Aaron Hernandez: American Sports Story (Hulu)
Aaron Hernandez is the first subject of the new Ryan Murphy-led anthology series "American Sports Story." If the show is like any of Murphy's oeuvre, it'll likely explore topics like American culture, the media, and race through the lens of one significant person. In this instance, the lens is Hernandez, an athlete who played for the New England Patriots and fell from glory after he was arrested and convicted for the murder of Odin Lloyd.
Grotesquerie (Hulu)
It's been a busy couple of weeks for Ryan Murphy, one of the busiest writers, directors, and producers making television. "Grotesquerie" is his new project, reuniting him with his horror roots and his love of the profane by trailing various crimes that have rocked a small community.
Paddington 2 (Prime Video)
If you're looking to decompress and shed a tear or two, "Paddington 2" is streaming on Prime Video.
Crimson Peak (Prime Video)
Lastly, one of Guillermo Del Toro's most unsung yet distinct films is now streaming on Prime Video. "Crimson Peak" is many things at once -- it's an example of the gothic, a romance, and a horror, with Del Toro firing on all cylinders with stunning visuals and an unforgettable cast.
