Nailed It Season 1
Netflix, March 9
If shows such as The Great British Bake Off leave you perplexed as to how any amateur could create desserts that looks so professional, Nailed It should be must-see TV. The new series is hosted by comedian Nicole Byer and Le Cirque veteran Jacques Torres, and bakers who fail miserably in their elaborate attempts will be celebrated just as much as those who succeed. At the end of the competition, the winner will take home a nice price of $10,000.
A Feast at Midnight
Amazon Prime and Hulu, March 1 Think of this 1995 movie as sort of a Dead Poet’s Society that skews younger and British, with a plot about illicit goings on related to food instead of poetry and theater. Magnus, a new student at a boarding school, gets trouble from bullies and administrators, and he hates his school’s strict diet. To rebel, he organizes a secret society that celebrates finer comestibles with, as the title suggests, feasts at midnight.
Beerfest
Netflix, March 1 A few years after releasing iconic sophomoric stoner flick Super Troopers in 2001, the Broken Lizard comedy team followed with this sophomoric drunkard flick. The gist: A couple of brothers and their friends train for a super secret beer-drinking competition that coincided with Oktoberfest in Germany. At some point along the way, they discover a secret beer recipe that is coveted by their hated German rivals. The tension comes to a head over games such as beer pong, quarter, and a chugging contest featuring a giant vessel known as “Das Boot.” Don’t expect highbrow comedy from this one.
