The Muppet Show to Is It Cake? Valentines: the seven best shows to stream this week

For those looking for a dose of nostalgia this Valentine's Day, The Muppet Show is back on Disney+ with its first-ever revival special, expertly juggling anarchic energy and star-studded cameos. The show's irrepressible host Mikey Day ensures that the proceedings are consistently hilarious, even if some may find it difficult to pinpoint who exactly the special's intended audience might be.

Across the pond, Netflix is serving up another documentary that's sure to generate a lot of buzz: The Investigation of Lucy Letby. Given the shocking nature of the crimes for which she was convicted and the numerous unanswered questions surrounding her case, it's little surprise that there will be plenty of documentaries exploring this story in the coming years.

Mo Gilligan brings his trademark observational comedy to Netflix with In the Movement, a solid but gentle standup special that showcases his ability to find humor in everyday situations. The British comic has been making waves across the pond and is now rewarding fans with his first-ever US special.

Is It Cake? Valentines is another Netflix offering that's guaranteed to make you smile – or at least giggle uncontrollably. The show's irrepressible host Mikey Day delivers a typically hilarious take on Valentine's Day, featuring cakes, romance, and plenty of laughs along the way.

Arctic Circle takes viewers on a journey into the heart of Finnish crime drama, with this latest season distinguishing itself from its competitors through its offbeat taste for the bizarre. Police chief Nina Kautsalo is once again tasked with unraveling a baffling mystery that expands to include everything from space exploration to international terrorism.

Prime Video has just released Finding Harmony: A King's Vision, an intimate documentary exploring the lifelong commitment of late Queen Elizabeth II's son Charles III to promoting environmental sustainability via The King's Foundation. Narrated by Kate Winslet, this carefully choreographed affair positions Charles as a maverick in the face of pressure from vested interests.

Last but certainly not least, there's Channel 4 with Arctic Circle, a show that truly stands out from its counterparts through its willingness to go where others fear to tread – space exploration, terrorism and more. This season takes viewers on an unmissable ride through the darker corners of human nature.
 
I'm telling you, this is all just too convenient πŸ€”. First, The Muppet Show comes back on Disney+, and it's got Mikey Day as the host? That's like them trying to distract us from something πŸ€‘. And have you noticed how they're always putting out these "specials" and documentaries around the same time? It's like they want us to get caught up in all this nostalgia and entertainment, while something bigger is brewing beneath the surface πŸ”.

And don't even get me started on Arctic Circle 🚨. This show is like a window into the darker corners of our minds, but is it really just about crime dramas? Or is there more to it than that? I mean, what's with all these references to space exploration and international terrorism? It's like they're trying to prepare us for something... or someone 😏.
 
omg, i'm so down for the muppet show revival πŸ€£πŸŽ‰ it's been ages since i've watched that stuff and mikey day as host is just perfect 🀩 i need to know what happened to kermit tho πŸ˜‚
 
The Muppet Show revival special is gonna be lit πŸŽ‰πŸ‘½! I mean, who wouldn't want to watch Kermit and Miss Piggy bring the funny? But seriously, I'm excited to see Mo Gilligan's standup special on Netflix - his observational comedy always cracks me up πŸ˜‚. And Arctic Circle, man... that show is like nothing else out there 🀯. Channel 4 really takes risks with its storytelling. As for The Investigation of Lucy Letby doc, it's gonna be a wild ride. I just hope we get some closure on the whole thing πŸ’”. Is It Cake? Valentines sounds like a blast too - Mikey Day always knows how to bring the laughs 🍰. Can't wait to see what the rest of these shows have in store! πŸ‘€
 
Man I'm so down for The Muppet Show revival special on Disney+ πŸŽ‰ it's like they're bringing back the good old days of Jim Henson, you know? Reminds me of when I was a kid watching that stuff with my grandma πŸ‘΅β€πŸ‘¦ and we'd laugh together till our sides hurt. And Mo Gilligan's standup special on Netflix is pretty solid too, it's like he's talking straight to your funny bone 🀣. But I gotta say, The Investigation of Lucy Letby on Netflix is giving me some serious dΓ©jΓ  vu, reminds me of those true crime documentaries from back in the day when I used to binge-watch them with my friends πŸ“Ί. And Arctic Circle on Channel 4? That show's like something out of a crazy dream, it's so wild and unpredictable 😱. Anyway, all these shows are perfect for Valentine's Day, they're like the ultimate date-night entertainment πŸ˜‰
 
Omg I'm soooo hyped for The Muppet Show revival special!!! πŸŽ‰πŸ­ Mikey Day is literally the best host ever and I love how they're bringing back some old-school magic! Can't wait to binge-watch it on Disney+ πŸ’–
 
I'm so glad we're getting more nostalgic content on streaming platforms this Valentine's Day πŸ°πŸ’•. The Muppet Show revival is a great way to bring back some classic vibes, but I do wonder if it's targeting the right audience - kids or old school Muppet fans? πŸ€” It's definitely fun to watch, and Mikey Day is hilarious as always πŸ˜‚.

But what really caught my attention is the documentary about Lucy Letby. I mean, who hasn't heard of her case at this point? πŸ“° The fact that there are so many documentaries exploring this story in the coming years just shows how captivating (and disturbing) true crime can be πŸ’₯.

I'm also a fan of Mo Gilligan's standup special - he's got such a great observational style, and his ability to find humor in everyday situations is relatable 🀣. And then there's In the Movement, which I loved watching because it felt like we were all sitting around having coffee with him πŸ’¬.

As for Channel 4's Arctic Circle, I'm intrigued by its willingness to tackle darker themes like space exploration and terrorism πŸš€πŸ’₯. It's not always easy to watch, but sometimes that's exactly what we need - a good dose of reality 😲.

Anyway, it's been a wild week in entertainment news, and I'm excited to see what else comes out next! πŸŽ‰
 
I'm kinda stoked that The Muppet Show is back on Disney+ πŸŽ‰, but I gotta wonder if it's really for me... I mean, I loved the old shows when I was a kid, but have things changed that much? It feels like they're trying too hard to be funny now. On the other hand, Mo Gilligan's standup special seems solid, he's got a great observational style that always makes me laugh πŸ˜‚.

But seriously, what's up with all these true crime documentaries lately? The Investigation of Lucy Letby is definitely going to spark some conversations... I'm both fascinated and repulsed at the same time 🀯. And Arctic Circle, that show is just wild, it's like they're trying to out-weird each other on purpose πŸ˜‚. It'll be interesting to see how people react to it.

It's also kinda cool that Channel 4 is taking risks with new shows, but sometimes I worry it might not resonate with a wider audience πŸ€”. And Finding Harmony: A King's Vision seems like a nice attempt at shedding light on Charles III's legacy, but you can't help feeling that it's a bit... safe? 😐
