Caught by the Tides

Part documentary, part drama, the critically-acclaimed indie film follows a singer from Datong, China who falls in love with a gangster. After he disappears one day to find his fortune, she sets out on a journey to find him, traveling through cities reshaped by the tides — and modernization.  Shot over the course of 22 years, director Jia Zhangkethe tells a poetic, impressionistic story about love and loss, transformation and displacement.  Stream it on PVODs like Apple and Fandango for $5.99.

Damascus

Imagine being dropped into the alternate versions of your life — those roads not taken — using a new psychiatric therapy?  That’s the premise of this inventive, six-episode comedy that tries out a different genre with each episode and each life, from a relationships reality show to a satire to a domestic drama.  Station 19’s Okieriete Onaodowan plays the lead — with legends Martin Lawrence and Janet Hubert co-starring.  Where to find it: Tubi.  Which is free.

Why watch Wednesday season 2 on Netflix?

Wednesday S2

%%tb-image-alt-text%%
Wednesday S2

A deeper and darker second season of the hit Addams family show finally arrives for August binge-watching, with an all new supernatural mystery, a quicker pace, and more of the family.  Wednesday investigates a new series of murders and makes new friends, and Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones), Gomez (Luis Guzmán), and Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez) play a bigger part. But look for Lady Gaga, Thandiwe Newton, Steve Buscemi, Christopher Lloyd, Haley Joel Osment, and Frances O’Connor — as well as the fingerprints of Tim Burton (he once again directs half of the episodes).  It’s still considered “horror light,” but the murders, jump scares, monsters, and macabre humor can be unsettling. Four episodes arrive today and end with a cliffhanger. The remaining four arrive September 3rd for the payoff…just before school starts.

My Oxford Year

My Oxford Year

An American woman with literary ambitions lands at Oxford University, the place of her childhood fantasies, but ends up in a steamy romance with a man who isn’t part of the dream. Part romcom, part melodrama, the adaptation of the novel of the same name by Julia Whelan has earned decidedly mixed reviews for its lack of literary heft, but the setting, the set-up, and the leads Sofia Carson and Corey Mylchreest are the draws here.

Eyes of Wakanda

Part of the new phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (which just kicked off with the Fantastic Four reboot in theaters), Disney’s four-part animated anthology is also a Black Panther prequel. It follows Wakandan warriors who travel the world recover artifacts from four pivotal eras—1260 BC Crete, the Trojan War, 1400 AD China, and 1896 AD Ethiopia. Each 30 minute episode stands alone, but also falls within the MCU’s Sacred Timeline. But you don’t need any prior Marvel knowledge to get into the action, intrigue, and cultural history lessons.

King of the Hill

%%tb-image-alt-text%%
King of the Hill

Could this be the show where political opponents find common comedy ground?  Sixteen years after it ended its reign on FOX, Hulu is bringing back the animated TV-14 sitcom from legends Mike Judge (Silicon Valley, Beavis and Butt-Head) and Greg Daniels (The Office, Parks and Recreation).  After a decade in Saudi Arabia Hank and Peggy Hill are back in Arlen, Texas and retired, and trying to come to terms with all of the Ubers and Whole Foods.  Their son Bobby now owns a Japanese-German fusion restaurant in Dallas, and they’re up against “manosphere influencers, soccer haters, and conspiracy theorists — but the hot button topics are handled with nuance and lighthearted comedy.  Several of the original cast return, including Judge, Pamela Adlon, Kathy Najimy, Lauren Tom, Stephen Root, Toby Huss, and the late Johnny Hardwick (who passed away after recording a few episodes). Ronny Chieng joins as neighbor Kahn.  Ten new episodes drop today.
