The Audacity to Nobody Wants This: the seven best shows to stream this week

Succession writer Jonathan Glatzer returns with a smart, spicy and vicious send-up of tech bros, while Joanne and Noah hit a new relationship milestone in Nobody Wants This

The changing mood music around tech bros makes creating fiction about them tricky. Jonathan Glatzer’s comedy oscillates between humour and horror: it centres on Billy Magnussen’s CEO Duncan Park who, in trademark Palo Alto style, is poisonous, clueless yet somehow unfeasibly rich. He inhabits a world of therapy, fraudulent stock pumping, fiendishly evil development apps and executives who won’t give their offspring smartphones (“arms dealers don’t give their kids landmines”). Glatzer wrote for Succession and The Audacity attempts a similar tone: it doesn’t quite hit those heights but in terms of atrocious people wallowing in their own moral filth, it’s comparably spicy and vicious.

That floating poo was far too symbolic! It’s the TV letdowns of the year

From Carrie Bradshaw cleaning up mess in And Just Like That to Kim Kardashian’s zero-star clanger and Bonnie Blue’s sexcapades, here are the biggest duds of 2025

Where to begin with the love/hate Sex and the City spin-off? The show was plagued with woeful writing, cringe-inducing character development (justice for Miranda!) and just 71 seconds of fan-favourite Samantha. But for a moment there, as the third series started, it looked like And Just Like That had finally hit its stride. Then came an episode all about Seema’s natural deodorant. No wonder creator Michael Patrick King announced that this would be the final series. It ended on a bum note; the closeup of Miranda’s toilet flooded with poo was just way too symbolic. Still, there’s no denying that fans have had a hoot dissecting every single “wtf?” episode.
