A raunchy Peacock rom-com series about a woman whose sex life proves to be a real killer, and a tense holiday-time thriller about a TSA agent tangling with a mysterious caller and suspicious luggage top out roundup with laughs and thrills, in that order.

Here’s our roundup.

“Laid” >> Single-for-a-reason Ruby (Stephanie Hsu) makes a shocking discovery about her sex life that could kill any chance of her finding a soulmate. Seems all of her former lovers are dying off, in sequential to order. The edgy premise, re-principled from an Australian series of the same title, gets a raucous workout in Peacock’s rom-com-esque eight-episode original series that you can’t help but fall for. Yes, it has a rough spots, but it rights itself every time because of the comedic and dramatic chops of Hsu and others in this talented cast. The “Everything Everywhere All at Once” Oscar nominee somehow makes the stridently self-absorbed chatterbox Ruby endearing, even when her inconsiderate actions get annoying. She and literal-minded bestie AJ (Zosia Mamet, her perfect foil) scurry about trying to contact former lovers as well as figure out how to prevent more deaths from occurring, even for the guys whose hookups have should never happened. Further complicating matters is Ruby’s dreamy new client Isaac (Tommy Martinez, bringing all the charisma the role requires) as well as a guy who irritates her from her past, Richie (Michael Angarano). Executive producers Nahnatchka Khan (“Fresh Off the Boat”) and Sally Bradford McKenna (“Will & Grace”) have given us a welcome reason to smile and laugh — sometimes uncontrollably, sometimes uncomfortably, and oftentimes all too knowingly. Just get “Laid”; trust me, you’ll enjoy it.

“Carry-On” >> A last-minute shift change lands stuck-in-a-rut hunky TSA agent Ethan Kopek (Taron Egerton) onto the security checkpoint scanning line during the often-rude holiday rush, a move that disrupts and puts a huge snag in devious plans to smuggle a suspicious carry-on bag onto a plane. What’s inside said bag and who’s behind all of this and is now threatening to kill Ethan’s girlfriend (Sofia Carson) are the big question marks. Each fire up Ethan’s nascent police skills in director Jaume Collet-Serra’s preposterous but oh-so-fun guilty pleasure. Three are four reasons why “Carry-On” stays airborne: its undeniably gripping premise; its funny bits about obnoxious air travelers; the maniacal action sequences; and a procession of A-listers who are giving it their all. These include Jason Bateman as the enigmatic, deadly cell phone caller who directs Ethan to make his every move; Danielle Deadwyler as an L.A. police detective who smells a dirty rat; and, of course, Egerton — who knows how to bring the muscle to any project as well as a vulnerable likeability that can’t be denied. “Carry-On” aspires to being a new “Die Hard” for the holidays, but it’s not as first-class as that Bruce Willis classic, better suited to be in the comfy economy class. But it’s still one smooth and exciting flight.

“No Good Deed” >> Anyone from the Golden State realizes too well that the California real estate market crushes dreams, occasionally relationships. Three Los Angeles families get a bad taste of that as they try to outwit, outmaneuver each other so one could become owners of a swanky ‘20s-era villa in a very, very “nice” neighborhood. But the potential seller’s (played by Ray Romano and Lisa Kudrow) are peculiar and coping with prolonged grief along with divided opinions about the property itself, including whether to offload it. Created by the ever-crafty Liz Feldman — who gave us the superior, more surefooted “Dead to Me” with Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini — Netflix’s eight-episode black comedy series doesn’t grab you with the audaciousness of “Dead to Me” and it doesn’t always realize the full potential of its characters, but does it ever have one killer cast and an intriguing premise that takes a good twist near the end. Romano and especially Kudrow are given a chance to show their dramatic chops as the Morgans, but the clear standout is Cardellini, who plays a flashy and vain social climber married to sad-sack soap opera star JD Campbell (Luke Wilson). She gives the series its spark. The rest of the cast includes Teyonah Parris, O-T Fagbenle, Abbi Jacobson and Poppy Liu as the coupes vying for the property and Linda Lavin as a nosy neighbor you only wish would have gotten more scenes. The series would have been better condensed to six episodes, and the script should have been punched up to meet the talents of the cast.

“You Are Not Me” >> Lesbian married couple Aitana (Roser Tapias) and Gabi (Yapoena Silva) and their adopted baby son travel from Brazil to Spain to visit Aitana’s well-to-do parents and her brother during Christmastime. Aitana hasn’t visited in three years and she wants to “surprise” her parents by arriving a few days early. They receive the iciest of receptions and then watch Nadia (Anna Kurikka), a Romanian refugee that the family fawns over, takes her place at the table as the object of effusive parental affection. Directors/screenwriters Marisa Crespo and Moisés Romera flavor their you-can’t-go-home-again premise with a shocking horror story and social commentary that metes out the revelations patiently and then lets the bloodshed unfurl in its final act. It’s an impressive piece of genre filmmaking that is disturbing and multi-layered.
