What to Read About What to Watch: There’s never been more good television to watch. And it’s never been harder to figure out what to watch next (and where/how to watch it). The NYT’s Watching newsletter has become one of my favorite tools for picking shows. Give it a try.

+ What to Watch: It’s rare for a show to get better in its third season. Narcos is not just better. It’s in a completely different class. And you don’t need to have watched the first two seasons to enjoy it. Watch Narcos on Netflix.

+ What to Doc: Earlier this week, I put together a collection of resources that frame America’s opioid epidemic, including a short documentary, a book, and a few articles. It’s here if you missed it: The Pain Killers.
