What's New on TV, Netflix, Digital, and DVD/Blu-ray This Week: Dec. 26-Jan. 1

At a loss for what to watch this week? From new TV, we've got you covered.

TV Worth Watching

"Sherlock" Season 4 (Sunday on PBS at 9 p.m.)
In Season 4, Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) will face his most challenging opponents yet: a baby and a dog. Here's PBS's synopsis for the 1.5-hour opener, "The Six Thatchers": "In the Season 4 premiere, Holmes is back on British soil; and Watson (Martin Freeman) and Mary (Amanda Abbington) face a monumental challenge: parenthood." This season -- featuring Toby Jones as the new villain -- is meant to be brutal but very funny, and the cast/crew's favorite to date.

"The Mick" (Sunday on Fox at 8 p.m.)
In Fox's new comedy, Kaitlin Olson of the endlessly hilarious "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" stars as Mackenzie, aka Mickey, a hard-partying opportunist who signs on to raise her sister's three spoiled kids in a rich Connecticut neighborhood when the parents flee the country to escape federal charges. So it's like if Teresa and Joe Giudice had fled the country and left a relative to raise their kids.

"Project Runway: Junior" (Thursday on Lifetime at 9 p.m.)
The second season of this charming PR spinoff premiered after the "Project Runway" Season 15 finale on Dec. 22, but this is the timeslot premiere, giving you another chance to get to know the young designers -- who are always better behaved and more mature than their adult counterparts.

New on DVD and Blu-ray

"The Dressmaker"
Kate Winslet plays a glamorous, worldly dressmaker who returns to her small Australian hometown to seek the truth behind her notorious reputation. The dark and quirky comedy co-stars Judy Davis, Hugo Weaving, and Liam Hemsworth, and you can watch it on Blu-ray, DVD, and VOD Dec. 27. Bonus features include two featurettes, "The Story" and "Designing The Dressmaker."
