This Week's Highlight

IMO: The Look

This new spin-off of the former first lady's IMO podcast accompanies the launch of a visual tome exploring her fashion evolution. The production is sleek (in true Obama fashion), featuring guests including former Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth and iconic performer Jane Fonda. Much like the woman herself, the series delivers substance together with its glamour, disclosing fascinating perspectives about the expectations she faced as the pioneering Black female to live in the White House.

The Pause

Test results. Your ride. Your marriage ceremony. Everyone knows the conflicting feelings that come with waiting. Now imagine awaiting an incarcerated partner? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the period spanning clinical death and revival? This contemplative show, host Katy Davis collects remarkable accounts of managing unpredictable situations.

The Interventionist

This series from a major media investigative unit continues their reputation of thorough examinations into debated issues. Journalist Dyan Neary meets parents whose kids were removed from their care after reports of harm were made by the same doctor, and questions whether a preventive measure was justified.

The Truth Unveiled

Freedom of information requests aren't the sexiest topic, but journalist Jason Leopold and First Amendment attorney Matt Topic make them a compelling series. The revelations they've discovered by using them in the US feature obtaining confirmation from Trump's assistant to admit to a court that the leader's social media posts aren't factual.

European Comparison: Top Performers

A new miniseries puts EU nations against each other on accommodation, parental support and substance regulations to identify the best. The childcare episode analyzes different concerns including Iceland's feminist protest to the situation where much-vaunted Sweden problematically reduces daycare for young children if a new sibling arrives. The top-ranked support service? It isn't from Scandinavia.
