What to watch on November 1: The Mandalorian season 2 is now streaming on Disney+ Hotstar Premium

The Mandalorian, the first (and only so far) canonical Star Wars live-action series, is also back for its second season. The much-awaited Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant’s HBO psychological thriller The Undoing has also premiered.

Titled The Marshal, the premiere episode of The Mandalorian is the longest episode in the show yet, and still, it feels quite briskly-paced. There is a lot of action, callbacks, humour and stunning visual effects. The show’s sci-fi-western feel is still compelling, and sky-high production values make everything look cinematic.

The Undoing, based on the 2014 novel You Should Have Known by Jean Hanff Korelitz, has Kidman and Grant playing the role of a wealthy Manhattan couple, the Frasers, who live with their young son. While Kidman’s character Grace Fraser is a therapist, Grant’s Jonathan Fraser is an oncologist. The episode begins in a slow-burn fashion, but the pace picks up soon and by the end, the pilot episode, which shares the same title as the series, has set the stage for a gripping psychological thriller.
