Disney+’s latest big series out Thursday focuses on “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.” Tatiana Maslany of “Orphan Black” stars as a woman who picks up her cousin’s powers through a blood infusion and has a better go at controlling her rage while continuing her work as a lawyer.
Earlier this year, HBO released the controversial scripted series “Winning Time” about the rise of the Los Angeles Lakers in the early 1990s that was criticized for its loose interpretation of the people involved. Now there’s a documentary with cooperation from many of the key players coming out Monday on Hulu on the same topic. It is titled, probably on purpose, “Legacy: The True Story of the LA Lakers,”
Plus, one of the most heralded series in AMC’s history, “Better Call Saul,” comes to an end after six seasons on Monday.
Netflix on Wednesday features a dramedy “Look Both Ways,” where Natalie (Lili Reinhart) finds that her life has split into two separate timelines, one in which she is pregnant and must adapt to life as a young mother in Texas, and one where she takes off to L.A. to pursue a career. Luke Wilson plays her dad. And feline fans will enjoy the “In the Mind of a Cat” documentary Thursday.
The big Apple TV+ series this week Friday is “Bad Sisters,” a blend of comedy and thriller where the Garvey sisters are under investigation by a life insurance company of their recently deceased brother-in-law.
And over on Paramount+ on Friday is a psychological horror film that is embodied in its title “Orphan: First Kill.” Julia Stiles is one of the stars in the movie.
