The series combines guidance from experienced artists with live voting and a look at what it’s like to tour. Each episode shows how the musicians improve their performance skills while dealing with the challenges of life on the road.

‘Red Alert’ (2025)

I just finished watching ‘Red Alert,’ a powerful new four-part Israeli series, and it’s incredibly moving. It doesn’t focus on the big picture of October 7th, but instead puts you right in the middle of it with the stories of ordinary people. Created and directed by Lior Chefetz, with Ruth Efroni as co-creator, and produced by Keshet Media Group along with Lawrence Bender, the series feels remarkably real. The acting is fantastic – Rotem Sela, Israel Atias, Miki Leon, Hisham Sulliman, and Chen Amsalem all deliver compelling performances. What really struck me was the attention to detail; everything from the locations to the clothes and the way people speak felt authentic, giving you a truly immersive and varied look at what happened.

‘Matlock’ (2024– )

The show follows Madeline “Matty” Matlock, an experienced lawyer who takes a job at a prestigious New York law firm. She quietly and carefully investigates cases to uncover wrongdoing. Created by Jennie Snyder Urman and starring Kathy Bates alongside Skye P. Marshall, Jason Ritter, David Del Rio, and Leah Lewis, the series features both standalone legal cases each week and ongoing storylines about office drama and competition. Jennie Snyder Urman, Joanna Klein, Eric Christian Olsen, and Kathy Bates are executive producers, and Kat Coiro directed the first episode.
