Flatbush Misdemeanors 2

Channel: Me (DStv 115)
TX Time: 22h00
Genre: Comedy

Flatbush Misdemeanors 2

Flatbush Misdemeanors, created and written by Kevin Iso (High Fidelity) and Dan Perlman (That's My Bus!), who both star, is a raw comedy of city life following Dan and Kevin, who play characters struggling to thrive in their new surroundings in Flatbush, Brooklyn.

The show explores two long-time friends seeking to climb out of their heads and connect with others.

Rising comedians Dan and Kevin play fictionalised versions of themselves: neighbourhood best friends and urban millennials hilariously climbing the ladder to nowhere.

But even inside the losing, Dan and Kevin find there are little wins that come from tackling hipsters, mental health issues and the rising tide of gentrification.

As with the original shorts, many of the roles were cast with actors from Brooklyn or the Flatbush neighbourhood, including Kristin Dodson (The Shivering Truth) in the role of Zayna, one of Dan's outspoken high school students.

In Season 2 Dan, Kevin, Zayna and Drew are back in Flatbush.

Picking up where Season 1 left off, Kevin tries to distance himself from Drew's influence, yet Dan's connection to Drew only grows stronger.

Drew tries to correct his past mistakes, but they continue to haunt him.

Drew's niece Zayna ambitiously seeks to separate herself from her family's troubled past.

Meanwhile, Dan's stepdad Kareem continues to sell bicycles.

Season 2 follows these characters' unlikely and complicated relationships as they intersect through the worlds of art, drugs and bike repair.

In the Season 2 premiere, "Return": Dan seeks to clear his reputation so he can be reinstated as a teacher – but Kevin has left town and is ignoring his calls.

Drew, still in hiding from the police, struggles to get Zayna back in school.

Since the launch of the manned space program more than 50 years ago, cameras aboard NASA spacecraft have captured thousands of images that have been shared publicly to the delight of millions.

There are many show stars, views of Earth and other expected sights.

However, hundreds of these pictures reveal imagery that leave scientists scratching their heads.

NASA's Unexplained Files explores these mysteries and the latest evidence for life beyond Earth.

The series dives into the mysteries of some of NASA's most curious missions to explore stories of engineering achievement and human endurance.

Each episode offers first hand testimony from astronauts, NASA mission footage and CGI to bring to life these voyages that reveal unexplained sightings that have dogged many of NASA's most famous missions.

The series also helps puts age-old UFO conspiracies to rest and celebrates the science that has kept us in space for over half a century.

In the Season 2 premiere, "Life in Hell": A UFO crashes in Pennsylvania. Was it a secret Soviet satellite - or something far more dangerous?

On Mercury, NASA finds the impossible: frozen water.

A strange object causes a skyscraper-sized shadow on the surface of Mars's largest moon. What is it?
