Here’s one for hungry fans of period pieces: “My Brilliant Career.” Based on the novel of the same name by Miles Franklin, the new six-part Australian Netflix miniseries is set in rural Australia in 1900 and follows Sybella, a young farm girl who aches for a writing career. Her family and society’s expectations, along with a blooming romance, threaten to extinguish her ambitions. — Jennifer Mulson

Every Mary Oliver poem I read becomes my new favorite of her vast collection of nature-centered works. That she will forever be known as one of our country’s finest poets seems like a universal truth. The new documentary, “Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World,” chronicles the life of the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and features interviews and readings by John Waters, Stephen Colbert and others. It’s on Apple TV. — Jennifer Mulson

“Dinner in America” is streaming for free on Tubi, and if you’ve heard the viral song “Watermelon” floating around your social media feed, this is where it all began.

It’s basically the cinematic equivalent of seeing something weird happen in public and needing to know how it ends. — April Borjon

“The Odyssey” continues Christopher Nolan’s strong campaign for director of the 2000s, adding to a blockbuster run that has included Batman, Oppenheimer and Matthew McConaughey as an unforgettable space traveler. But let’s not forget about the character of lesser fame who helped set Nolan on his mind-bending course. Maybe you remember Leonard Shelby, who suffers from short-term memory loss and cannot fully remember a gruesome tragedy while seeking revenge. Maybe you need a refresher: “Memento” is streaming on Netflix. — Seth Boster
