STREAMING & EARLY PRIMETIME

πŸ“Ί The 4400 (Netflix, now): I found the CW remake to be a disappointment. But you can still revisit the original USA series, which aired not that long ago. The sci-fi drama still finds 4400 people from across recent history suddenly reappearing. The first season is a miniseries, which has its ups and downs. The second season is much more ironed out as the mystery of the 4400 is more layered and bigger/better mysteries are set into motion. I don't care that it ends on a cliffhanger.

Bullsh*t the Game Show (Netflix, 3 a.m.): SEASON ONE. "A mix between a traditional quiz show and the card game called Cheat (also known as I Doubt It or Bullshit). We'll see players working their way up the money ladder by answering questions correctly or wrongly. They can and will, get called out, however."

Moon Knight (Disney+, 3 a.m.): Stuff about Egypt is supposedly getting crazy with some terrible dialogue.

πŸŽ₯ Silverton Siege (Netflix, 3 a.m.): "Follows three young freedom fighters who seek refuge in a South African bank in Silverton, and take the bank and its customers hostage and would only release them in exchange for the release of Nelson Mandela."

Sketchbook (Disney+, 3 a.m.): SEASON ONE. A docuseries about six animators as Disney "embarks on the welcome return of traditional 2D — just ahead of its 100th anniversary in 2023." Basically more Disney self-marketing.

⭐πŸŽ₯ The Survivor (HBO): Post World War II, Harry Haft (Ben Foster) is a boxer who fought fellow prisoners in the concentration camps to survive. Haunted by memories and guilt, he attempts to use high-profile fights against boxing legends like Rocky Marciano as a way to find his first love again. The cast for this Barry Levinson movie includes John Leguizamo, Danny DeVito, Vicky Krieps, and Peter Sarsgaard.✔️
