It’s that time of year when everyone is watching the clock, minutes ticking away until Christmas comes, and I’m right there with ya. This will be our last Watch This Now newsletter until 2022, but fear not! Just like your grandparents did with their old TV Guides, you can re-read our Watch This Now newsletters that you’ve printed out and left all over the coffee table. A TV show we suggested you watch back in August is still a TV show we’d recommend you watch today. (Except maybe Nine Perfect Strangers, sorry about that.) Anyway, have a great and safe holiday season and new year, and we’ll see you again in early 2022. -Tim [Your Watch This Now! newsletter is created by Senior Recommendations and Reviews Editor Tim Surette and more show-obsessed editors at TV Guide!](WB4mHGHN9:m:1:2364960064:E58FE795ADDCC4906BFB6AE9DCB2B494:r) WB4mHGHN9:m:1:2364960064:E58FE795ADDCC4906BFB6AE9DCB2B494:r WEDNESDAY ON HBO MAX, IN THEATERS [The Matrix, resurrected](WB4mHGHN9:m:1:2364960064:E58FE795ADDCC4906BFB6AE9DCB2B494:r) The fourth movie in the Matrix franchise, The Matrix Resurrections, is set twelve years after Revolutions, and it catches us up with Neo (Keanu Reeves), now living a seemingly normal life as Thomas Anderson and seeing a very mysterious therapist (Neil Patrick Harris) who's "helping" him work through all the weird dreams he's been having. He and Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) have no memory of each other, but they both appear to be back in the Matrix program, and things start to get much clearer when Neo stops taking the blue pills he's being prescribed. As is typical of these films, most of the plot details are being kept under wraps, but there's simply nothing better than knowing we'll soon be watching a new Keanu movie. And Keanu himself has said [it’s OK to watch the movie at home on HBO Max](WB4mHGHN9:m:1:2364960064:E58FE795ADDCC4906BFB6AE9DCB2B494:r) instead of theaters, so stream away knowing you aren’t upsetting the coolest person in the world. -Allison Picurro WB4mHGHN9:m:1:2364960064:E58FE795ADDCC4906BFB6AE9DCB2B494:r SEASON 2 AVAILABLE WEDNESDAY ON NETFLIX [Emily in Paris is still Emily and still in Paris](WB4mHGHN9:m:1:2364960064:E58FE795ADDCC4906BFB6AE9DCB2B494:r) Emily in Paris (and you gotta say it like it rhymes), who haunts the dreams of actual Parisians, is back on the streets of Paris like some kind of colorfully dressed cryptid. The new episodes kick off where Season 1 left off, with the titular American in Paris getting herself into a love triangle after sleeping with Gabriel (Lucas Bravo), which puts her in a tight spot with Camille (Camille Razat). Mon dieu! She's also wearing a checkered bucket hat in the trailer. Hard to tell which sin is worse. It’s not a great show, but Emily in Paris’ power is in its ability to make you watch anyway. If you’re looking for that same formula in a show that’s a little better, check out our [list of shows like Emily in Paris](WB4mHGHN9:m:1:2364960064:E58FE795ADDCC4906BFB6AE9DCB2B494:r).

Suranne Jones plays a detective asked to investigate a fatal drug overdose on a nuclear submarine — literally on the submarine; she does her work on the sub while it's on its patrols — who believes foul play is involved. It's loaded with familiar faces, including Ygritte, Pod, and Stannis from Game of Thrones (Rose Leslie, Daniel Portman, and Stephen Dillane), as well as Martin Compston (Line of Duty), Paterson Joseph (Timeless), and Connor Swindells (Sex Education). It's tense right from the start, and maintains it from the claustrophobic conflict of jurisdiction between Jones' detective and the military that runs the sub.
