Starring Rashida Jones as Suzie, the show is set in Kyoto, Japan where the main character lives after losing her husband and son in a "mysterious plane crash," according to the synopsis. As "consolation" for Suzie's loss, her husband's company gives her a robot, aka Sunny, to keep her company.
At first Suzie resents the robot, but the unlikely duo's relationship grows into friendship. And perhaps Sunny will be able to help her find out what really happened to her husband and son as there's a "dark truth" about their plane crash. The series also stars Hidetoshi Nishijima, Judy Ongg, Jun Kunimura, annie the clumsy, and Joanna Sotomura.

Catherine de Medici's (Samantha Morton) story continues in the second season where her son, Charles IX, has not come of age and is ready to be king after she's ruled as regent for the last number of years. The Guises and the Bourbons continue to fight as tensions rise between the Catholics and Protestants outside of the castle walls as well thanks to a "mysterious prophet named Edith" who now has a "loyal following." With France, and the queen, having to deal with these challenges, it may be an opportunity for Queen Elizabeth I of England (Minnie Driver) to seize. Though as always, Catherine is determined to keep control.
Exploding Kittens
Stream on: Friday, July 12 on Netflix
If god's voice in the Exploding Kittens trailer above sounds familiar, that's because it's someone's distinct voice for you Lucifer fans. It's the one and only Tom Ellis! He's switching over from playing the devil in this new voice role, and we're so excited. I can't wait to watch this adult animated series! All 9 episodes begin streaming Friday, July 12 on Netflix.
In the show, based on the card game of the same name, god "gets fired" from Heaven and so his angels send him to Earth so he can reconnect with humanity in the form of a "chubby house cat," per the synopsis. At first all he cares about is doing what he needs to do with the human family he's been sent to live with to get back to Heaven. But Godcat actually starts to care about the humans. Too bad there's Beelzebub, Lady of Darkness, who is his archenemy. It's good vs. evil - in cat form!
