Elsewhere in the British Vogue cover story, Newton reflected on the Australian director John Duigan making her darken her skin while she was auditioning for her debut role in “Flirting” opposite Nicole Kidman. Newton remembered Duigan asking her, “Can you be a bit darker? Be darker by Monday,” and thus she “spent the weekend covered in coconut oil and frantically bronzing.” “Got the role,” Newton said. “Colorism has just been the funniest....

Karen is lying flat in the front hallway from a shotgun blast to the chest, while her son Billy is dead in his room around the corner (Karen’s baby girl was mercifully spared). Luke Hadler’s corpse is found a ways down the road, and everyone assumes that he killed his wife and kids before offing himself. A lot of folks in Kiewarra still think Luke was responsible for the Deacon girl’s drowning 20 years ago, and that it was only a matter of time before he got violent again....

Emmy-winning HBO Max Original series “The Flight Attendant” returns for Season 2 on Thursday, April 21, and this time, Cassie has more than a few voices of reason in her head. After becoming sober and moving in with her new boyfriend in Los Angeles, Cassie promises that her “life is pretty great” despite the tense events of the first season (you know, almost dying while uncovering an international corporate conspiracy…the usual)....

An engaging premise can go a long way. The nautical jaunt on “The Heiress” is the first adventure in “The Mandalorian” Season 2 that offers compelling stakes for the show’s key players and the set piece heavy action makes for the season’s best episode yet by a considerable margin.

After six weeks filled with denials, fresh accusations, and alternate theories, “The Undoing” finally answered its central question: Who killed Elena Alves? Well, it turns out the answer was hiding in plain sight, behind the endearing veil of an extremely charming Hugh Grant. Dr. Jonathan Fraser, the prime suspect all along, was officially confirmed as the killer in Episode 6, ending a lengthy guessing game that spurred intense reactions on social media — in addition to high ratings for HBO....

Due in theaters September 16, actress Maria Bello’s first screenwriting credit tells the action-packed saga of the Agojie: an all-female unit of warriors who protected the West African kingdom of Dahomey in the 19th century. “People need to see women warriors,” Davis told IndieWire at the premiere. “In this day and age, in this culture where women are under attack, where our choices, our bodies, everything that we are: We are second-class citizens....

It’s a problem that “This Is Pop” manages to avoid. The eight-part series, newly available on Netflix after airing on CTV in Canada earlier this spring, keeps a tempo worthy of its wide array of subjects. Ranging from bubblegum pop of the ’60s to the British radio output of the mid-‘90s to the current and eternal existential debates about the nature of country music, “This Is Pop” keeps moving itself along....
