Trade deadline day often starts slowly, as teams ramp up towards the 3 p.m. cutoff when most of the big deals happen with a flurry, but this year things got going with a rare 4-team trade that saw the Kings, Pistons, Bucks, and Clippers all get in on the action just before noon ET.
According to Shams Charania and Adrian Wojnarowski, the deal will see the Marvin Bagley III go to Detroit, Donte DiVincenzo, Josh Jackson, and Trey Lyles go to Sacramento, Serge Ibaka head to Milwaukee, Rodney Hood and Semi Ojeleye to the Clippers, and the Pistons shipping some future second round picks out.
ESPN Sources: Full trade participants: Kings: Donte DiVincenzo, Trey Lyles and Josh Jackson. Bucks: Serge Ibaka, two future second-round picks, cash. Clippers: Rodney Hood, Semi Ojele. Pistons: Marvin Bagley Jr.
It is quite the shuffling of the deck for all three teams, as the Pistons take a shot on Bagley finding something in a new location after a rather dreadful start to his career in Sacramento, which hasn’t been helped by injuries. The Bucks get the big man they’ve been rather desperately seeking all year with Brook Lopez sidelined with a back injury, both providing depth for the postseason should Lopez get back on the court and offering some insurance in case he isn’t able to be as impactful as he was in their title run while also adding some second round draft capital. The Clippers add some more backcourt and wing depth in Hood and Ojeleye, with the addition of Robert Covington making Ibaka expendable. The Kings add a solid shooter and very good defender on the wing, something they desperately need between De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis as they continue to revamp their roster.
Ivanka Trump and Jared “The Slim Reaper” Kushner reportedly made between $172 million and $640 million during their four years in the White House, giving them plenty of disposable income to spend on a mansion… and another mansion… and a $40,000/month “glass pile.” That’s how Washingtonian describes the Four Seasons in Surfside, Florida, where Trump and Kushner have been staying / retreating from the public eye while their “Billionaire Bunker” is under construction. But many folks living in Surfside, which went to Joe Biden in the 2020 election (although the mayor is “Trumpy”), are not happy about their funeral-crashing neighbors.
“It was, ‘Oh, good, the town is getting recognition.’ Then it was, ‘Oh, no, the psychos are coming,’” town commissioner Eliana Salzhauer told Washingtonian. “What are they doing in our town?” Another resident shared two encounters with the former-president’s daughter and son-in-law, one time with Trump ignoring a sign that forbids dogs from being on the beach and another time involving jellyfish and questionable parenting.
Ivanka and Jared were out at the ocean’s edge with their five-year-old son, Theodore. He walked up to the neighbor (who asked to remain anonymous because she continues to live near the family) and talked about a fish he’d caught. The neighbor reminded Jared, in swim trunks, and Ivanka, in a “cute ruffled outfit,” to watch out for jellyfish. Ivanka indicated she wouldn’t be swimming, but Theodore hurried into the ocean. The neighbor was immediately concerned.
“I’m thinking, Why is this boy in the water alone on a boogie board with this moderate rip current? I’m a mother, and I would never let my child alone in the water like that.”
Sure enough, young Theodore began drifting from shore, prompting Jared to run in after him.
“Slenderman moves quick,” the neighbor quips.
Her encounters with Ivanka only reinforced a long-held impression: “She seems to be about… ‘I live in this little cocoon where the rules don’t apply to me’… in her own little world.”
50 Cent has come a long way since his humble beginnings in Queens, New York. Long enough that he was actually bemused and dismayed upon learning that the Joe Biden administration’s plans to address America’s ongoing drug problem include distributing crack pipes to addicts — something that you might argue a younger 50 would have approved of in his pre-rap career. “OK, I don’t understand what’s going on now,” he wrote on Instagram while sharing the worrying headline. “Let’s just give them some crack everybody loves CRACK. SMH.”
The thing is, Biden’s plan to mitigate the damage of substance abuse does not include any provisions of the sort. Instead, the administration is working on a $30 million program to distribute safe drug kits — containing life-saving measures such as naloxone, fentanyl test strips, and clean syringes — to reduce the number of annual deaths from substance abuse and some of its side effects.
However, conservative outlets ran with the crack pipe framing because it’s easier to demonize addicts — especially if you can throw in some racist dog whistles — than to address the root causes or symptoms of America’s drug epidemic. The misleading reports were refuted by a statement from the US Department of Health and Human Services, which advised, “These comments are misleading and misinformed. Too many Americans have lost their lives to drug overdose. Evidence-based community harm reduction services such as naloxone, fentanyl test strips, and syringe services programs help people stay alive and are proven strategies for addressing this tragic epidemic.”
After previously laying waste to the Emmys for holding an indoor ceremony in the midst of COVID, Seth Rogen is back to call out yet another awards show. While promoting his new Super Bowl commercial with Paul Rudd, Rogen took aim at the Oscars, and more notably, Hollywood’s obsession with trying to get people outside of the industry to care about the ceremony. To Rogen, the whole thing is ridiculous.
“I don’t get why movie people care so much if other people care what awards we give ourselves,” Rogen told Insider before going in on the Academy Awards:
“To me, maybe people just don’t care,” the “Pam & Tommy” star continued. “I don’t care who wins the automobile awards. No other industry expects everyone to care about what awards they shower upon themselves. Maybe people just don’t care. Maybe they did for a while and they stopped caring. And why should they?”
The rant is peak Rogen, who has never shied away from sharing his blunt thoughts on a topic or blowing people up on social media if he sees them acting a fool. Heck, his latest Super Bowl ad for Lays potato chips revolves around him ranting about making teasers for commercials now. “That’s a thing?” Rogen asks Rudd in the recent spot. “But the commercial is incredible short in the first place, how long is the teaser?”
At this rate, we’re looking forward to Rogen’s future rants about the Grammys and Tony Awards to complete his EGOT for upsetting award show producers.
(Spoilers from HBO’s The White Lotus will be found below.)
Magnetic Aussie actor Murray Bartlett’s been kicking around the TV world for quite some time, but it was his turn in The White Lotus that got everyone’s attention. The show’s a brilliant wealth satire on several fronts, but Bartlett’s luxury resort manager, Armond, sure as heck set the world on fire while taking (much deserved, and if you wanna debate that, feel free to do so) vengeance upon Shane, one of the most obliviously obnoxious characters in recent history.
Armond, of course, took it upon himself to open up Shane’s suitcase and, as Jimmy Kimmel put it on Thursday night, “go #2.” The scene was a visceral and outrageous one that elicited startled responses from anyone who watched, and as Bartlett admitted to Kimmel, he was very surprised to see how “realistic” it looked while watching the scene “in audience mode.” He was actually “taken aback,” and then Bartlett got real about how “there was practical poop, and then they decided to go with CGI.” Apparently, there was chocolate and honey involved in the original version, and that’s far too much detail about this moment, and yet, this is undoubtedly the scene that Murray Bartlett will hear about most for the rest of his career.
Bartlett does, of course, confirm that he’s not in the second season of The White Lotus. That would be impossible unless they went prequel, but you can watch the full first season on HBO Max. Also, as Kimmel and his wife say while remind themselves not to be obnoxious hotel guests, “Don’t be White Lotus.” Sage advice.
As the NBA world continues to count down toward the trade deadline wondering whether the Los Angeles Lakers would hit the eject button on the Russell Westbrook experiment, Minnesota guard Patrick Beverley woke up and chose beef, taking to Twitter to hit back at Westbrook and continuing a war of words that began all the way back in 2019.
“My boy is The Real Magician this year,” Beverley said in response to Westbrook’s infamous 2019 quote about Beverley.
I remember when somebody said all I do is run around and I trick y’all well my boy is The Real Magician this year.
Westbrook’s quote, of course, was in reference to Beverley’s energy on the court, which Westbrook seems to believe ultimately results in very little defensive value.
“Pat Bev trick y’all, man, like he playing defense,” Westbrook famously said at the time. “He don’t guard nobody, man. He just running around, doing nothing.”
This year, Westbrook is averaging 18.5 points per game on 43.5 percent shooting from the field as the Lakers have limped to a sub-.500 record. There are rumors Los Angeles may pull the trigger on a deal to ship Westbrook off just a few months into his tenure.
Beverley, on the other hand, has appeared in just 36 of the Timberwolves’ 55 games as he struggles through another year of injuries. However, while his ankle may be ailing him, Beverley’s Twitter fingers were working over time on Thursday morning.
EarthBound wasn’t a huge success when the game was released to the Super Nintendo. In particular, the game did poorly in the United States because of a bad marketing campaign where they literally said “This game stinks.” It didn’t even review that well, with a common criticism being it was too behind the times. The year EarthBound came out, 1994, featured cutting edge games like Super Metroid, Final Fantasy VI, and Donkey Kong Country. In comparison, a game with pixel graphics, combat with limited animations, and a contemporary setting just didn’t compare.
EarthBound is also a timeless classic, oozes charm, and is a game that anyone who calls themself an RPG fan should at least attempt to play. While most of the criticisms levied against EarthBound at the time of its release weren’t exactly wrong, in retrospect, it feels like they were missing what the game was actually going for. As time has gone on, there’s been newfound respect for EarthBound. It ranked second on our ranking of the top-100 games on the Super Nintendo and has received a cult classic status.
Is EarthBound really that good, or is it a game that people felt was unjustly criticized and swung too far aggressively in the other direction? That debate can be had forever, and we don’t feel like contributing to it, but instead, we want to make the case for why it’s considered timeless, why you should play it, and how you can play it.
Earthbound/Nintendo
Every video game gets old and develops flaws that would be considered unforgivable by today’s standards. Cutting edge mechanics become commonplace, graphics improve, and video games continue to evolve. This doesn’t make old games bad — far from it — but they can be harder to go back to as a result. EarthBound escapes this aging process by being a game less about its mechanics and more about the experience of playing the game. It’s easier to look past its age and flaws because that’s not really what we’re here for.
Playing EarthBound is about going on an adventure as a little boy with three friends destined to save the world. Your attacks are named after your favorite thing and food. Its contemporary setting helps everything feel very grounded, with the player using weapons like baseball bats, yo-yos, and bottle rockets. Enemies include possessed cars, magical tents, and corrupt police officers. EarthBound is a game that you play because the writing is just that funny — there is a moment early in the game where someone from the future is sent back to the past to assist you along your journey, but they take the form of a buzzing bee, which happens to scare another character, so they swat this supposed hero of the future to death. A random cameraman takes pictures of you throughout your journey, seemingly out of nowhere. You are a child saving the world from an alien invasion.
The game does, of course, have flaws. The storage system is way too small. The main character will randomly get homesick during fights and not perform attacks. The story, while memorable, is not exactly a driving force for playing the game. This game is just as flawed as its contemporaries, but what’s special about EarthBound is how it overcomes those flaws through its charm.
The way the game has aged really doesn’t matter when the game is about the experience. Those graphics don’t matter when you spend the entire journey with a smile on your face. Everyone should get the opportunity to experience a game like EarthBound, and fortunately, there are many ways to do that.
On Wednesday, Nintendo had a Direct where it announced that EarthBound would be available to Nintendo Switch Online members through their collection of Super Nintendo games on the console. Anyone that doesn’t have a Switch, or a Nintendo Switch Online membership, does have other options, but they aren’t nearly as easy. They can always go find a cart of the Super Nintendo game itself, but the price and quality on the cartridges can vary. The game used to be available on the Wii U e-shop, but Nintendo has essentially discontinued the service. The only way to really play the game on the Wii U at this point would be to find a console that already has the game downloaded to it.
Billie Eilish kicked off her tour behind Happier Than Ever earlier this month, and last night, she found herself in Washington, DC. Of course, the city is our nation’s capitol, and while there, Eilish and Finneas met up with Joe Biden.
The president shared a photo of himself and the sibling pair in the White House and wrote, “When I heard my friends @billieeilish and @finneas were in town for a show, I knew I had to invite them over to the White House. Great to see you and your family — and I’m glad you got to meet Commander [the new presidential dog].”
Bloomberg White House Correspondent Justin Sink notes Eilish, Finneas, and their parents were all at the White House yesterday, and that White House Assistant Press Secretary Kevin Munoz told him the Biden family “have been long time fans of their music.”
Both Eilish and Finneas have been vocal in their support of the POTUS. Finneas frequently praises him on Twitter, and Eilish lent her time and musical talent to the 2020 Democratic National Convention, where she also said of Biden, “We need leaders who will solve problems like climate change and COVID, not deny them. Leaders who will fight against systemic racism and inequality and that starts by voting for someone who understands how much is at stake… It starts with voting against Donald Trump and for Joe Biden.”
Each week our staff of film and TV experts surveys the entertainment landscape to select the ten best new/newish movies available for you to stream at home. We put a lot of thought into our selections, and our debates on what to include and what not to include can sometimes get a little heated and feelings may get hurt, but so be it, this is an important service for you, our readers. With that said, here are our selections for this week.
Andrew Garfield is giving theater-kids everywhere a musical-thirst-trap performance in this Lin-Manuel Miranda-directed biopic that pays tribute to Jonathan Larson, the artistic genius who changed Broadway with his seminal musical Rent. This film examines Larson’s life before fans were belting out Season of Love though, with Garfield giving an award-worthy turn as a restless visionary who feels the suffocating deadline of turning 30 without having produced a great show. The supporting cast is terrific, Garfield is doing his best work, and Miranda infuses everything with a genuine sense of love and admiration that makes it hard not to root for this one. Watch it on Netflix.
Halle Berry’s MMA movie made a deal with Netflix and now Halle Berry’s MMA movie is on Netflix. Yes, that sentence said “Halle Berry’s MMA movie twice but, to be fair, it’s a phrase it takes a little bit of time to wrap your head around. Berry makes her directorial debut and stars as a disgraced fighter named Jackie Justice (Jackie Justice!) who is back in the cage to deal with various personal demons. It’s Halle Berry’s MMA movie! The reviews are pretty good! Watch it on Netflix.
As odd as it is to have a movie about two of the greatest athletes of all time told centered on, not the women winning Grand Slams and Olympic gold medals, but their determined, driven father – King Richard works. It works because Will Smith exudes charisma and charm but he also brings a believable grit and weary defiance to the role of Richard Williams, the man who gave tennis not one, but two female legends. This is Serena and Venus’ story, told from the perspective of the man who believed in them when no one else did so, yeah, grab a box of tissues before you sit down to watch. Watch it on HBO Max.
Benedict Cumberbatch gives a villainous performance for the ages in The Power of the Dog, the first film in 12 years from director Jane Campion. The western is expected (and deserves) to be an Oscars frontrunner, so hop on the horse-drawn bandwagon now. Watch it on Netflix.
Jennifer Lawrence is back in Don’t Look Up, Adam McKay’s apocalyptic satire about two low-level astronomers (J-Law and Leonardo DiCaprio) who try to warn everyone on Earth about an approaching comet — but no one seems to care. The ensemble cast also includes Meryl Streep, Jonah Hill, Ariana Grande, Timothée Chalamet, Cate Blanchett, and Tyler Perry. Maybe that’s why no one cares about the comet. They’re too busy looking at all those stars. Watch it on Netflix.
What we have here: George Clooney directing Ben Affleck in a film adaptation of a best-selling memoir about a writer who learns a number of life lessons while working as a bartender. The star power here is undeniable and makes it worth at least a snoop at some point, but it does make us wish — at least a little bit — that Clooney and Affleck had teamed up to make a movie about two handsome guys in tuxedos who team up to steal… oh, let’s say the Liberty Bell. This is probably fine, too, though. Watch it on Amazon Prime.
The gang is all back. Mostly. They’re mostly all back. Keanu is there as Neo, with the John Wick beard. Carrie Ann Moss is back as Trinity even though Trinity kind of… died. It’s a whole thing. And it’s fun. This all could have gone a lot worse, really, which isn’t exactly the highest praise but is still important. Let’s do it all again in another 20 years. Let’s make it a thing. Watch it on HBO Max.
The Tragedy of Macbeth is the first time Joel Coen has made a movie with no involvement from his brother, Ethan. But even without his sibling, this black-and-white adaptation of one of William Shakespeare’s bloodiest plays is typically excellent, with stellar performances from Denzel Washington, Frances McDormand, Corey Hawkins, Stephen Root, and Kathryn Hunter. Something wicked good this way comes… to streaming. Watch it on Apple TV+.
5. The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild (Disney Plus)
Disney
Did you know Ice Age is one of the highest-grossing movie franchises ever? According to one estimate, it’s made nearly as much money as the DC Extended Universe. Superman has nothing on Ray Romano as an extinct hairy elephant. No wonder Disney (which purchased Blue Sky Studios) wants to keep the money train rolling with The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild. The spin-off is less about the central foursome of Manny, Ellie, Sid, and Diego, and more focused on some adventurous possums and a weasel known as Buck Wild, which is a terrific name. Watch it on Disney Plus.
A man poses as a diamond mogul to lure in women online and bamboozle them out of millions of dollars, and then women get wise to the scam and try to figure out how to exact revenge. This is somehow both the best-possible description for an episode of SVU or a movie starring Charlize Theron as a vengeance-seeking assassin and the actual plot of Netflix’s latest true-crime documentary. Which will probably become an episode of SVU soon enough. It’s a whole ecosystem, really. Watch it on Netflix.
The standout cut from the Encanto soundtrack, “We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” is the latest addition to the Maddeningly Catchy Disney Song canon, along with recent inductees “Let It Go” and “You’re Welcome.” (Lin-Manuel Miranda apparently knows a thing or two about songwriting, who knew?) The rest of the movie is fun, colorful, and teaches an important lesson about family and community, and you get to hear Rosa from Brooklyn Nine-Nine belt it out. But the best reason to watch Encanto is to learn firsthand why “Bruno” is one of the most popular songs in the country right now. Should you skip Encanto? Bruno-no-no-no. Watch it on Disney Plus.
Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson star as a preposterously attractive couple who get together after her character — one half of a global sensation pop duo — discovers her lover and music partner has been stepping out. That’s right, it is rom-com time over here. Will they? Won’t they? Whose hair will look better in the pivotal scene that will probably take place in the driving rain? There’s one way to find out: Grab some popcorn and comfy pajamas and set up shop on the couch.Watch it on Peacock.
Zoe Kravitz plays a stay-at-home digital detective in this latest thriller from Steven Soderbergh who — with the help of her friendly A.I. sidekick Kimi — uncovers a string of murders she traces back to the company she works for. She then must venture out into a pandemic-ridden Seattle in search of the reason why. Honestly, we can’t relate. But, Kravitz is quickly becoming a bonafide action star and a Soderbergh script rarely disappoints. Watch it on HBO Max.

With that said, here are our selections for this week.
Jack Reacher is back once again, this time not on the page or in a feature film starring Tom Cruise (yes, it was weird that Jack Reacher, a character whose defining characteristic is his massive size, was played by… Tom Cruise), but on the small screen. Or your laptop. Or your phone. This time the role is filled by Alan Ritchson, who takes the character to hell and back trying to clear his name after a wrongful murder accusation. Does he break some limbs and smash some heads in the process? Well, let’s just say that is a pretty safe assumption. Watch it on Amazon.
W. Kamau Bell dives into the rise and steep, steep fall of Bill Cosby in this four-part docuseries. He interviews comedians and cultural figures and women who had encounters with him over the years to map out his faults and his cultural impact, in an attempt to paint a fuller picture of a man who has been at both ends of the hero-villain spectrum over the last few decades. It’s a lot. As it kind of has to be. Watch it on Showtime.
The premise is beyond silly with Will Arnett overplaying a too serious homicide detective who inexplicably keeps getting paired with random celebrities (Conan O’Brien, Marshawn Lynch) to solve murders. Oh, and the celebrities aren’t given a script, they’re just tasked with riffing off Arnett’s constant exasperation with them and everything that’s unfolding. But what seems like an odd cross between a Castle episode and a Jimmy Fallon bit magically works, finding giggles within the stock moments of a procedural thanks to guests who are incredibly game and Arnett’s dedication to the bit and to getting the most out of them. Watch it on Netflix.
If you’re fond of the brand of android-generated confusion inspired by Westworld, then you’ll want to give this Ridley Scott show a chance. Mother’s still doing everything she can to reboot humanity on an unfriendly planet, but as it turns out, her bloodletting strategy isn’t so friendly either. Don’t expect this show to make total sense, but sci-fi fans will love the questions that the show poses with sweeping, sometimes trippy visuals to go along with the intellectual ride. Watched it on HBO Max.
Back in the early 1990s, it’d be hard to envision a world where the South Park dudes would be cranking out the social satire like no one’s business for 25 seasons. Not only are they taking over Casa Bonita and inspiring an orchestra, but there’s a whole heaping helping of Paramount+ specials coming our way in addition to a full-on season of f-bombs and rightful torching of Cartman. Trey Parker and Matt Stone are still crushing the adult animation game like no other. Watch it on the South Park website.
One of The Suicide Squad‘s characters who seemed least likely (well, there actually were a lot of them, including poor Boomerang) to make it out alive has his own spinoff series. That would be John Cena’s horribly patriotic bro, and it’s still hellaciously funny that this is happening because James Gunn got bored during quarantine and decided to write this TV show. Never fear, though. He Of the Butthole Jokes is still as worthy of contempt as always. There’s no telling whether we’ll see another Squad movie, so soak up as much of this end of the DCEU while it’s hot. Watch it on HBO Max.
The bad news is that Marty Byrde and fam will only be with us for one more season. The good news is that this is a supersized season that will arrive in two halves, so let’s pretend that it’s two more seasons. Jason Bateman’s baby has been good to us all, even if it’s been bad for Marty, Wendy, and the kids, and so-so for Ruth (Julia Garner’s set to rule the world). This season, we’ll see what happened after the blood-spattered tarmac happenings in Mexico. One can bet that this new beginning won’t be any more relaxing than the Byrdes’ money-laundering U.S. life. Watch it on Netflix.
Righteous Gemstones is back, building on its God-squaded Succession vibes with more in-fighting, corruption, and largesse. Simply put, the Gemstones are in the dynasty business, looking to upsize, let loose, and steer clear of the claw of consequences that keeps grabbing at them. As hilarious as it is compelling, the show has somehow found a way to bring the thunder yet again with its stand-out cast, adding Eric Andre, Jason Schwartzman, and a spectacular Eric Roberts to the mix beside Danny McBride, John Goodman, Walton Goggins, Edi Patterson, and company. Dream Team ’92 level comedy casting, folks. Watch it on HBO.
IN West Philadelphia… things get real real quick for young Will Smith, a promising baller with a ticket to Bel Air to wait out the neighborhood rival who just might want to put him in the ground. You know the story of The Fresh Prince, a ’90s staple that launched the real Will Smith (who just got his third Oscar nomination) and the Carlton dance into pop culture. But this show promises and delivers something a little different thanks to a very talented cast and a willingness to push past nostalgia preciousness and remake this in a way that should hit. Watch it on Peacock.
Look at this. We’ve got a murder mystery from a genius (Christopher Miller of Lord and Miller) that stars all your favorite comedic scene stealers (Sam Richardson, Ben Schwartz, Tiffany Haddish, Ilana Glazer, John Early, Ike Barinholz, Dave Franco, and more) as suspects/victims/detectives, with each episode told from a different characters’ perspective in a different film style (rom-com, action, musical, psychological thriller, etc.). It is… really good. It’s really good. And really fun. You are probably going to love it. Get in there and check it out. Watch it on Apple TV Plus.
What starts as a weirdly quirky caper story mixed with the reckless abandon of Pam Anderson and Tommy Lee’s courtship soon transforms into a needed indictment on the wild west nature of the internet and the way Anderson was packaged, sold, and diminished regardless of her feelings on the matter. But with the actress not signing off on this very intimate look at a painful period of her life, is she still being turned into a product and where is the line when it comes to a public figure and events that largely happened in front our eyes… because we couldn’t help but invade her privacy in the first place? Entertaining, shocking, thought-provoking — there is more to meets the eye in this show that is about a lot more than a stolen sex tape. Watch it on Hulu.
Euphoria’s first season was a glitter bomb of teenage angst, drug-fueled spirals, and social media-splattered heartbreak. It’s been two years since Jules left Rue on that train platform and the show’s return promises some kind of resolution to their romance, the return of some familiar faces, and new additions that pressure the group to get their sh*t figured out. They won’t, of course, but the mayhem, bathroom fights, drug busts, and masterclass in acting Zendaya will surely give us will still be worth it. Watch it on HBO.
As if Julia Garner didn’t already rule the small screen in Ozark, we’re getting another heaping helping of her. This time, though, the tight corkscrew curls are hidden while Garner portrays Anna Delvey, a real-life Instagram “legend” and fake German heiress. In reality, Delvey was a master con artist who captivated New York’s social elite and ended up dragging the hell out of the American dream in the process. This Shondaland limited series follows the investigation into Anna’s misdeeds, along with how she stares down trial and keeps those lies alive, all as inspired by Jessica Pressler’s New York Magazine article that will get you primed. Watch it on Netflix.
