A workplace comedy about a son trying to get out of the shadow of his famous father, the Netflix series “Unstable” is cast to match its subject.
Rob Lowe plays biotech entrepreneur Ellis Dragon, a genius who has careened from a “do no evil and save the world” ethos to an emotional breakdown. His much more down-to-earth son, Logan (Rob’s son, John Owen Lowe), has the impossible task of repairing his frayed relationship with his father, saving the company from his dad’s erratic behavior and at the same time escaping the shadow of his famous name. And you thought nepo kids had all the fun?
Look for Fred Armisen (“Portlandia”) as Dragon’s not-so-stable therapist.
• Why has hip hop conquered the world? Why has it endured, and how long will its influence last? Has the genre changed, and can it evolve? These and other questions are the point of “Rap Caviar Presents,” a seven-episode docuseries now streaming on Hulu. All seven episodes now are available.
The series takes its name from Rap Caviar, a popular Spotify playlist that has been a go-to resource for new and popular sounds since 2015.
“Rap Caviar” begins with an introductory profile of the artist Tyler, the Creator and a discussion of his image and style, which defy many of the stereotypes of hyper-violent masculinity that for decades have been used to market the music. In addition to Tyler, artist profiles include City Girls, Jack Harlow, Polo G, Roddy Ricch, Coi Leray and others.

Blixen is better known by her pen name, Isak Dinesen, author of “Out of Africa.”
