Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere
Bruce Springsteen's journey crafting his 1982 album Nebraska, which emerged as he recorded Born in the USA with the E Street Band. Based on Warren Zanes' book. Jeremy Allen White is excellent in this film and brings out the best in his character. The film doesn't tell the same story as other films that focus on the artist's prime or breakthrough, but it captures the essence of Springsteen's transformation. That's what makes this film different and it does so well. It doesn't so much tell the story of the Nebraska album as it uses the songs from the album to represent who Bruce is. This is one of the best films of the year and White may be in line for an Academy Award.

Dark Winds (AMC)
Follows Leaphorn and Chee, two Navajo police officers in the 1970s Southwest that are forced to challenge their own spiritual beliefs when they search for clues in a double murder case. The show doesn't pull any punches when it comes to showing the overt and systematic racism faced by Native Americans in the 1970's (not to suggest it's strictly a thing of the past), but so far it's not falling into the trap of portraying the native people as 'noble savages,' either. Well written, well acted and well paced.

Vicious (Paramount+)
A woman (Dakota Fanning) spends the night fighting for her existence as she slips down a rabbit hole contained inside a gift from a late night visitor. This is an entreating and creepy entry in the psychological thriller genre. Anyone who watches this type of movie understands that not all questions will be answered. It ihas plenty of jump scares and build up to each event. It's an effective, psychological film, but above all, it keeps you glued to the screen.
