There’s the return of Neil Patrick Harris in new comedy Uncoupled, The Nine Lives of Ozzy Osbourne, the new run of 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, spooky drama Resort and supernatural mystery Paper Girls . . .
Pick of the Day
Uncoupled, Netflix
From the creator of Emily in Paris and Sex and the City, and the executive producer of Modern Family, this series stars How I Met You Mother's Neil Patrick Harris.
When his boyfriend of 17 years abruptly moves out, a New York City real estate broker faces the prospect of starting over as a single man in his 40s.
It seems implausable that a character played by Harris could struggle in that environment, but then again he did play a womaniser in HIMYM.
