Flicks Recommends
Curb Your Enthusiasm: Season 11
Still going strong in its eleventh season, Curb’s mix of everyday and absurd comedy continues, with Larry David doing more of what he does best - even when making amends for spilling coffee on a KKK member’s robe (yes, you read that right). (NEON)
True Story (2021)
Some of this thriller’s plotting may leave a bit to be desired, but there’s joy in seeing Kevin Hart’s superstar comedian character squirm as his life falls apart - and even more pleasure in Wesley Snipes as his wayward brother. (NETFLIX)
Hellbound: Season 1
Netflix’s latest Korean sensation is an interesting, original show that’s worth a look, thanks in part to its depiction of how the world reacts to the sudden emergence of non-apocalyptic supernatural attacks. (NETFLIX)
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
Lesser-known Marvel hero gets the origin story treatment in a colourful celebration of Asian talent, combat and culture. Lends an excited freshness to what can feel like a familiar genre entry - helped too by the presence of legends Michelle Yeoh and Tony Leung. (DISNEY+)
The Beatles: Get Back
Beatlemaniacs will be surprised at this 3-part portrait of friendship, fame, and the creative process: the lads on the Long and Winding Road to their final project. (DISNEY+)
Dopesick: Season 1
While recent movies have struggled to relay the magnitude of America's opioid crisis, this miniseries does so with gripping and harrowing efficiency. (DISNEY+)
