The Good Cop (TV-PG)
Who's the Good Cop? Tony Danza plays a dazzling, dapper-but-disgraced detective on probation and living with his 'by-the-book' son. Josh Grobin, is the NYPD stickler whose motto, “You break one rule, they all break," is in direct odds with his father's “rules were meant to be broken" attitude, especially when it comes to solving crime in the Big Apple.
The Good Cop is a fun watch for the family with young-teens or anyone who enjoys a devilish Tony Danza.

Kim's Convenience (TV-14)
One of Canada's most popular comedies, the incredible cast offers a complex take on the ups and downs of a Korean-Canadian family. The Kims' lives are centered around their corner store — a business which anchors their community yet fractured their family. The first two seasons are a humorous exploration of how love and communities grow and rebuild, with warmth and heart.

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (TV-14)
Kiernan Shipka stars as the eponymous Sabrina, the familiar Baxter High School student from Greendale. But this time, she's battling a new set of mad men: vengeful demons and angry warlocks.
More creepy chills than the campy comedy you might recall from the beloved sitcom; perky Sabrina Spellman is still set upon by teenage concerns and malicious other-worldly forces, aided by her two stoic aunts. Season one is currently available, as is the bonus 'holiday horror' movie, “A Midwinter's Tale," which dropped mid-December.
Sabrina is slated to return in April 2019 and, thanks to an overwhelming reception, has been renewed for seasons three and four.
