Season 2 of the BAFTA award-winning dark comedy “Bad Sisters” is now available. Two years after the “accidental death” of Grace's abusive husband, the tight-knit Garvey sisters have moved on, but trouble continues. Old secrets resurface and the girls are once again under scrutiny. With suspicion at its height, the sisters are forced to unite once more and find out who they can truly trust. The first season received an unprecedented 100% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes for its stellar cast, relatable characters, and striking gallows humor. Fans are eagerly awaiting Season 2 to see what shenanigans the Garvey clan will unleash.

“Silo” is one of the best shows available on Apple TV Plus, along with “Severance” and “For All Mankind.” For those who don't know, the show follows the plight of the last 10,000 people left on Earth, holed up in the mysterious, labyrinthine underground complex that gave the series its name. No one knows when or why the silos were built, and anyone who dares to ask questions risks banishment to the toxic and uninhabitable outside world, a veritable death sentence. In Season 1, Silo's new sheriff, Juliette (Rebecca Ferguson), unraveled some of the mysteries, but the next episode will shed light on the mysteries of the outer world and how the last bastion of humanity, the Hellmouth, was created in the first place.

If you're in the mood for a war drama, Steve McQueen's “Blitz” is a heart-wrenching portrait of the crisis Londoners survived during the German blitzkrieg during World War II. Saoirse Ronan stars as Rita Hanway, a London factory worker who, like many parents at the time, is shaken by the decision to send her 9-year-old son George (Elliot Heffernan) to the safety of the English countryside. Bitter about the upheaval and determined to return to his mother and grandfather (Paul Weller), George rushes back to East London at the first opportunity. Along the way, he stumbles from one nightmare to the next as his distraught mother seeks him out and finds a new sense of community back home.

Produced by Jennifer Lawrence and Malala Yousafzai, “Bread & Roses” sheds light on the plight of Afghan women in the wake of the 2021 U.S. withdrawal and the fall of Kabul by the Taliban. The film follows three courageous Afghan women in real time as they fight to regain the autonomy they have gained in recent decades. In his vivid portrayal of their dire plight and their struggle to escape the suffocating new normal, Mani captures the spirit and resilience of Afghan women.
