@sarahminaosman.bsky.social on #Netflix's "Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery": This well-done whodunit supplies an insightful look at how money, politics, and religion have become intertwined—and where that may be taking us.

@sarahminaosman.bsky.social writes that "Wicked: For Good "has its faults, but it still stands out as one of the stronger adaptations of a musical to film.

HBO Max's "The Seduction" is visually stunning but, even though it is the magnificently clothed French aristocracy, @sarahminaosman.bsky.social writes that it all comes down to unremarkable people behaving badly.

While not without its flaws, the @netflix.com series #TheNewForce proves that traditional TV cop drama can be given a new spin, and @sarahminaosman.bsky.social says it is especially gratifying when the innovation involves kick-ass women.

@sarahminaosman.bsky.social on #LenaDunham's new @netflix.com series "Too Much." Dunham is not known for modulation — and there’s a good chance that the series’ swings from comedy to tragedy are indeed going to become too much.
