TV shows to watch: Minnesota State Fair makes hilarious backdrop for Apple TV's 'Little America'

'Little America'

The second season of this anthology series that celebrates immigrants includes an episode based on Twin Cities chef Jamal Hashi's attempt to bring camel-on-a-stick to the Minnesota State Fair. The writers clearly didn't spend much time in the state; Little Mogadishu looks like a street in suburbia and one TV reporter sounds like she just stepped off the set of "Fargo." But there are some clever local references to Kowalski's, Moorhead and even the Star Tribune. There are also some terrific jokes about our Great Get-Together, including the notion that it offers up peaches-and-cream nachos. You'll probably recognize local actor Barkhad Abdi from his Oscar-nominated role in "Captain Phillips." Friday, Apple TV+
