Remember those empty teenage years where you just floated by, untethered from the realities and miseries of the world? "The Summer I Turned Pretty" isn't quite as rose-colored, but Jenny Han's ("To All The Boys") adaptation of the first book of her same-named trilogy promises a hazy throwback to when life was at least a little easier, littered with teenage crushes and cotillion dresses.

One of the first images released of "Loot" was of Maya Rudolph and an alpaca. Do you need more?

This doesn't exactly sound like an odd couple comedy, but the series, based on James Keene and Hillel Levin's true crime memoir "In With The Devil: A Fallen Hero, A Serial Killer, and A Dangerous Bargain for Redemption," sets up two unlikely partners: a police officer's son (Taron Egerton) doing 10 years for drug dealing and a serial killer (Paul Walter Hauser). If the former can extract a confession from the latter, he gets out early. What happens behind bars doesn't stay behind bars if you're a narc.

Steve Carrell as a therapist trying to talk a serial killer (Domhnall Gleeson) out of killing again while being held hostage could be great or terrible, especially once you throw in the murderer's mommy issues. What should put "The Patient" on the right side of that line is the creators: Joe Weisberg and Joel Fields, who last made a little show called "The Americans." If anyone knows how to do damaged relationships, it's them.
