Weekend Whats

What to Reality: My wife and I have been searching for escapist content lately, and The Parisian Agency on Netflix is fitting the bill. “This reality series follows the Kretz family and their luxury property business as they help clients buy and sell fabulous homes in France and abroad.”

+ What to Book: Taffy Brodesser-Akner’s latest novel tracks the longterm impacts of a kidnapping on a wealthy family. Long Island Compromise. The book’s opening scene was based on a real event that took place in Brodesser-Akner’s neighborhood when she was a kid. She wrote an amazing piece about that event and how we all deal with trauma. If you missed it in yesterday’s NextDraft, don’t: Blunt About Trauma.

+ What to Watch: AppleTV’s new show starring Natalie Portman and Moses Ingram is off to a very compelling start. Lady in the Lake is worth a try.
