It’s a quieter week in television — new television, anyway. You can easily watch Netflix’s new show Running Point from Mindy Kaling (which is always a pretty safe bet; Kaling has quite the resume in terms of solid sitcoms), all before the Dragon Ball Daima
Here are the best new TV premieres to watch this week.
Genre: Girl-power business comedy
Release date: Feb. 27, with all episodes
Showrunner/creator: Mindy Kaling
Cast: Kate Hudson, Justin Theroux, Brenda Song, and more
Isla Gordon (Kate Hudson) grew up in a sports family — the illustrious (and fake) Los Angeles Waves — but was never taken quite as seriously as her brothers. But then, when her golden older brother lands in a bit of hot water, he gives the team to her. Does she have the chops to run a basketball team and help them win their season?
Genre: Award show (Oscars)
Release date: March 2 at 7 p.m. EST (3:30 p.m. EST for the Red Carpet)
Host: Conan O’Brien
It’s the biggest night of the year in movies. The Oscars are being handed out. Will genre fare like Dune: Part Two and The Substance win out?
Most importantly: Will we have a good time watching a three-hour telecast? The answer to that one is hopefully yes — while it’s Conan O’Brien’s first time hosting the Oscars, the man has done quite a few good hosting gigs with the Emmys and the White House Correspondents’ dinner back in the day.
Genre: Dragon Ball
Release date: Feb. 28
Showrunner/creator: Akira Toriyama
We’ve done it: We’ve reached the end of Dragon Ball Daima. As always, it’s a little bittersweet to reach the end of something when the journey has been so fun. But Daima, the final project from Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama, will have a special air of mourning to it. What will happen to Goku and pals now?
