‘Checkout’s super return, what’s up in ‘Widow’s Bay,’ Pacino's ‘Serpico’ makes a comeback

The series 'Widow’s Bay' just won 14 Emmys, breaking the record for most wins for a comedy, but if you don’t have Apple TV+, you might not have heard of it.

Checkout, a supermarket sitcom on KAN 11 and Netflix, has released its sixth season, featuring a "poetry slam" organized by Shira, the ambitious manager. Ammon, a cheap and fussy customer, plays the unlikely hero of the episode, staying true to his character. Meanwhile, Widow's Bay, a series that won 14 Emmys, has broken the comedy record for most wins.

The quirky hybrid of comedy and horror follows a New England island community cursed with supernatural events. Matthew Rhys' performance as Tom Loftis, the mayor, is praised, making the show appealing as both a workplace comedy and a workplace drama. Al Pacino's performance in Serpico, a true story about a police officer fighting corruption, is also highlighted, emphasizing his ability to deliver powerful performances despite knowing the ending.
