The Big Leap
FIFTEEN MINUTES IN, this lively, endearing but unsentimental drama about the goings-on at a reality TV show called The Big Leap will have you jumping for joy. Here’s the pitch: Amateur dancers are selected by audition, then rehearse to perform a modernized Swan Lake while also letting cameras film them offstage and at home in Detroit. (The series, shot in Chicago, is inspired by an actual 2014 U.K. reality show, Big Ballet.) The underdogs who make the cut all hunger for some kind of second chance, while savvy executive producer Nick Blackburn (Scott Foley) just wants rating gold.
ORDINARY JOE
IN EVERY EPISODE of this ultimate “what if?” series, we’ll watch earnest Joe Kimbreau (Watchmen’s James Wolk) live out the three paths he could’ve chosen when he graduated college: What would’ve happened if he’d become a nurse, a cop or a rock star? Ten years later, “The guy who’s Bono-famous and has a charcuterie platter waiting for him is going to be different from the guy who’s working a 10-hour shift and then gets a beer at the corner bar,” says Wolk.

OUR KIND OF PEOPLE
POWER, PRIVILEGE, AND secrets from the past heat up this titillating family drama set in Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts, the real-life playground of the Black elite. Based on Lawrence Otis Graham’s bestseller Our Kind of People: Inside America’s Black Upper Class, the show stars Chicago Med’s Yaya DaCosta as Angela Vaughn, a new arrival to Martha’s Vineyard enclave— whose mother was once a maid on the island.
American Rust
MURDERS AND SMALL towns make for riveting television (see: Mare of Easttown, Broadchurch), and American Rust, based on the Philipp Meyer novel, is a worthy addition to this very specific genre. Set in fictional Buell, Pennsylvania, the nine-episode drama centers on a conflicted chief of police Del Harris (Jeff Daniels), who considers crossing morality lines after the son of the woman he loves, Grace Poe (Maura Tierney, The Affair), is linked to a homicide.
