Generally I do not watch shows such as Adolescence. This bracing, relentlessly unsettling, four-part British drama, however, is so arresting it demands attention. Having recently premiered on Netflix, it is unlike any other police investigation series I’ve ever seen. Here is what it is about. A police tactical team swarms a suburban house, burst into
While I’m not crazy about the too-inside basketball title, Netflix’s sports comedy Running Point is off to a fast start. The series stars Kate Hudson as reformed party girl Isla Gordon, who vaults from being the overlooked coordinator of charitable endeavours to becoming the very hands-on president of the Los Angeles Waves pro basketball team.
Season Two of Mo, now streaming on Netflix, finds our hero in a tight spot. If you recall where season one left off (and why should you? Season One premiered way back in 2022), Mohammed “Mo” Najjar (Mo Amer) was stuffed into the back of a truck full of uprooted fruit trees having illegally crossed

If you believe that those who fail to study history are doomed to repeat it, this is probably a very good time to watch Churchill at War. You can’t help but watch and not think: with dictatorships would-be kings and other autocratic leaders ascending to power around the world, where is the Churchill of today?
There aren’t many stars who never wear out their welcome. One is Ted Danson, who I believe now has the record for most episodes in prime time for a leading actor on television. The 76-year-old broke out on Cheers over 40 years ago and helped define a golden age of TV sitcoms. Becker followed and
