paced crime comedy follows a pair of pampered Pakistani-American brothers whose lives are upended when their convenience store magnate father suddenly dies. Left to pick up the pieces, they discover his straight-laced business was a front for a secret criminal underworld.
Kumail Nanjiani and Andrew Rannells as guest stars just dial the hilarity and the underworld danger up to an absolute eleven.

Spider-Noir
After originally voicing Spider-Noir in the Spider-Verse, Nicolas Cage stars in his first major live-action television lead. This stylized Marvel spin-off follows Ben Reilly, an aging, down-on-his-luck private investigator in 1930s Depression-era New York. Forced to confront his past as a masked vigilante, he is pulled back into a dark web of street-level crime and corruption.
Viewers can stream the entire series in either full color or classic black-and-white to make their own unique experience.
