Reservation Dogs [tv series]

A personal favorite. How are more people not talking about this? Sensitive, well-written, and dryly absurd magical realist character study of the lives of a couple of kids and the people they know on an Oklahoma Indian reservation. Ordinary and extremely believable comings and goings of life on the rez are interspersed with visits from the cloven-hoofed Deer Lady or visions of awkwardly stereotypical Hollywood Indian spirit guides giving advice between war whoops. I love, love, love this show.

Singularity

One of those pictures that keeps latter-day John Cusack working. A post-AI-apocalype adventure aimed at the pre-Hunger Games set, as well as probably a paltry stab at a franchise or TV pilor, featuring a gorgeous heroine and a robot who thinks he's human trying to reach a promised human utopia. Good special effects but that's about it. So, a computer thought wiping out humanity was the solution to the worlds problems? Revolutionary! How in the world did they come up with that?
