What's New on TV, Netflix Streaming, Digital, and DVD/Blu-ray This Week: December 28-January 3
At a loss for what to watch this week? From new DVDs and Blu-rays, to what's streaming on Netflix, we've got you covered.
New on DVD and Blu-ray
"Mozart in the Jungle" (Amazon)
Gael Garcia Bernal returns as maestro Rodrigo in the second season of Amazon's New York Symphony dramedy. "Mozart" recently picked up two Golden Globe nominations -- for Best Television Series - Musical or Comedy, and Best Performance by an Actor in a Musical or Comedy. Bernal also won the Imagen Award for Best Actor on Television, so consider streaming both Season 1 and Season 2 to catch up on the buzz.
"Nurse Jackie"
There's really no better way to spend New Year's Eve than binge-watching all seven seasons of "Nurse Jackie." Seriously, it's perfect for resolutions -- after you're done watching Edie Falco's drug-addicted nurse Jackie Peyton, you'll know exactly what you SHOULDN'T do in 2016. Netflix has Seasons 1-7 as of December 31, so strap in for a bumpy ride.
"Downton Abbey" (Sunday on PBS at 9 p.m.)
It's the beginning of the end. The sixth and final season of "Downton Abbey" begins in the U.S. on January 3. How will they torture poor Edith this time? You know when they say not everyone will get a happy ending they probably mean Edith -- and maybe poor Anna again. Mary will be fine, of course, even though she doesn't deserve it. #TeamEdith
"Galavant" (Sunday on ABC at 8 p.m.)
The very best Python-esque musical comedy on television returns for its second season this weekend. There are only 10 episodes airing over five weeks, so it's not a huge time commitment, but every loopy minute is must-see. Bonus for "Downton" fans: This show has Hugh Bonneville, too!
New Year's Eve (Thursday on NBC, FOX, ABC starting at 8 p.m.)
If you feel like staying home on New Year's Eve, there are several options for your viewing pleasure. Ryan Seacrest has Carrie Underwood, Jimmy Buffett, One Direction, Taylor Swift, and many others in the overly titled "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2016" which starts at 8 p.m. on ABC. Over on FOX, "Pitbull's New Year's Revolution" also starts at 8 p.m. with Puff Daddy, Austin Mahone, Jordin Sparks, and more. And NBC has stars of "The Voice," of course, with Carson Daly, Gwen Stefani, and Andy Cohen getting the party started around 10 p.m. on "New Year's Eve With Carson Daly."
