Neighbors can be tricky, but if I had to choose someone to live next to, Keke Palmer would be high on the list. She's clever, hilarious, and incredibly talented (her "Freddy My Love" from *Grease Live* is a must). Now, her character on her new Peacock series *The 'Burbs*... that's more up in the air. That said, I've loved the episodes I've screened, and can't wait to see the rest to get answers to the mystery at the center of the dark comedy. If you wanna get excited too, I can't share my screeners — but we do have a new cover story for you to read ahead of its Feb. 8 binge drop! —*Patrick Gomez, Editor-in-Chief*

Merrily We Roll Along

The Broadway revival of Stephen Sondheim's musical, which picked up four Tony wins last year, is now available to watch at home. See Jonathan Groff, Daniel Radcliffe, and Lindsay Mendez as three friends whose bond is tested and broken during career highs and lows over two decades. Even if you managed to catch the production live in NYC, the filmed version (available on Prime Video, Apple TV, and other VOD platforms) offers close-up shots that reveal the actors' raw emotions — and, yes, "Groff sauce." By the end, you'll feel like the threesome are your *old friends*. —*Tiffany Kelly, Staff Editor*
Tell Me Lies

There's a lot of feel-good TV on our screens right now, but this Hulu series is distinctly feel-bad TV. *Tell Me Lies*' third season continues following the messy lives of a group of friends from college, and we can't look away. —*T.K.*

Talk Talk's Spirit of Eden Remastered

'Spirit of Eden' by Talk Talk.
Parlophone Records
Recorded as a series of jam sessions in a dark London studio, the English band's experimental 1988 album ignited the post-rock genre made famous by acts like Sigur Rós and latter-period Radiohead. Get lost in its mystical beauty with this LP reissue. —*Jason Lamphier, Senior Editor*
The Book of Luke

If *UnREAL* were about *The Challenge* and involved a former reality TV all-star-turned-villain returning to the show that made his career, you'd have this wildly entertaining first novel from filmmaker Lovell Holder. You may find yourself screaming at the book like it's your TV. —*Nick Romano, Senior Editor*
The Disappear

Hamish Linklater, Miriam Silverman, and Dylan Baker in 'The Disappear'.
Hamish Linklater and Miriam Silverman dazzle as an insufferable director and his emotionally neglected writer wife in this new play at the Minetta Lane Theatre in NYC. Will working together save their marriage? Well, when it rains, it pours… in this case, literally. —*Dalton Ross, Editorial Director*
