4 • February 9 - 15, 2020 • Brainerd Dispatch By Jessica Gosse TV Media WHAT'S NEW ON HULU "High Fidelity" Many people will be familiar with the romantic comedy "High Fidelity" (2000), which starred John Cusack as a reclusive, 30-something record store owner evaluating his past relationships and was based on the novel by Nick Hornby. On Friday, Feb. 14, this story gets a gender-flipped revival as it comes to Hulu in this new series. Zoe Kravitz ("Big Little Lies") stars this time as the cynical record store owner, Rob, and is joined by co-stars Jake Lacy ("Girls"), David H. Homes ("Mindhunter") and Da'Vine Joy Randolph ("People of Earth"). After running into her ex-boyfriend, Rob decides to re-examine her "Top 5 Most Memorable Heartbreaks" in an attempt to figure her life out and get over her ex. Whether you're single or in a relationship, this is the perfect choice to watch on Valen- tine's Day when it premieres. "The Other Guy" Season 2 Matt Okine ("The Future Machine") returns as radio host AJ Amon in Season 2 of this Australian comedy series premiering Friday, Feb. 14. Season 1 introduced us to AJ, his best friend, Stevie Nicholls (Harriet Dyer, "The InBetween"), and his longtime girlfriend, Olivia "Liv" Collins (Valene Kane, "The Fall"). When AJ discovers Liv has been cheating on him, his life implodes — his career falls apart, he is cut off from his best friend and he suddenly finds himself dating again. Season 2 sees AJ and Stevie begin to rebuild their friendship, but complica- tions arise when AJ starts a new rela- tionship and finds out Liv is pregnant with a baby that might be his. "Utopia Falls" On Friday, Feb. 14, the worlds of science fiction and modern musical theater collide in this new series. The show follows a group of teens living in the colony of New Babyl. They have been chosen to compete in a special performing arts competition. In this reimagined future, music, dance and art don't have the same meaning anymore, and when the teens stumble upon an archive of cultural relics, they begin to ques- tion everything they've been taught. "Utopia Falls" features the music of Grammy winners Alessia Cara, Ken- drick Lamar and the Roots, as well as iconic rappers the Notorious B.I.G. and Snoop Dogg. WHAT'S NEW ON NETFLIX "To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You" On Wednesday, Feb. 12, the ador- ably awkward Lara Jean Covey (Lana Condor, "Deadly Class") is back in this sequel to the popular 2018 film "To All the Boys I've Loved Before." The first film saw Lara Jean's younger sister send out private love letters Lara Jean had written to get over her crushes. As a result, Lara Jean en- tered into a fake relationship with Pe- ter (Noah Centineo, "The Fosters"), one of the recipients of her letters, in order to make his ex jealous and stop her best friend from thinking she's in love with him. Now, Lara Jean and Peter's relationship has gone from fake to real, and life seems great ... until John Ambrose McClaren (Jor- dan Fisher, "Liv and Maddie") shows up on Lara Jean's doorstep after receiving one of her love letters. "Love Is Blind" Whoever said that "love is blind" clearly did not live in a world with social media and dating apps. On Thursday, Feb. 13, celebrity couple Nick and Vanessa Lachey put this to the test in the premiere of their new reality dating series. The duo know a thing or two about love, having been together for 14 years and mar- ried for nearly 10. In "Love Is Blind," singles sign up to take part in dates that allow them to talk with, but never meet, their anonymous suitors, and at the end they must choose the person they have the strongest connection with and propose. Only after getting engaged will they get to see their soon-to-be life partner. Find out if age and looks really do make a difference when this reality series premieres just in time for Valentine's Day. "Narcos: Mexico" Season 2 On Thursday, Feb. 13, head back to Mexico as the DEA faces off against the Guadalajara Cartel in Season 2 of this spinoff series inspired by real events. Season 1 introduced Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo (Diego Luna, "Flatliners," 2017), the man who established the Guadalajara Cartel and modernized drug trading in Mexico, and follows the story of how he and Rafael Caro Quintero (Tenoch Huerta, "Blue Demon") unified various cartels in the 1980s. While Gallardo created an empire of drug trafficking, DEA agents Enrique "Kiki" Camarena (Michael Pena, "Gracepoint") and James Kuykendall (Matt Letscher, "DC's Legends of Tomorrow") worked to try to bring them down. Staying true to the case files of real events, Season 2 sees the dynamic between the cartels and the DEA change when Agent Walt Bres- lin (Scoot McNairy, "True Detective") arrives on the scene in the wake of the brutal murder of an agent and launches a massive homicide inves- tigation. Theresa Ruiz ("The House of Flowers") and Myra Hermosillo ("Ultimo 5") also star.
