The latest: Kate Hudson’s basketball comedy Running Point is swishy with critics. Mo is full of mirth even as world events weigh heavily on its shoulders in this second and final season. And Daredevil: Born Again is an ambitious and at times ungainly crime saga that marks a mature tonal shift for the MCU.
A Thousand Blows, inspired by the true life stories of a group of characters battling for survival in the brutal East End of London in the 1880s. And St. Denis, a tart and well-cast addition to the tried-and-true mockumentary sitcom genre.
