Doom Patrol: The Complete Fourth Season More Info  Borrow
From Warner Bros..

Inside Man: Year One More Info  Borrow
From Allied Vaughn.
 
Jefferson Grieff is on Death Row in an American prison for brutally murdering his wife. But it turns out that Grieff has a gift: he can solve crimes from inside his cell, and that is exactly why English journalist Beth Davenport needs his help. A woman who recently helped Beth has gone missing, with the only clue being a text with a blurry image of a man lunging towards the camera. Will Grieff crack the case in time? And is it really possible to solve a crime before it has been committed?
American Experience: Fly with Me More Info  Borrow
From PBS (Direct).
 
Fly With Me tells the story of the pioneering young women who became flight attendants at a time when single women were unable to order a drink, eat alone in a restaurant, own a credit card or get a prescription for birth control. Becoming a "stewardess," as they were called, offered unheard-of opportunities for travel, glamour, adventure and independence. Although often maligned as feminist sellouts, these women were on the frontlines of the battle to assert gender equality and transform the workplace.
Finestkind More Info  Borrow
From PARAMOUNT.
 
Set in New Bedford, Mass., America’s biggest commercial fishing port, FINESTKIND tells the story of two brothers (Ben Foster, Toby Wallace) from opposite sides of the tracks, who are reunited as adults over one fateful summer. When desperate circumstances force them to strike a deal with a dangerous Boston crime syndicate, a young woman (Jenna Ortega) finds herself caught in the middle. Along the way, sacrifices must be made, and bonds between brothers, friends, and a father (Tommy Lee Jones) and his son are put to the test.
Nolly More Info  Borrow
From PBS.
 
Nolly reveals the story of Noele "Nolly" Gordon, one of the most famous faces on British TV in the 1960s and 70s, whose unceremonious firing from her hit show at the height of her career was front-page news. A bold exploration of how the establishment turns on women who refuse to play by the rules, Nolly is an enjoyable and wildly entertaining ride through Gordon's most tumultuous years, and a sharp, affectionate, and heart-breaking portrait of a forgotten icon.
Funny Woman More Info  Borrow
From PBS (Direct).
 
It's the height of the swinging 60s and Barbara Parker has just been crowned Miss Blackpool but there's got to be more to life than being a beauty queen in a seaside town, right? She wants to be someone. The bright lights of London are calling, and our determined hero sets off to find out who that someone is. The London she encounters is not as quite as swinging as the one she'd read about and seen on TV. However, after a series of setbacks, Barbara finds herself in unfamiliar territory--an audition for a TV comedy show.
Heroes of the Golden Mask More Info  Borrow

 
Charlie, a wise-cracking, homeless, American orphan is magically transported to the ancient Chinese kingdom of Sanxingdui, where a colorful team of superheroes need his help to defend the city from a brutal conqueror.
Animal Liberation Now More Info  Borrow
By Peter Singer. From Bodley Head.
(93 reviews)  
 
The landmark book that opened the world's eyes to the suffering inflicted by humans on other animals, now fully rewritten and entirely updated to reflect the pressing problems of today.

Animal Liberation started a worldwide movement when it revealed the abuse of animals in factory farms and laboratories. It demonstrated that these and other practices were the cause of appalling and unnecessary suffering and therefore morally indefensible. In the fifty years since, science has further vindicated Peter Singer's arguments about animal sentience, vegetarianism has become widespread, and the book has helped change the minds of millions.
