Three Underrated Shows on Peacock You Should Watch in November 2024
Get ready to enjoy thrills, comedy, and real-life dramas in three underrated Peacock series you can't miss this November.
Peacock is enjoying an exceptional season thanks to its partnership with NBC. Although the streaming platform will have to wait a few months for the remaining episodes of season 5 of Yellowstone, NBC's new shows are available the next day on Peacock. This allows users to explore both the new series and the network's returns at their own pace.
One of the most recent premieres of this season is St. Denis Medical, which stands out as one of the three underrated shows that should be watched in November. Accompanying this recommendation is a crime thriller from over two decades ago and a documentary series addressing one of the most notorious scandals in Hollywood in recent years.
Crossing Jordan (2001-2007) was a modest success in its time, but today it boasts a cast that many current productions would envy. Mahershala Ali was part of the first season, along with names like Miguel Ferrer, Kathryn Hahn, Jerry O'Connell, and Leslie Bibb. Nonetheless, this drama revolves around Jill Hennessy, who plays Dr. Jordan Cavanaugh, a forensic pathologist who becomes a detective to solve cases that might go unanswered. The series managed to establish itself with a solid cast, particularly with its chief, Dr. Garret Macy, played by Ferrer. With over 100 episodes available, it is an ideal option to keep you entertained for several weeks.
St. Denis Medical (2024), on the other hand, intriguingly blends drama and comedy, preventing one genre from overshadowing the other. Starring Allison Tolman, the series adopts the mockumentary format popularized by The Office and Parks and Recreation. The story follows Alex, a supervising nurse working under the direction of Joyce in an underfunded hospital in Oregon. The series addresses the differing ideas that medical and administrative staff have about how the hospital should operate, along with the serious health issues they face.
Finally, Anatomy of Lies (2024) is a documentary series that tells the surprising story of Elizabeth Finch, who presented herself as a cancer survivor and made a name for herself as a writer and producer on Grey’s Anatomy. However, the reality behind her narrative turned out to be a web of deceit, which included faking her illness. This series could not exist without the intervention of her wife, Jennifer Beyer, who revealed Finch's lies and collaborated with the documentary to provide a deep insight into the years of deception she suffered along with her children.
