5 shows like 'Your Friends and Neighbors' to stream while you wait for season 2
The first season of "Your Friends and Neighbors" has come to a close, and while we wait to see what Andrew Cooper steals next (and from whom), there's a very specific hole left in our watchlists. The Apple TV Plus series introduced us to Jon Hamm's Andrew, a freshly fired hedge fund manager who decides to spend his free time breaking into the homes of his rich neighbors — not out of desperation, but more like curiosity, boredom and maybe a touch of existential spite. With its deadpan voiceover and sharp commentary on the absurdity of wealth, "Your Friends and Neighbors" makes it weirdly easy to root for a guy rifling through someone else's medicine cabinet. While we wait for season 2 to sneak back into our lives, here are a few shows like "Your Friends and Neighbors" that scratch the same itch. In this FX drama, an Irish Traveller family decides to take up residence in an upper class neighborhood when they're involved in a car accident that kills a wealthy family named the Riches. On the run from their clan, from whom they've just stolen a large sum of money, they have little choice but to assume the identities of the Riches, struggling to fit in within a WASP-y community of hedge fund managers and high-powered attorneys. Starring Suzy Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver as Rich parents and Noel Fisher, Shannon Marie Woodward, and Aidan Mitchell as their three children, "The Riches" benefited from the strong performances and bonds between its central cast.

Andrew Cooper on "Your Friends and Neighbors" wasn't the first TV character to engage in nefarious, illegal goings-on beneath the surface of an otherwise picture-perfect suburban neighborhood. Nancy Botwin (Mary Louise Parker) preceded him by a number of years on "Weeds," when she — a mother with two boys to provide for whose husband has recently died — starts a lucrative side hustle as the local marijuana dealer. "Weeds" was a satirical take on the typical family drama, and it ran for eight seasons on Showtime from 2005 to 2012. Along the way, it earned 20 Emmy nominations, including several for Parker as well as Elizabeth Perkins as Botwin's neighbor. Watch free on Plex This may sound familiar: A typical family man whose marriage is on the rocks finds himself in the midst of a crisis and, determined to provide for his wife and kids, begins working as a freelance criminal. Initially, he tells himself it's a means to an end, but before long, he starts to relish his life of crime, and what's more, he's good at it. This could describe Andrew Cooper in "Your Friends and Neighbors," but is just as easily applied to Walter White (Bryan Cranston) in "Breaking Bad." After White, a mild-mannered high school teacher, is handed a devastating cancer diagnosis, he realizes that he can make enough to keep his family comfortable after his death by opening a meth lab. But that's just where it starts. Before long, he gets deeper and deeper into the criminal world, until he's virtually unrecognizable. Breaking Bad was a hit series on AMC, earning four Emmys for Cranston, three for Aaron Paul, and two for Anna Gunn. It also generated a popular spinoff, "Better Call Saul," which offers up an origin story for White's shady lawyer, Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk). Watch on Netflix It can be easy to justify a little light larceny when you find you and your family in dire financial straits. This is certainly the case in "Good Girls," when a trio of suburban mothers decide to turn to robbery when they each, for different reasons, fall on hard times. Beth (Christina Hendricks) is reeling from a recent divorce after her husband cheated on her. Ruby (Retta) needs money to pay for her child's medical treatments. And Annie (Mae Whitman) is about to become embroiled in an expensive custody battle. They're all more or less justified in looking for not-so-legal side hustles, which they find when they decide to team up and rob a local grocery store. Surely they'll just commit one robbery, get away with it, and then that'll be the end of it, right? Watch on Netflix Set in Palm Beach in 1969, this comedy-drama feels a little bit like a mash-up between "Mad Men's" period aesthetics and the criminal antics of "Your Friends and Neighbors." It stars Kristen Wiig as the ambitious Maxine, who is determined to do whatever it takes to join the high-flying members of Palm Beach's most exclusive country club. Her increasingly absurd antics only prove the lengths she's willing to go to accomplish her goals, as she clumsily manipulates seemingly everyone in town to earn a coveted spot among their elite. Wiig is in fine form in Palm Royale, showcasing her deftness with both comedy and drama. Palm Royale was renewed for a second season in 2024, so we should be getting more social-climbing dramedy in the near future. Watch on Apple TV Plus

Willie Mullins vs Dan Skelton battle forces changes to ITV's season finale schedule
The start time of the final jumps meeting of the season at Sandown on Saturday has been brought forward and the running order changed so fans can follow the climax to the British trainers' championship The gripping battle between Willie Mullins and Dan Skelton for the British jumps trainers' championship has forced a change to the time schedule and running order for Saturday's showpiece meeting at Sandown. With the prize-money gap ebbing and flowing with every race, the contest will go down to the wire this weekend at the bet365 Jumps Finale, the last meeting of the 2024-25 season. Mullins holds both the Irish and British jumps trainers' titles, sealing his first British championship when Minella Cocooner landed the bet365 Gold Cup in an end of season spree last year, which included victories in the Grand National and Scottish Grand National. Still narrowly trailing long-time leader Skelton, chasing his first title, he has 15 horses in the feature handicap at Sandown where the two trainers have made a combined 71 entries on a card with £685,000 up for grabs. ITV was set to broadcast as much of the unfolding drama as possible but the seventh and final race on Saturday's card, the bet365 Handicap Hurdle, was due to start at 5.20pm, 20 minutes after ITV went off air. However, Sandown Park Racecourse and the British Horseracing Authority have collaborated to bring forward the first race of the day, the bet365 Novices' Championship Final Handicap Hurdle, from 1.50pm to 1.20pm and the closing race from a 5.20pm to 4.45pm start. Further changes to Saturday's running order include moving the bet365 Josh Gifford Novices' Handicap Chase from the sixth to the second race, the bet365 Oaksey Chase from the second to the third, the bet365 Celebration Chase from the third to the fifth, the bet365 Select Hurdle from the fifth to the fourth and the bet365 Gold Cup Handicap Chase from the fourth to the sixth. ITV Racing's three and a half hour show will now cover the last six races of the season live, giving fans the chance to see the outcome of the title race. Sandown clerk of the course Andrew Cooper said: 'Saturday promises to be a gripping end to the jumps season and we wanted racing fans who can't join us on the day to be able to watch all the drama unfold live on ITV Racing. 'We're incredibly grateful to the BHA, participants and the teams at Haydock Park and Leicester racecourses, who have moved races to accommodate our changes at very short notice. 'All of us at Sandown Park are excited about bringing the curtain down on what has been a fantastic season and showcasing its thrilling conclusion to fans on course and at home.' Richard Willoughby, ITV Racing Programme Editor, said: 'The quest for the trainers' title looks set to go down to the wire and provides us with a fantastic narrative on Jump Finale day. 'A huge thank you to Andrew Cooper, Clerk of the Course at Sandown Park, Jockey Club Racecourses, the BHA and RMG for reworking the order of running and for allowing us to show the six races that could prove decisive in deciding who wins this coveted prize.'

‘Your Friends and Neighbors' Review: Jon Hamm's Upscale Crime Spree
If John Cheever had conjured up Andrew Cooper of 'Your Friends and Neighbors,' the severed hedge-fund bro played by Jon Hamm would be dipping in and out of contiguous swimming pools. Instead, he's robbing houses. One man's existential crisis is another's crime spree, one supposes. In Coop's case, alienation proves to be very expensive. With no relation to the 1998 Neil LaBute film of the same name—except in its attempt at class assassination—this suburban-noir satire might be a victim of bad timing: Mr. Hamm, always watchable, makes Andrew more likable than he deserves to be in a nine-part series that casts the American Dream—if said dream involves having every material thing you could possibly want—as not just lacking but soul crushing. If you have a soul. During the Great Depression, movies cast the very rich as screwy. In Jonathan Tropper's very black comedy, they are far less amusing, as well as morally bankrupt. It feels a little easy.
