To start, there were the undeniable musical charms of “Central Park,” “The Eddy,” and “P-Valley,” all of which drew heavily on original songs to help tether their stories to a distinct time and place. Phillip Glass (“Tales from the Loop,” along with Paul Leonard-Morgan), Harold Budd (“I Know This Much is True”), Alan Silvestri (“Cosmos: Possible Worlds”) and Atticus Ross (“Dispatches from Elsewhere,” along with Leopold Ross and Claudia Sarne) all added to their robust, ever-growing bodies of work....

As the trailer shows, the same New York-based female skateboarders are back with a desire to make a new video showing off their skills. Unfortunately for them, they’ve just lost the lease to their building. Each of the girls is going through struggles with regards to finding love or a job, and through it all the bigger examination is: When is skateboarding just enough? The same cast from Season 1, as well as “Skate Kitchen,” have returned, most of whom had not acted before, including Kabrina Adams, Dede Lovelace, Nina Moran, Rachelle Vinberg, and Ajani Russell....

The author told The New Yorker how it took decades for Andrew Dominik to adapt her 2000 novel inspired by the life of Marilyn Monroe in part due to actresses like Naomi Watts “aging out” of the role, as well as the “brutal” assaults conveyed. “Blonde” stars Ana de Armas as Monroe and is currently in theaters before premiering on Netflix September 28. “Because of the MeToo movement, there’s much more latitude in listening to or paying respect to women who have been victimized,” Oates said of the subject matter today....

“Still mystified that apparently Dave Chapelle’s deal is that he says whatever he wants and Netflix just has to air it, unedited. Is that normal, for comedians?” Bob-Waksberg asked on Twitter. “Because Netflix once asked me to change a joke because they were worried it might upset David Fincher.” “Just looked up the cut Fincher joke because I actually couldn’t remember it,” Bob-Waksberg continued. “Turns out it was a whole scene!...

Lead star Timothée Chalamet left a Twitter trail of breadcrumbs on Wednesday for the cannibal romance film ahead of a first look at the feature, revealed below. The Oscar-nominated actor tweeted a series of cryptic messages including the captions “boner bone” and “soft bones” pointing to new details about the upcoming drama directed by Luca Guadagnino. (The director also turns 51 today.) The Italian filmmaker reunites with Chalamet following the Academy Award-winning “Call Me By Your Name....

And, really, that’s the point of “Children of the Underground.” Too often the abused, mainly women, are disbelieved in favor of someone who looks more “rational” and “stable” to those in power. Mainly men. Cowperthwaite takes the same blunt approach that she did in exposing the mistreatment of Orca whales in her 2013 documentary “Blackfish” and applies it to this four-episode series recounting the exploits of Faye Yager and her organization Children of the Underground....

Stabler’s homecoming was started off with his return to “SVU.” In the wake of an attack on his wife, Stabler convinces Benson to let him interrogate a possible suspect. Despite Benson’s misgivings — she knows he isn’t exactly the coolest cucumber — she allows him a brief moment with the suspect. Stabler holds it together until the suspect critiques his wife’s condition and Old Stabler returns, moving to attack the guy until Benson holds him off....
