“Pop Culture Danger!” Season 1
Start streaming: Dec 4th

“Saturday Night Live” star Colin Jost hosts this “Jeopardy!” spin-off, which follows the basic format of the original quiz show with a few twists. Instead of three individual participants, three teams of three compete against each other in each game. Teams tackle clues that largely eschew history, geography and high art, instead delving into memes, films, television, sports and modern pop songs. In addition to Daily Doubles, each round includes a Triple Play with three answers – one for each team member. Plus, the season is one big tournament where viewers can root for their favorites as they make their way to the final.

“The Sticky One”
Start streaming: Dec 6th

Loosely based on an infamous Canadian maple syrup robbery, this crime comedy miniseries stars Margo Martindale as Ruth, a farmer who takes over the syrup tapping business when her husband is hospitalized and runs afoul of the powerful trade organization in the process leads the industry. To save her country and get revenge, Ruth teams up with a not-quite-reformed gangster (Chris Diamantopoulos) and a camp guard (Guillaume Cyr) to steal barrels from the national syrup reserve. “The Sticky,” created by Brian Donovan and Ed Herro, finds the dark humor in this crazy plan; But it’s also an understated portrait of a rural Canada populated by eccentrics and petty bureaucrats.

“Secret Level” Season 1
Start streaming: Dec 10

Each episode of this animated anthology was inspired by a different video game, borrowing concepts and characters from titles like Pac-Man, Armored Core, Spelunky, Warhammer 40,000 and more. “Secret Level” was created by Tim Miller – who has some experience with this sort of thing, having previously created the Netflix anthology “Love, Death & Robots” – and features an all-star cast including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Keanu Reeves and Temuera Morrison , Kevin Hart and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje. While each installment takes a different approach, series lead director Dave Wilson gives each a similar CGI sheen, aiming for a photorealistic rather than cartoonish look.
