A new TV adaptation of “The Right Stuff” is set to premiere on Disney+ this Friday, Oct. 9, with two episodes. The drama series is based on Tom Wolfe‘s 1979 bestseller about the Mercury Seven astronauts, who were hailed as heroes for being pioneers in space travel. The first season of “The Right Stuff” will run for eight episodes and takes place in 1958 at the height of the Cold War. Each season will focus on a new mission that eventually culminated with the historic moon landing.
Wolfe’s carefully researched book won the National Book Award for Nonfiction while the 1983 film version, directed by Philip Kaufman, earned eight Oscar nominations including a Best Picture bid. It won four Academy Awards for film editing, score, sound and sound effects editing.

A recommendation from horror master Stephen King goes a long way. One of the things I like most about him is his willingness to champion movies and TV shows regardless of what the critical consensus about them is. I was particularly pleased when he named the Child’s Play remake as one of his favorite horror titles of 2019, thus giving it a well-deserved boost in popularity.
Now, he’s named an extremely obscure British show that’s over a decade old as his pick of the summer. Here’s what he tweeted:
“The show I’ve had the most pure fun with this summer is Paradox (Hulu). Maybe a plot hole here and there, but the central situation is intriguing, the pace is relentless, and the cast is winning.”
You’d be forgiven for not having heard of Paradox, a five-part miniseries that aired in 2009 on BBC One in the United Kingdom.

This Snowpiercer review contains spoilers.
Snowpiercer Episode 3
One of the smartest things Snowpiercer has done with its first season is, as characters gain prominence in the story, offer up some cold openings. In this case, Dr. Klimpt (Happy Anderson) is the one discussing how the economy of Snowpiercer functions. Not the buy-ins of the first class passengers, but the real economy that shuttles drugs from third class to first class and back again, trading drugs for gold for sex for the most important thing of all, access.
All things that people kill, and have been killed for, on a train that’s 1,001 cars long. It’s exposition, and it’s needed exposition for the world the show is building, but by and large it’s been done stylishly and provides a bit of insight into the character giving the explanation that is necessary to flesh out secondary characters like the good doctor.

Gibson Station (scripted)
From producer/writer/director Edward Burns, this dramedy set in 1984 revolves around three 20-something best friends setting out to pursue their dreams and seek out their place in Ronald Reagan’s America.
A Column Of Fire (scripted)
Based on the novel by international best-selling author Ken Follett, this Elizabethan-era drama, which debuted at #1 in multiple countries around the world, follows the romance between Ned Willard and Margery Fitzgerald beginning in 1558 and spanning half a century of political intrigue and turmoil.

The cult leader, a man named Carl Drew, was captured and sent to prison for life without parole. Twenty years after the trial, the lead investigator became so haunted by inconsistencies in the stories that he re-investigated his own case after he retired. Evidence surfaced bringing the entire story into question.

Songs That Changed The World (docuseries)
Directed by Emmy Award winner Thom Zimny and executive produced by acclaimed singer-songwriter Jackson Browne, this four-part doc series looks into those transcendent moments when music was able to do what no other social force could: speak to our minds, hearts and souls and lead us to higher ground…and in so doing transform us…whether we knew we needed to or not. In addition to Zimny and Browne, Armyan Bernstein (for Beacon Pictures) will executive produce.

This review contains spoilers.
2.12 Betrayal
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person online who writes about The Following and who also enjoys the show in a legitimate, non-ironic way. There are plenty of folks who love a good hate-watch, myself included, but when it comes to this particular show, as dumb and nihilistic as it can be, I still find a lot to be entertained by when I watch it. Perhaps it's my ear for awesomely campy dialogue. Perhaps it's the dulcet tones of James Purefoy's voice. Perhaps it's all the stabbing. Either way, I seem to be a lone voice shrieking out praise for The Following like a true Carroller, and I'm strangely okay with that.
Part of the attraction is the show's impressive ability to entertain visually.

Her “brilliant” plan is that they can do it together. “I am the last thing he will see coming - we can surprise him!”
Pastor Tanner is doing an interview with Carrie, and Joe watches it, growing obsessively enraged. He rails against the hypocrisy of religion. When asked point-blank by Emma, Joe tells her, “No, I don’t believe in any god. I made that mistake once before, and I won’t do it again. Religion is only good for one thing: power.”

When The Following is good, it’s really good. At the beginning of its second season, it seemed like the show had finally found its footing. It had accepted the fact that it was kind of insane and unrealistic and had resigned itself to the fact that it could just be really dark, devilish, guilty pleasure fun. And then it happened; it slipped right back to season 1. The reveal that Claire (Natalie Zea) was still alive seemed like a false note and frankly, there hasn’t been enough Joe (James Purefoy) to hold the show together. The show’s other most compelling characters, like Mike (Shawn Ashmore) and Emma (Valorie Curry), just don’t have a lot to do. New characters like twins Luke and Mark (Sam Underwood) always impress...

Max is still following Giselle as she gets off the subway - despite Ryan insisting he wait for her. She makes a call to Luke and has him meet her at “the factory.” Ryan catches up with Max and corners Giselle with a gun on a dark, empty street. “Shoot me - what do I have to lose?” she charges him. He doesn’t shoot, and Giselle turns around - right into Max’s fist. They take her to a motel and cuff her to the bed. It seems like Ryan interrogates her for hours. He tries to make a deal: Giselle can go free, Lily and the twins and everyone else can go free. He just wants to kill Joe Carroll. Giselle’s only response is to spit in Ryan’s face.

If You could see the future, would you change it?
That's the dilemma facing Detective Inspector Rebecca Flint (Tamzin Outhwaite) and astrophysicist Dr Christian King (Emun Elliott).
They team up in the new BBC series Paradox when a series of rogue images are transmitted into King's laboratory from space.
The fragmented images appear to be of a major incident, but suggest it has yet to happen: it's in the future.
Christian, Rebecca and her team, Detective Sergeant Ben Holt (Mark Bonnar) and Detective Constable Callum Gada (Chiké Okonkwo), have just 18 hours to work out the clues and prevent a tragedy.
Paradox, a series of five episodes by Lizzie Mickery, is billed as "an intriguing, high-concept, high-octane, investigative drama, in which the team must not only prevent complex crimes and incidents, but wrestle with the moral and emotional implications of changing the future."
The series is coming this autumn. A transmission...
