Hardened by fake news, we distrust any meme exploiting childhood innocence. All of which makes Disneyland Dream wildly disarming.
Dad Robbins was an early home video enthusiast and decided to film the process, from creating their entries to their subsequent victory and vacation. He creates simple in-camera effects that capture his intoxicating sense of wonder. He films every member of the family reading the congratulatory letter, then falling down in theatrical slo-mo.
In the park, mum Meg shakes open a folded bag and pulls out hamburgers and milk for everyone. Nearby, the Angulo brothers had been kept under virtual house arrest for 14 years by their father, living entirely within the glow of the movies that came through their TV. Goodfellas, Batman, Taxi Driver: Essentially a real-life version of US drama Friday Night Lights , the doc follows a team of underdogs in a no-mark Mississippi town, transformed by a bullish coach and academic advisor into a national championship winning, win-streak hotshot of a team — and a last resort for those hoping to graduate to the NFL.
Ripper Street Amazon Prime You might be wronger than you were about jellied eels when it comes to Ripper Street, the BBC crime saga cancelled after two seasons and then rescued by Amazon. Human life crams the thoroughfares, bringing stories of horror, survival, redemption and regret. Here, every word crackles with meaning, encapsulating the hope and despair of the life that clings to its flagstones. No man or woman is an island and though the moral pendulum swings wildly, all must answer to a higher power in the end. Incredible guest performances from David Threlfall, Jonas Armstrong and Joseph Mawle add texture to the already dense tapestry, and several episodes are true works of art.
For me, it has always stood out for its truly remarkable writing and the kind of dialogue no other British drama has come near since; every sentence a meticulous, filigreed spoonful. The delicious, meaty ensemble performances surround Macfadyen as he presides over his grizzly archive: In later series, add to that the rousing performance of Lydia Wilson as music hall proprietress Mimi Morton and you have a Victorian A-Team of sorts, delivering justice by their own means. The men fight demons but the women do not simper nearby. They run businesses and commit murders and have as much agency as the male counterparts.
I defy you to find another period drama that evens the gender scales so admirably.
If you crave poetry and invention with your crime capers, five seasons await. Riley Keough is sensational as Christine, a law student who is drawn into a lucrative sideline: The show explores power, money and misogyny via the sad millionaires who hire Christine. But our focus is her emergence as a shark-eyed sociopath, bent on revenge against … the patriarchy?
Set in a dystopian future, it finds the vast majority of the populace living in squalor, but at the age of 20, young people take part in a series of tests which could allow them access to a utopian paradise called the Offshore. Weighed heavy with other film and literary touchstones from The Hunger Games to Lord of the Flies, candidates are sent to a futuristic desert facility to commence the rigorous, dangerous process.
What it lacks in production dollars it makes up for in the compulsive viewing stakes. Leaders emerge, alliances form and a resistance movement plots revolution. Inside No 9 Netflix Witch trials, office karaoke, snuff films, party games, incestuous cannibalism: With help from a rotating cast of acting aristocracy, the League of Gentlemen duo have spent three series battering down the divisions between comedy, horror and drama.
However, one episode towers above the rest: It stars Shiri Appleby as mentally unstable producer Rachel, trapped in a mutually destructive working relationship with exec producer Quinn Constance Zimmer who is basically molten lava in female form.
Her current focus is a piece on trans people in her local area — not in a Jerry Springer-style sensationalist way, as her bigoted friend suggests — but through a thoroughly reported, warm and relatable narrative which positions trans people as visible members of society rather than a spectral other. We collectively wince as Allie asks the sort of clunky, blunt questions about sexual orientation that a cisgendered person would never get asked. Allie generally gets it wrong while attempting to do right, and the small budget show manages to tell a nuanced story in short, seven minute-long episodes.
Aside from ploughing through a barrage of hearty subjects seamlessly, the series also manages to remain light and full of savvy humour.
Overall, Her Story is a series so nourishing and skillfully woven that the YouTube comments overflow with thankful and abundant praise. Through her journalism, Allie befriends Violet, who transitioned to a woman. Running parallel to this relationship is the story of high-powered attorney Paige, who falls for a bison-like hunk. She decides not to come out to him immediately. In June this year, a group of rising trans and gender non-binary actors made a campaign video asking the film and TV industry to break with their tradition of casting trans actors in cliched roles — the prostitute, the psychopath, the jester.
As a series, Her Story succeeds in the places where the rest of Hollywood and even Transparent has failed, by casting trans actors in its lead roles. It is authentic, richly educational, and an elegantly easy watch. As Allie eventually writes in her article on the lives of trans people: Horace and Pete louisck. Go here to watch it. We hope you like it. Funded, shot and distributed by CK, who also played one of the leads, it was as singular a vision as you are ever likely to see. The bar has been in the family for a century, and has degraded with each generation. There are depressive barflies; there is abuse; there is mental illness; there is cancer.

Make no mistake, this is not a comedy. It goes to dark places, and stays there without flinching. On Cinema YouTube As shown by the huge popularity of off-the-wall animation Rick and Morty and news of a Big Night Out special from Vic and Bob , comedy fans are searching for ever more surreal places to escape to. A natural home for this is subversive US TV network Adult Swim, which has long provided us with some of the most uncanny comedies around, and now offers film-themed web series On Cinema, hosted by prolific comic Tim Heidecker and Gregg Turkington of Neil Hamburger fame.
All of this eternally frustrates Turkington, who just wants to discuss his extensive VHS collection. Binging With Babish is a curiously hypnotic watch; slick editing, a smartmouth narrative track and a hands-only view of the action makes it at once more and less than a traditional cooking show, something you can both watch and half-watch at the same time.
