This weekend I have … a half-hour, and I like closure.
‘Insecure’
When to watch: Sunday at 10 p.m., on HBO.
The fifth and final season of “Insecure” starts this weekend, and our heroines are headed back to Stanford for a college reunion — the emotional equivalent of standing against pencil marks on the wall of your childhood home and asking, “Have I grown?” For Issa, the answer is “maybe not how you wanted or as much as you thought.” No other show depicts or explores resentment the way “Insecure” does, in such faceted splendor, and the friction between Issa and her ostensible BFF Molly remains fascinatingly unresolved. If you’ve watched any “Insecure” over the years, don’t feel that you need to catch up; you can just jump back in.
… an hour, and I need a boost.
‘Taskmaster’
When to watch: Now, on YouTube.
On each season of this British game show, five comedians compete in dozens of strange and silly challenges, sometimes requiring clever deductive reasoning but sometimes as seemingly simple as: “Fart. Fartiest fart wins.” The show’s host and judge, Greg Davies, capriciously awards the contestants points, and because no one is eliminated, the horse race becomes part of the fun. If you like game nights, scavenger hunts, logic puzzles or inside jokes, watch this. Every season is good, and every episode is funny, so start anywhere. Season 12 is now airing in England, and Seasons 1 through 8 and Season 10 are legally streaming in the United States.
… several hours, and I like magic stuff.
‘Locke & Key’
When to watch: Now, on Netflix; Season 2 arrives Friday.
“Locke & Key,” based on a comic book series, is more spooky than scary, a supernatural story that includes violence but acknowledges sorrow. Beyond its demons and dark portals, the show offers a surprisingly wholesome stick-with-your-siblings message and an “aw, shucks” vibe, thanks in part to warm and unfussy performances (especially from Jackson Robert Scott). Because “Locke” is about kids battling evil forces, there’s an inherent similarity to “Stranger Things,” but the more comparable show is “The Magician,” all quests and possessions and swirling mythology. And as with that show, you don’t need to keep all the details straight to enjoy the ride. I will warn scaredy cats that there is one scene with a giant spider this season.
