Zero Day
In Zero Day, America goes dark, and George must bring back the light—both literally and symbolically. But its content makes that task harder.
Reacher
The title character is bigger and bulkier now than in the Tom Cruise movies. But so are the problems.
Yellowjackets
Twenty-five years after a plane crash in the wilderness, the survivors hide nefarious secrets about their troubled pasts in Showtime’s Yellowjackets.
Burden of Guilt
Unlike some true crime shows, Burden of Guilt steers clear of exploiting victims of tragedy. But its disturbing subject matter might not be for everyone.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Belle Gibson, like a great snake oil salesman, said that healthy eating could cure cancer. Clearly she was lying. But she may also have been deluded.

Babanba Banban Vampire
In Netflix’s new anime series Babanba Banban Vampire, a 450-year-old vampire longs for the untainted blood of a 15-year-old boy.

On Call
What’s shown here may be reminiscent of what real police officers have seen on the job. I’m not sure the show’s message is strong enough to justify depicting it.
