In “Edward,” Mrs. Hall finally gets the chance to meet her estranged son. Now a young man, Edward (Conor Deane) is almost a different person from the young child she last saw. As Edward faces an imminent deployment in the early days of World War II, he takes the opportunity to meet his mother for a short afternoon at a train station.

One Night In Miami (2020) is currently available on Blu-ray on the Criterion Collection
Adapted by Kemp Powers from his acclaimed play, the feature directorial debut of Academy Award–winning actor Regina King puts viewers in a room with four icons at the forefront of Black American culture as they carouse, clash, bare their souls, and grapple with their places within the sweeping change of the civil rights movement. February 25, 1964, has gone down in history as the day that the brash young boxer Muhammad Ali (then known as Cassius Clay) defeated Sonny Liston, but what happened after the fight was perhaps even more incredible: Ali, civil rights leader Malcolm X, NFL great Jim Brown, and “King of Soul” Sam Cooke all came together at a Miami motel.

[Editor’s Note: The following interview contains spoilers for “All Creatures Great and Small” Season 1, including the ending of the finale.]
There are many ways that “All Creatures Great and Small” feels like a soothing force in the current TV world, but one might not be fully apparent until the ending moments of the Christmas special that closes out the show’s first season on PBS. The seventh chapter of this adaptation update — one that also includes some surprise sleigh bells in the breezy opening theme music and important plot points driven by the presence of mistletoe — concludes without the season ever seeing a true antagonist.
As series creator and writer Ben Vanstone explained, that was always part of the plan.
“I made a rule quite early on in the process that I don’t think there are any villains in this piece,” Vanstone said. “You have to find that drama in a different place. And I think that having that restriction,...

This The Last Kingdom review contains spoilers.
The Last Kingdom Season 4 Episode 6
Q. What the difference between the Sickness and a royal husband?
A. The Sickness doesn’t demand a dowry before it kills ya!
Bit of early 10th century stand-up for you there. Not that young Aelfwynn’s laughing, the child’s current options being either death by pestilence, or marriage to a man old enough to be her (grand)father. Episode six closed on the poor waif ailing in the arms of Eadith – now simply a companion and not a future sister-in-law after Eardwulf was sent packing.
Why a band of loyal Mercian soldiers allowed the murderer of their king to gallop away is a puzzler. Surely upon production of that royal seal, Eardwulf should have been turned into a human colander by his guards’ swords, or at the very least dragged back to Aylesbury for punishment? Instead,...

2.4 Emilie
So four episodes in – nearly halfway – and we’ve had a pretty good season so far, a so-so opener but two strong follow-ups and now Emilie which sits somewhere comfortably inbetween. Written by Showrunner Adrian Hodges and directed by Andy Hay (of first season’s Knight Takes Queen and The Exiles as well as a future episode within this season), Emilie is a very different beast than last week’s somewhat frenetic The Good Traitor. However, whereas The Good Traitor was better than the sum of its many parts, Emilie never seems to fly in the way the previous episode did. Here are a couple of thoughts on why that might be.
