The U.S. and the Holocaust: Season 1 (2022) 100% EDIT “For all the darkness of the history, there is much that’s irresistible about the six hours of this saga.” – Wall Street Journal Sep 15, 2022 Full Review Ten Percent: Season 1 (2022) 75% EDIT “It’s a measure of the speed with which writer-director Morton’s skills make themselves felt that Ten Percent quickly establishes something close to a perfect blend of satire and geniality in this portrait of a ruthlessly competitive world. ” – Wall Street Journal Apr 28, 2022 Full Review Ridley Road: Season 1 (2022) 86% EDIT “The series’ powers profit immensely from its treasure of period detail.” – Wall Street Journal Apr 28, 2022 Full Review Rise of the Nazis: Season 2 (2022) EDIT “A documentary, narrated by Kate Fleetwood, extraordinary for its depth and its eye for the unforgettable.” – Wall Street Journal Apr 15, 2022 Full Review Anatomy of a Scandal: Season 1 (2022) 57% EDIT “There is, the wandering plot notwithstanding, plenty of reason to relish the antic tone, the way the aimless banter and the flashes of wit manage to instill life into otherwise feeble exchanges.” – Wall Street Journal Apr 15, 2022 Full Review Benjamin Franklin: Season 1 (2022) 80% EDIT “In addition to the usual appeal of chronicles of this kind steeped in the tone and feel of imminent war, the film can be credited for the immediacy of its images of a world long past.” – Wall Street Journal Apr 1, 2022 Full Review Final Moments: Season 1 (2022) EDIT “It’s the characters drawn in depth who ensure that the story of a man gone missing becomes something more than that -- becomes, instead, steadily enticing.” – Wall Street Journal Apr 1, 2022 Full Review Frontline: Season 40, Episode 8 (2022) EDIT “A film bottomless in its fascinations.” – Wall Street Journal Mar 18, 2022 Full Review WeCrashed: Season 1 (2022) 65% EDIT “Both [Anne Hathaway and Jared Leto] inhabit their characters so persuasively, relate to one another -- and the world -- so credibly that it becomes impossible not to feel the depth of their connection.” – Wall Street Journal Mar 18, 2022 Full Review The Thing About Pam: Season 1 (2022) 48% EDIT “Its purpose, generally, is to keep things reassuringly intimate, and above the fray. Such things aside, all in all this is a wholly compelling tale.” – Wall Street Journal Mar 4, 2022 Full Review Shining Vale: Season 1 (2022) 71% EDIT “A remarkably solid tale, notwithstanding its considerable population of deranged characters and nonhuman conspirators.” – Wall Street Journal Mar 4, 2022 Full Review Lincoln's Dilemma: Season 1 (2022) 94% EDIT “The docuseries is at its best, dramatically speaking, in its history of all that led to the outbreak of the Civil War -- a concise narrative that succeeds in capturing the tone and flavor of the times” – Wall Street Journal Feb 19, 2022 Full Review LBJ: Triumph and Tragedy: Season 1 (2022) EDIT “In this powerful chronicle of a presidency, the history of the times shines out with a priceless clarity.” – Wall Street Journal Feb 19, 2022 Full Review Suspicion: Season 1 (2022) 48% EDIT “This is political-thriller territory of a special kind, as riveting as it is complex.” – Wall Street Journal Feb 4, 2022 Full Review Dalgliesh: Season 1 (2021) 71% EDIT “For all their intrinsic power, these images of sudden horror are mere details compared with the storytelling that brings this series to roaring life.” – Wall Street Journal Oct 29, 2021 Full Review Head of the Class: Season 1 (2021) 67% EDIT “Miles is a sign of hope for the introduction of human characters, capable of feeling, and a gift to the show. It is an extraordinary performance by Adrian Matthew Escalona.” – Wall Street Journal Oct 29, 2021 Full Review Maid: Season 1 (2021) 94% EDIT “A drama of remarkable potency, its bloated length notwithstanding.” – Wall Street Journal Oct 2, 2021 Full Review Jaguar: Season 1 (2021) EDIT “The power of Jaguar is considerable, no small thanks to the caustic history it recounts, particularly about things like the "ratlines," networks devoted to helping Nazi war criminals to flee.” – Wall Street Journal Sep 16, 2021 Full Review The Chair: Season 1 (2021) 86% EDIT “It's a bleak picture. Still, The Chair is full of charm, and a captivating humor.” – Wall Street Journal Aug 19, 2021 Full Review Mr. Corman: Season 1 (2021) 70% EDIT “Joseph Gordon-Levitt's perfect rendering of the torments of a full-scale panic attack merits all accolades that come to mind. Including, of course, "breathtaking."” – Wall Street Journal Aug 6, 2021 Full Review Dr. Death: Season 1 (2021) 93% EDIT “The most striking aspect of this story, perhaps, is the current of plausibility that runs through it all, that says this is what can happen, this is what did happen to the victims of someone revered as an authority, like Duntsch.” – Wall Street Journal Jul 9, 2021 Full Review Dogs With Extraordinary Jobs: Season 1 (2019) EDIT “The list of canine jobs covered in this series is long, and varied, the employees splendid to behold.” – Wall Street Journal Jun 30, 2021 Full Review Frontline: Season 39 (2020) EDIT “Riveting and richly complex.” – Wall Street Journal Jun 30, 2021 Full Review The Real Manhunter: Season 1 (2021) EDIT “The prime strength of this tale derives, not surprisingly, from Mr. Sutton, whose reflections on the past, on what it finally took to catch the predator known as The Night Stalker, come charged with a subtle intensity.” – Wall Street Journal Jun 14, 2021 Full Review Penguin Town: Season 1 (2021) 100% EDIT “The celebration is in the minds of viewers following this enchanting sight, this filmed gift in eight parts narrated by Patton Oswalt.” – Wall Street Journal Jun 11, 2021 Full Review
