Best Choices
I care a lot (Netflix, Friday, 3:01): “I care a lot it is not a brilliantly subversive social satire. It is a small, well-constructed image, masterfully represented and slightly stylish, which reveals how cruel it can be. It is not essential and it is not for everyone. But for those who prefer their pulp to carry the faint aroma of moral rot, this film is a real treat. ” Read the rest of Noel Murray’s B + analysis here.

Wild cards
For all mankind (Apple TV +, Friday, 12:01, season two premiere): “Although I still run with optimism, For all mankind it is not intended to be a comfort TV. The program’s adherence to our story, which seemed difficult in the first season, comes together in the second – all the magic of technology in the world cannot change the past. American exceptionalism continues to drive xenophobic policies, a recession is looming and an icy strain seems destined to explode in global conflicts. If For all mankind started as a rallying cry in the midst of one of the most demoralizing and dangerous presidencies, it now serves as a reminder of how progress can be incrementally and hard-won. The opportunities offered to an individual or group remain scarce elsewhere. The struggle – whether for social justice or, less nobly, for lunar rule – is just beginning. ” Read the rest of Danette Chavez’s pre-air review here.
