The Plot
Season 2 picks up where the show left off, diving deeper into the relationship between agnostic podcast host Joanne (Bell) and hot rabbi Noah (Brody), whose unlikely romance surprised even them. Now that love has bloomed, they need to see if they can make it last.
The official Season 2 synopsis reads:
'First comes love, then comes life. The last time we saw agnostic podcast host Joanne (Bell) and unconventional (hot) rabbi Noah (Brody), their unmatched chemistry surprised everyone in their lives, including her sister Morgan (Justine Lupe), his brother Sasha (Timothy Simons) and sister-in-law Esther (Jackie Tohn), and even themselves. Their spark proved stronger than all of the obstacles trying to keep them apart. Now, they're back and fully committed to merging their lives — and loved ones — together. But their differences still exist and can't be ignored. The challenge now is not just falling in love against all odds, but staying together in spite of them.'
New Guest Stars
Leighton Meester, the Gossip Girl alum and Brody's real-life spouse, joins the cast as Abby, Joanne's former middle school nemesis who is now an Instagram mommy influencer. Show creator Erin Foster spoke to Gold Derby about landing Meester for the show. 'She is so funny. I know that I didn't discover her. She's already a big star, but she's so funny,' says Foster. 'I definitely wrote in some little Easter eggs for people with the interactions for Adam and Leighton.'
Other guest stars this season include Miles Fowler, Alex Karpovsky, and Arian Moayed.
Setting and Locations
Just like Season 1, the new season continues to be a love letter to Los Angeles but this time, with a more intentional focus on the city's small businesses.
'Last year we did it sort of just organically wherever we were, but this year it was much more intentional that we found local businesses and really went out of our way to highlight them," says Foster. "I think that it'll be an extension of last year, but hopefully even more."

Season 3 contestant Rachel Recchia later criticized Louis on The Viall Files podcast for spoiling his and Sandy's fate. 'It's literally airing—we have what, maybe two weeks? It feels, like, a little selfish,' Rachel said. 'It affects the whole cast.' She continued, 'I love him as a person. I think he's amazing. I get along with him so well. He's such great TV… I mean, Sandy and him have such a good connection on the show. Now people are kinda seeing things like, 'Oh, what's going on now?''

(L to R) Madison Errichiello, Freddie Powell in episode 302 of Perfect Match COURTESY OF NETFLIX Relationship status: Broken up Although Freddie and Madison made plans to pursue their romance after the show, the relationship didn't last. Freddie told Elite Daily that it ended due to the challenges of long distance — he is from Manchester, while Madison hails from Minneapolis. 'We carried on speaking afterwards, but we were very realistic about the fact that there was 4,000 miles between us,' Freddie revealed. 'And gradually over time, it just became apparent that it was more of a friendship.' He also said their connection felt different in the real world. 'In the bubble of Perfect Match , it was a roller coaster of emotions in this surreal environment, and moving back to the norm of real life, it just became apparent that continuing to date probably wasn't the best idea," he added.

COURTESY OF NETFLIX Relationship status: Broken up Rachel and Ray are also no longer together following the Perfect Match Season 3 finale. They mentioned going on some dates in Los Angeles during the finale, which Rachel said they followed through on, but their connection never reached a romantic level. 'I have seen him in LA quite a bit. We are friends,' Rachel told Elite Daily , noting that their relationship felt like a platonic situation on the show. 'We were super late in the process when we formed a relationship, so it didn't have much time to progress past friendship. I don't know if we ever really were in a real relationship.' While Rachel and Ray didn't work out — along with the Season 3 finale couples besides AD and Ollie — the former Bachelor star teased that at Netflix's Summer Break event, some couples were getting back together a year after filming concluded. 'There's a lot still going on, like, even just from that Netflix [Summer Break] event,' Rachel said on The Viall Files. 'There's a lot happening. Oh, my God, there might have been more drama at that Netflix event [than on the show]. There's still stuff going on, [even though] filming was a year ago.' All episodes of Perfect Match Season 3 are streaming on Netflix. Forbes 'Perfect Match' Season 2 Finale: Who Won And Which Couples Are Still Together? By Monica Mercuri

The 10 Best TV Shows On Netflix According To Rotten Tomatoes Critic Score
Well, if you've arrived here, I know you're looking for something to watch on Netflix right now, and the options are seemingly endless. But the best shows on Netflix? You might want to consult the critics, as they've watched them all. We're sticking with Netflix originals here, as we know those are evergreen series that are not going to be taken off the service by the time you read this. Licensing deals come and go, but if something was made by Netflix, it's staying here. The bad news, however, is that despite these high reviews, some of these series were cancelled before their time, as Netflix cares more about viewership than scores. But as of August 2025, here are the ten best Netflix TV shows according to Rotten Tomatoes critics: 1) Arcane (100% - 2 seasons) Widely considered one of the best animated series of all time, Arcane brings the world of the video game League of Legends to life, spotlighting a number of characters from the hit MOBA, and rendering them in a gorgeous, never-before-seen animation style. But it's more than stylish, the drama, the action are just as worthwhile, and it's only one of two shows here that retained a 100% score across both its seasons. There are future series set in the world of League of Legends coming in the future, given what a hit this was. 2) The Baby-Sitter's Club (100% - 2 seasons) This is the second series with double 100%s across seasons, but this one is a bit more of a tragedy. Despite being one of the two highest-scored Netflix original series, it was cancelled after season 2 and not renewed for season 3. It's a throwback to the classic novels with a young, charming cast who bring that world to life in a pleasant series perfect for the younger crowd and their parents. 3) Giri/Haji (100% - 1 season) How many tragedies must we endure? The only crime series in the top 10, the Japanese Giri/Haji was a stellar split time between Japan and London, and dives deep into the world of Yakuza. But once again, despite high scores and a lot of praise, it was cancelled after season 1, which is another great tragedy on the list here. However, it's still very much worth watching. 4) Cyberpunk Edgerunners (100% - miniseries, 1 season) The second animated video game adaptation on the list, you could make the argument it's even better than Arcane. It was announced well before the release of Cyberpunk 2077 and mostly forgotten about in the wake of the disastrous launch of that game. But as 2077 fixed things and improved, Edgerunners finally made it to air and blew everyone away with its story that takes place in the world of the game, without directly connecting to it. Now, it's been confirmed another, separate Cyberpunk series is heading to Netflix. 5) Maya and the Three (100% - miniseries, 1 season) Now we move to an animated kids series, one starring the box office goddess Zoe Saldana, star of Avatar, and a prominent member of the MCU. It's a series that follows a young princess who teams up with legendary warriors to save the world from evil gods. It's just nine episodes long and perfect for perhaps not little kids, but a smidge older than that. 6) Cassandra (100% - miniseries, 1 season) I really love this show. It's German, so flip those subtitles on, but it's an incredibly unique horror production that blends a Jetsons aesthetic with a truly terrifying, but ultimately tragic villain in the form of the robotic Cassandra, attempting to steal a family for her own. It's the only horror series on this list, and I would agree that it's one of the best on Netflix, which has some solid entries on that front. 7) The Playlist (100% - miniseries, 1 season) This is one I haven't seen, but it's a recreation of the birth of Spotify, which was started by a Swedish tech entrepreneur. We have seen a number of these tech origin story productions, the most famous of which being The Social Network, but this is reportedly one of the best. You won't know the Swedish cast, but it's going to be worth watching all the same. 8) Baby Reindeer (99%, miniseries) The truly bizarre, gripping story of a man stalked by a woman, based on a true story, with the central figure in question played by the actual, real-life person. That's something you don't see every day. This spawned a number of Emmy wins and blowback from the alleged real-life stalker who disputes her characterization, and said she was too easily identified. 9) Mo (98% - 2 seasons) A 98% across two seasons is no small feat, and Mo, a full-on comedy, has pleased critics for years now. The series is newly relevant as it focuses on a Palestinian refugee trying to get US citizenship through asylum. This is a comedy? Yes, yes it is, but it's able to tackle serious issues through that medium. 10) Unbelievable (98% - Miniseries, 1 season) Want to see a future Emmy winner? That would be Kaitlyn Dever, the star of a tremendous amount of great series from Dopesick to Apple Cider Vinegar to now The Last of Us. But in this story, she plays a teen who was raped and attempts to prove that in a system that doesn't want to believe her. It's based on a true story, and it's a hard watch, but worth it. Bonus: Mindhunter (97% - 2 seasons) You could make the case that it is the single best series in Netflix history, the origin of a nation's hunt for serial killers. The show is frustrating in the sense that it deserved more than two seasons. It was allegedly cancelled by Netflix for costing too much, but now that the service is spending billions on content, it would seem wise to bring it back, and there are tiny, tiny rumblings that could happen. But it still seems like a long shot. Those are the critic picks, and I'll plan to do audiences next. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram.

'Alien' among us 👾
"In space, no one can hear you scream." That was the tagline of the original 1979 sci-fi classic "Alien." More than 45 years later, you're going to hear all the screaming because the long-running franchise is back in a whole new way – and on our home planet – in the new TV series "Alien: Earth." Even if Facehuggers and Chestbusters freak you out, that's a definite recommendation for this weekend, as is the new Spike Lee flick "Highest 2 Lowest," the iconic director's fifth collaboration with Denzel Washington and a remake of Akira Kurosawa's "High and Low." And we got any Losties in the Watch Party crew? Daniel Kae Kim is back in a Prime Video spy show. Now on to the good stuff: See a new take on an old fave with the sci-fi series 'Alien: Earth' The "Alien" franchise has gone a lot of different directions in five decades – not all of then stellar. Last year's movie "Alien: Romulus" went back to the roots of the OG films, and Noah Hawley's outstanding TV show "Alien: Earth" also does wonders with the series by taking the action from space to Earth with a crash-landed spacecraft (carrying nothing exactly pleasant) and corporations competing to unlock immortality. In her ★★★½ review, TV critic Kelly Lawler writes that the show harks back to the halcyon days of Ridley Scott's first movie with "eight episodes of terror, both comfortingly familiar and disturbingly novel." There is an interesting timeliness to "Alien: Earth," too: While the iconic "Alien" Xenomorph does show up, the series also explores powerful tech companies vying for dominance. "The show is about humanity being trapped between its monster past when we all were just food and its AI future, and in both cases, something's out to kill us," Hawley tells my bud Marco della Cava in a discussion of the drama's modern themes. Celebrate Spike Lee and Denzel Washington's reunion for 'Highest 2 Lowest' When Spike Lee and Denzel Washington get together, they don't miss. "He Got Game"? Best basketball movie ever. Washington snagged an Oscar nod for the great "Malcolm X." "Inside Man" was a standout heist thriller. "Mo' Better Blues" is a cool jazz flick. And their latest collab "Highest 2 Lowest" − which stars Denzel Washington as a music mogul with a moral dilemma – reunites them as older but wiser artists for a love letter to New York City, music and sports that proves each still has a lot of game. (Peep my ★★★ review.) If you're wanting to stick closer to home for new movies, there's a bunch hitting streaming services this week, including Netflix thriller "Night Always Comes" and "The Legend of Ochi." Plus: "Superman" is out in digital release now and that's a super-fun time. Stream Daniel Dae Kim's Amazon espionage show 'Butterfly' "Lost" fan favorite Daniel Dae Kim has a pretty exciting 2025, being named to Time's list of the 100 most influential people in the world and earning a Tony Award nomination for his role in the revival of "Yellow Face." But even though he's busy, Kim stopped by our New York City studio to chat with my man Ralphie Aversa about his new Prime Video espionage thriller "Butterfly." Kim plays a former U.S. intelligence agent living in South Korea when an enemy agent tries to kill him and has to confront his past to save his family. The opening of the show features Kim belting out The Killers' "Mr. Brightside," but in real life, the actor doesn't go near a karaoke mike. "I do love 'Mr. Brightside,' " he jokes. "It doesn't matter who starts it − everyone finishes it, and that to me is a sign of a good karaoke song." In addition to "Butterfly" and the aforementioned "Alien" show, the Kansas City Chief docuseries "The Kingdom" and a "Snoopy" musical make Kelly's roundup of streaming TV premieres this week. Even more goodness to check out! Got thoughts, questions, ideas, concerns, compliments or maybe even some recs for me?
