New on Netflix

"Flaked" Season 1

Will Arnett and "Arrested Development" creator Mitch Hurwitz should really be focusing on giving us that new season of "Arrested," but -- in the meantime -- watch Arnett in this new original comedy series they created for Netflix. Eight half-hour episodes are coming out March 11. Here's the synopsis: "Flaked is a dry, slice-of-life comedy about Chip, a celebrated long-time resident of the insular world of Venice, California who falls for the object of his best friend's fascination. Soon the tangled web of half-truths and semi-bullsh-t that underpins his all-important image and sobriety begins to unravel. Will Arnett plays Chip, a man doing his honest best to stay one step ahead of his own lies."

Check out the trailer:

"Netflix Presents: The Characters": Season 1
Eight up-and-coming comedians each wrote and starred in their own 30-minute shows, which were then packaged for this Netflix original series, which arrives March 11. The featured comedians are Lauren Lapkus, Kate Berlant, Dr. Brown, Paul W. Downs, John Early, Tim Robinson, Natasha Rothwell, and Henry Zebrowski. In less adult-humor news, Netflix is also using March 11 to release the second seasons of two original kids's shows: "Popples" and "Dinotrux."

"Shelter"
Paul Bettany directed his wife Jennifer Connelly and non-wife Anthony Mackie in this 2015 drama about two homeless people in New York City. This is a story of loss, love, and redemption, and it may feel like heavy lifting at times, but it's trying to build empathy for the more than 50,000 homeless people living on the streets and in shelters of NYC. So check out the film starting March 12.

TV Worth Watching

"Of Kings and Prophets" (Tuesday on ABC at 10 p.m.)

OF KINGS AND PROPHETS - An epic biblical saga of faith, ambition and betrayal as told through the eyes of the battle-weary King Saul, the resentful prophet Samuel and the resourceful young shepherd David -- all on a collision course with destiny that will change the world. (ABC/Trevor Adeline)RAY WINSTONE, SIMONE KESSELL

ABC's new biblical drama looks, at least on the surface, like it wants to be a more religious network version of "Game of Thrones." Will it succeed? Ray Winstone stars as Saul, first king of the Israelites, with Olly Rix as David, the young shepherd who becomes the next king, with Mohammad Bakri as the prophet Samuel. Apparently this is a very sexy telling of the Bible and showrunner Chris Brancato told The Hollywood Reporter that some of the more adult material may be cut for broadcast but live online in episodes on ABC's website. "This story is an Old Testament [one that's] violent [and] sex-drenched," he said. "It's one of the world's first soap operas. ... You will watch a show that is tasteful but that also tells the story you can read if you want to pick up the Bible." He added, "We're trying to tell the story that is in 1 and 2 Samuel, which has plenty of sex and violence on its own."

Here's an extended trailer to get you prepared:

"The Carmichael Show" (Wednesday on NBC at 10 p.m.)
Season 2 of Jerrod Carmichael's sitcom premieres March 9, with back-to-back half-hour episodes following a special two-hour edition of "The Voice." In the first episode Season 2, "Everybody Cheats," Cynthia (Loretta Devine) sees her Reverend with someone who is not his wife, so the family comes together to discuss cheating and consequences.

"American Crime" (Wednesday on ABC at 10 p.m.)
The powerful second season of "American Crime" ends March 9, so now would be a good time to get yourself caught up, if you haven't already been following this complex, compelling story every week. Season 2 -- starring an A-team led by Felicity Huffman, Timothy Hutton, Lili Taylor, Regina King, Connor Jessup, Hope Davis, and Trevor Jackson -- follows a working class student who accuses several members of a private school's championship basketball team of sexually assaulting him. You want hot-button issues? This season addresses male rape, racism, cyberbullying, homophobia, and anything else you can think of. Why aren't more people talking about it?
