Agatha Christie’s Towards Zero

Kicking off at an opulent party at a seaside estate featuring a tennis star, his wife, and his ex-wife (said to be inspired by David and Victoria Beckham), the BBC’s latest Agatha Christie adaptation, set in 1936, focuses more on events leading up to a murder, with complex motives and overlaps to unravel. It also stars Anjelica Huston and Oliver Jackson-Cohen and several other familiar faces. “It is well written and well acted, a romantic distraction from our many modern woes, and like any new Christie adaptation feels like the sun coming out after a long winter.” – Carol Midgley, The Times (UK). Read the review.

The Dark Money Game

An urgent and revealing two-part documentary about the role and impact of untraceable donors to political campaigns — also known as dark money. Divided into two films, the first investigates the death of a powerful political lobbyist and its overlap with Ohio’s largest public corruption case, exposing a secret $61 million slush fund. Oscar-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney is behind the two films, which are based on the book by The New Yorker‘s investigative journalist Jane Mayer.  9pm on HBO and Max.

Best baseball movie for middle aged men

Eephus

A tribute to small towns, adult rec leagues, and the power of baseball to create community, Eephus is for anyone who remembers the Bad News Bears.  It follows two recreational baseball teams filled with aging men as they play their final game on a field doomed for demolition, and it features two Red Sox legends (you will have to watch it to see which ones).  Now streaming on PVOD platforms like Apple, Amazon, and Fandango at Home. “Its pearls of practical wisdom and jewels of melancholic wit make Eephus a gem, which is fitting, for a movie about a game played on a diamond.” – Jessica Kiang, Variety

Dying for Sex

Five-time Oscar nominee Michelle Williams stars in this true story-inspired comedic drama about a woman who decides to leave her husband and explore all of her sexual fantasies after being diagnosed with late-stage breast cancer.  Jenny Slate, Jay Duplass, Rob Delaney, and Sissy Spacek also star.  From LA Times‘ Mary McNamara: “It could also be this century’s ‘Love Story.’ …Funny, heartbreaking, deeply humane and more than occasionally insightful as hell.” (Read the review)  Note that unlike Love Story, this one involves sex parties and some very racy scenes. All eight episodes stream today on Hulu.

Handmaid’s Tale S6

Revolution is in the air in the final season of the powerful drama about a totalitarian society that subjugates women, which found all new relevance during the 2024 election, as commentators and activists compared some of the campaign rhetoric to that coming from the authoritarian regime depicted in the hit Hulu series.
