The Crowded Room
Inspired by the book The Minds of Billy Milligan, a haunting psychological mystery stars Tom Holland of Spider-Man fame as Danny Sullivan, a troubled youth whose involvement in a 1979 shooting incident in midtown Manhattan piques the interest of professor Rya Goodwin (Amanda Seyfried), who intends to unravel the secrets within Danny’s cluttered mind. The leads are excellent, although the series suffers by keeping its Big Reveal from being directly addressed for half of its 10-episode length. Once all the cards are on the table, The Crowded Room becomes a gripping account of a struggle for Danny’s soul and a taut courtroom drama. Launches with three episodes. (See the full review.)
Tribunal Justice
“If dishonesty caused emotional distress, the three of us would all be in heavy therapy up here,” quips outspoken Judge Patricia DiMango, one of three litigators presiding over cases in this offshoot of Judy Justice. DiMango is joined by Judy Sheindlin’s son Adam Levy, a former D.A. in Putnam County, and Tanya Acker, a former L.A. Judge Pro Tem. After each hearing, the judges debate the case before declaring a verdict. Keeping order in the court as bailiffs: former Judge Judy staple Petri Hawkins Byrd and Cassandra Britt.
Renfield
The Great’s Nicholas Hoult stars as the Prince of Darkness’s most unhappily loyal servant, with Nicolas Cage merrily fanging the scenery as Dracula, in a horror comedy that makes its way to streaming just two months after its theatrical opening. Among the recognizable comic talent in the supporting cast: Awkwafina as a New Orleans cop who sees the good in Renfield and Ghosts’ Brandon Scott Jones as the leader of a 12-step support group where the beleaguered hero hopes to cure his co-dependency with the iconic vampire.
