Boston Strangler (Hulu, Disney+)
This new movie is based on a true story, and stars Keira Knightley as Loretta McLaughlin, a reporter for the Boston Record-American newspaper and the first journalist to connect the Boston Strangler murders.
From Hulu: “As the mysterious killer claims more and more victims, Loretta attempts to continue her investigation alongside colleague and confidante Jean Cole (Carrie Coon), yet the duo finds themselves stymied by the rampant sexism of the era. Nevertheless, McLaughlin and Cole bravely pursue the story at great personal risk, putting their own lives on the line in their quest to uncover the truth.”
The cast also includes Oscar-winner Chris Cooper.
Ted Lasso (Apple TV+)
The third (and reportedly final) season of this much loved series, starring Jason Sudeikis, landed on Wednesday, we get new episodes each Wednesday.
