February Picks: The Movies and TV You Can't Miss21 of 35
"The Luminaries" | Series Premieres Sunday, Feb. 14 on STARZ
Plot: Defiant adventurer Anna Wetherell has sailed from Britain to New Zealand to begin a new life. There she meets Emery Staines, an encounter that triggers a strange kind of magic that neither can explain.
Our Take: Please please please let this mystical adventure series from New Zealand be weird and magical, because even though Eva Green is in a supporting role, all it took for me to be sold on the show is the thought of watching the former Vanessa Ives play a woman who runs a "fortune parlour" and is scripted as the personification of desire. — Arno
