Weekend Whats

What to Watch: I’m hardly the first person to recommend Adolescence on Netflix. But it really is awesome. Everyone in the cast is excellent, the topic couldn’t be more timely, and somehow, each entire episode is shot in a single take. For something a little lighter, the very excellent show Hacks returns to Max this weekend. And this season includes the excellent Jimmy Kimmel playing himself on the show. Hacks star Jean Smart appeared on Kimmel this week and it was, as you’d imagine, incredibly enjoyable.

+ What to Hear: An Evening with Elton John and Brandi Carlile on Paramount Plus is filled with songs from the duo’s new album and some of their biggest individual hits. Need to be cheered up? This will work. For more music, this is first weekend at Coachella, and the best way to watch is from your own couch. Coachella will be streaming on YouTube. But wait, there’s more. Lady Gaga was recently on Howard Stern and killed on a couple of songs, including an acoustic version of Abracadabra and Perfect Celebrity.
