The mock-documentary sitcom format, popularized by The office, Modern Familyand most recently Abbott Elementaryfinds another perfectly suitable location in the chaotic emergency department of a regional hospital in Oregon.

Deadpool and Wolverine

The summer’s biggest movie hit at $1.34 billion, which claims to be the highest-grossing R-rated film ever, is joining the Marvel lineup on the otherwise family-friendly streamer.
