TV Worth Watching

"Dancing With the Stars" Season 22 (Monday on ABC at 8 p.m.)
Three football players. Three nostalgia TV stars. Zero Houghs. The spring season of DWTS promises to be an interesting one. "Grumpy" Len Goodman is back as head judge to criticize 12 celebs who are probably wondering why they signed up for this nerve-racking torture. For the Mirror Ball trophy, of course! And a decent paycheck. Here's hoping ANTM's Nyle DiMarco picks up his second reality show win.

"Grantchester" Season 2 (Sunday on PBS at 9 p.m.)
Here's another one for the list of things to watch now that "Downton Abbey" is gone. Hopefully you watched the charming -- but surprisingly deep and moving -- first season of "Grantchester," 'cause Season 2 airs March 27-May 1 on Masterpiece on PBS. James Norton is back as handsome Reverend Sidney Chambers, with Robson Green returning as his rough-around-the-edges partner in crime, Inspector Geordie Keating. Watch them bring justice and spiritual nourishment to early 1950s England, and see if Sidney will ever find The Right Girl.

"Portlandia" Season 6 (Thursday on IFC at 10 p.m.)
It's time to put a bird on the sixth season of "Portlandia." The 10th episode is called "Noodle Monster," and here is IFC's synopsis: "A tsukemen ramen monster is on the loose in Portland. The mayor tries to impress a major brand visiting Portland and enlists Fred and Carrie to help."


New on Netflix

"A Promise" (2013)
Rebecca Hall, Alan Rickman, and Richard "Robb Stark" Madden star in this 2013 drama, available on Netflix starting March 24. The story is set in the early 20th century, following the love triangle of an ailing factor owner (Rickman), his young bride (Hall), and his protege (Madden). If you loved the late, great Alan Rickman, you should honor his memory by watching this film, and everything else he's in.

"The Art of Organized Noize"
This star-studded 2016 documentary tells the rise-and-fall story of Atlanta music pioneers, Organized Noize, the producers behind Outkast, Goodie Mob, and TLC. Their production shaped the landscape of hip-hop with their own distinctive sound, which was created in the confines of The Dungeon. The doc features interviews with Andre 3000, Big Boi, Puff Daddy, Future, Ludacris, L.A. Reid, 2 Chainz, CeeLo and more, and you can catch it on Netflix starting March 22.

Check out the official trailer:

"The Forbidden Kingdom"
In this 2008 martial arts adventure, Michael Angarano stars as an American teen who loves Hong Kong cinema and old kung-fu movies (so, basically, a young Quentin Tarantino). He ends up transported back in time, where he joins a band of legendary martial-artists on a quest to free an imprisoned man. The film co-stars Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Crystal Liu and it arrives on Netflix March 24.

"Trailer Park Boys": Season 10
