Best new Netflix shows August 27, 2022

Lost Ollie

The live-action/computer-animated series Lost Ollie is now available on Netflix. This series is based on William Joyce’s children’s book Ollie’s Odyssey. 

The story tells of a lost toy rabbit who seeks to find the little boy who lost him. This limited series is a heartwarming tale that most of the family can enjoy. It is rated TV-PG, meaning parental guidance is suggested for language and fear.

The cast for this series includes Gina Rodriguez, Jake Johnson, Tim Blake Nelson, Mary J. Blige, Jonathan Groff, and Kesler Talbot.

Mo

Season 1 of the Netflix original series Mo, created by Mo Amer (The Vagabond, Ramy) and Ramy Youssef (Ramy), features eight episodes.

The series follows Mo Najjar (Amer), who is torn between two cultures and three languages as a Palestinian refugee trying to secure US citizenship for himself and his family. This heartfelt comedy is loosely based on Amer’s real-life experiences, where he sometimes laughs the pain away as he navigates getting ahead.

Also starring Teresa Ruiz, Farah Bsieso, Omar Elba, and Tobe Nwigwe.

Partner Track 

The newly released Partner Track is another series based on a novel, this one on Helen Wan’s book of the same title from 2013.

The story tells of first-generation Korean-American Ingrid Yun, the first attorney in her family. She works at Parsons Valentine, an old-school but prestigious law firm where she fights her way through all the challenges that come her way as she attempts to become a partner. While working hard to make her dreams come true, will she have any room left for love?
