-“The book has made me angry!” -“A rather silly plot” -“PHOBIA ALERT!!!” -“No one acts the way they should.” Judging by these reviews, “Dead Simple,” as it turns out, has been very faithfully adapted by BritBox — the online streaming service co-owned by the BBC and ITV — as an entry into its original programming roster. The plot of the BritBox version is truly insane, apparently much like the book, and it’s only thanks to the solid, empathetic performance of John Simm (“Trauma,” “Dr....

Even at the show’s outset, when Hanna (Esmé Creed-Miles) was deep into the training that swallowed her entire childhood, the goal was more than survival. Season 2 of “Hanna” was the show’s greatest magic trick, giving Hanna the high school experience she never had at the secluded facility The Meadows, even if her classmates were all elite killers-in-the-making like she was. Season 3 aims for a similar kind of subversion as Hanna and fellow rogue Marissa Wiegler (Mireille Enos) try to protect the targets on a secret list of potential subversives....

How much might it have earned without HBO Max availability? “The Little Things” stars Denzel Washington, but it received mediocre to poor reviews as well as a B- Cinemascore — the lowest he’s seen in a decade. It feels like a stretch to believe that in a theater-exclusive release it would have grossed above $10 million, and perhaps no more than $16 million if all theaters were open. “The Little Things” was a smart bet for theaters under the current circumstances....

Friday saw the premiere of the documentary “In Her Hands,” a portrait of former Afghan female mayor Zarifa Ghafari, which the company produced with Netflix. The movie, co-directed by Afghan filmmaker Tamana Ayazi and Oscar nominee Marcel Mettelsiefen (“Watani: My Homeland”) screened the same day as the release of the unscripted AppleTV+ miniseries “Gutsy,” which features the two Clintons in conversation with other famous women. The connection between those two projects hints at the overall focus of BrightLights as its executives make the rounds at TIFF....

As the mass vaccination campaign ramps up across the U.S., sports arenas and other large venues have become choice spots to get as many people vaccinated as possible. In Southern California, that includes Dodger Stadium and Disneyland. Biden, in his first day in office last week, announced a draft plan that would see FEMA operate up to 100 vaccination sites across the country, getting the federal government more involved in distribution than under President Donald Trump....
