Even in total junk, he’s almost always excellent, and that’s likely why he’s in talks for a major role inRick Famuyiwa’s intensely anticipatedThe Flash....

Netflix recently went all in on a new docuseries,The Keepers, which chronicles the murder of a nun in 1969 Baltimore, but what setsThe Keepersapart from these others shows is its emotional core. While the series does indeed delve into the murder of Sister Cathy Cesnick, there’s an even more sinister undercurrent having to do with systemic sexual abuse by a Catholic priest at an all-girls school....

My favorite sort of weather is snowy, and unless COP26 represents a turnaround in climate negotiations, that’s increasingly going to be a thing of the past....
