Staying indoors this week to avoid the heat? I’ve got a few ideas for what to watch. The Walking Dead is still chugging along with its Maggie and Negan spin-off, Dead City, airing on AMC. Over on streaming, Hulu’s Furious is a compelling serial killer detective story with lots to say about justice and violence. For something much lighter, Paris Is Always a Good Idea is Hallmark’s latest Lacey Chabert-starring romcom series. Finally, it’s been 10 years since The Girlfriend Experience first premiered on Starz — you can catch the excellent anthology drama on Tubi. Better late than never, right?
