Tyler Perry’s Doing Life has the kind of premise that can easily sound as though it came from a real newspaper story. Anika is a single mother and former correctional officer whose life becomes connected to Carousel, an incarcerated man who later tries to rebuild himself after leaving prison. Their relationship develops through letters before…
Apple TV’s The Sisters Grimm does not treat Michael Buckley’s novels like a rigid episode-by-episode blueprint. The animated series keeps the books’ basic world, characters and mystery structure, but condenses adventures, changes chronology and keeps Sabrina and Daphne’s missing parents much closer to the center of the television story. That becomes especially clear in Season…
Tyler Perry’s Doing Life begins with two people who have every reason to believe their futures have already been decided for them. Anika is a single mother carrying the weight of her family largely on her own, while Carousel is serving time with a past that continues to define how people see him long after…
Kill Jackie gives Jackie Price a life built around movement.

Yet Jackie Price did not begin on the page as Jackie at all. The AMC+ and Prime Video…

Netflix’s ‘Love Is Blind: Netherlands’ takes the familiar dating experiment outside the Netherlands for some of its most important stages. The first season follows 30 Dutch singles as they date without seeing one another, get engaged, and then test their relationships in the real world. Production primarily used locations in Sweden, Zanzibar, and the Netherlands,…
The remote vacation home in M. Night Shyamalan’s Knock at the Cabin is supposed to feel cut off from civilization, leaving Andrew, Eric, and Wen with almost no way of knowing whether the terrifying claims made by their four visitors are actually true. The production achieved that isolation in South Jersey’s Pine Barrens, but the…
