Hulu begins streaming episodes of the 1992 sitcom spinoff “The Golden Palace.”
Originally intended to anticipate Betty White’s 100th birthday, it now provides a way to appreciate the timeless comedian, who died at 99 on Dec. 31.
A sequel to the long-running “Golden Girls,” “Palace” starred three members of that series, White, Rue McClanahan and Estelle Getty. It marked the first regular series role for Don Cheadle (“Hotel Rwanda”).
“Palace” picked up the story without actress Bea Arthur. It ran only one 24-episode season, following in a long tradition of networks trying to extract more magic out of a beloved sitcom, as they had done with several comedies starring Mary Tyler Moore and Lucille Ball, among others.
• Netflix streams the third season of the Dutch police procedural thriller “Undercover,” following agents who have infiltrated the world of a Flemish-speaking drug kingpin.
• A mystery comedy blending criminal investigation with the world of detective novelists, “Queens of Mystery,” streaming its second season on Acorn, follows Matilda Stone (Olivia Vinall in season 1; now played by Florence Hall), a young detective assigned to the bucolic small village that happens to be the home of her three aunts, each writing detective novels in their own particular style.
“Queens of Mystery” walks that fine line separating “clever,” “cute” and “whimsical,” recommended for viewers steeped in the genre who appreciate (and/or forgive) all things British.
