"Never Have I Ever," "You," "Ginny & Georgia," "Insecure," "Ted Lasso," "Sex Education" - streamers have created an ongoing watchlist of shows normalizing conversations around mental health and therapy onscreen. In "Ted Lasso," an entire men's soccer team is introduced to the benefits of psychotherapy, also known as talk therapy, thanks to a sports psychologist named Dr. Sharon (Sarah Niles). In "Insecure," we see Molly (Yvonne Orji) confront questions of ambition with the help of a Black woman therapist - played by Denise Yvonne Dowse - who helps her re-examine her desires. And in "Tiny Beautiful Things," starring Kathryn Hahn, we learn that therapists aren't just people who help us through our struggles; their lives are equally complex on the other side of the notepad.

It would be naive to think the production shutdowns persisting across Hollywood wouldn’t also affect the output of independent artists, and the 2021 Sundance lineup has borne that unfortunate reality out. This year’s virtual event remains an ambitious undertaking — one more in line with the festival’s adventurous, experimental roots than its current trend-setting, Oscar-baiting footprint — but there are fewer films, and yes, fewer series, too. In its fourth year featuring a section dedicated to serialized stories and indie TV pilots, Sundance 2021 has just four shows in its newly titled Indie Series lineup: “4 Feet High,” “Seeds of Deceit,” “These Days,” and “Would You Rather.” That’s exactly half the total in last year’s Indie Episodic program and in line with the 40 percent drop in overall festival offerings.

Other TV-friendly options are scattered throughout the festival’s 11 categories, including “Philly D.A.,” a docuseries on civil rights attorney Larry Krasner...

Named after one of Jackson’s signature songs, Remember Me, the film, set during the tumultuous period between 1956 and 1963, will chronicle the successful career of Jackson as well as her unique friendship and devotion to Martin Luther King Jr. and her unsung contribution to the Civil Rights Movement.

Hey, "The Resident" fans. Unfortunately, we have some very bad news for you guys tonight. It turns out that the 5th episode of your favorite show has indeed been delayed this week. In fact, the whole, usual primetime line up for Fox has been delayed. We'll get into the reason why in a second.

The hardest part of being a 911 operator, one dispatcher tells us, is that “You don’t know how it ends”. That sense of helplessness is effectively extracted in The Call, the latest thriller from well-versed director Brad Anderson. However, not knowing how this one ends may be preferable to watching it fall apart in its final minutes.

Halle Berry plays Jordan, a veteran 911 operator who is left traumatised after her actions inadvertently lead to the abduction and death of a young girl. Months after her ordeal, Jordan is now teaching new operators as opposed to being on the frontline. However, on a routine demonstration she finds herself picking up a call from distressed teenager Casey (Abigail Breslin) who has been kidnapped and is trapped in the boot of a serial killer’s car.

On the face of it the plot holds little appeal, but The Call quickly grabs the viewer...

The Call starts off with great potential, but the tension is wasted as the film loses its focus towards the end. Instead of an ending filled with suspense, the film drifts into an ending so absurd and unbelievable it feels like it belongs in a bad comedy. Directed by Brad Anderson (2004.s incredible The Machinist) from a screenplay by Richard D'Ovidio (who wrote the story with Nicole D'Ovidio and Jon Bokenkamp), The Call stars Halle Berry, Abigail Breslin, Morris Chestnut, Michael Eklund, David Otunga, Michael Imperioli (who is completely wasted in the film), Justina Machado, José Zúñiga, Roma Maffia, Evie Thompson, and Denise Dowse. The film opens with veteran Lapd 9-1-1 operator Jordan Turner (Berry) taking a variety of...
