HOW/WHEN & WHERE TO WATCH: Streaming on HBO Max

Season Premiere
HBO Max's rom-com anthology series returns for a second season with William Jackson Harper (The Good Place) replacing Anna Kendrick in the lead role. This time 'round, Harper takes on the role of the initially-unlucky-but-ultimately-lucky-in-love protagonist, while Jessica Williams (2 Dope Queens) plays the object of his affection, Mia Hines. Not unlike Kendrick's Darby, Harper's Marcus finds himself navigating his way through clumsy hookups, devastating breakups, and plenty of questionable decisions when his marriage unexpectedly ends. And, because the treacherous world of New York City dating wasn't brutal enough, the pandemic also hits halfway through Marcus' quest to find love. But luckily, his best buddy Yogi (Chris Powell) and sister Ida (Punkie Johnson) are there to pick Marcus up when he falls — and believe us, he falls often. —Ruth Kinane

Panamanians will head to the polls in Sunday's general election to elect one of eight contenders to be the nation's next president and vote for hundreds of local lawmakers and officials. Following weeks of campaign events that featured catchy reggaeton songs and popular entertainers, over 3 million voters will decide who is best placed to fix Panama's pressing economic problems, tackle corruption and restore the country's reputation as an investment haven. Jose Raul Mulino, a former minister who replaced popular ex-president Ricardo Martinelli on the ballot after Martinelli was barred from running due to a money laundering conviction, is leading in opinion polls.
