Alison Herman TV Critic Since his “retirement” from filmmaking in 2013, director Steven Soderbergh has never fully backed away from the world of features: He has eight movies to his name in the past decade — more than some of his peers have produced in their entire careers. But Soderbergh did subsequently branch out into the world of TV, a medium he’s approached with the same enterprising, experimental spirit as he does his latter-period films. First came 2014’s “The Knick,” the Cinemax period medical drama helmed entirely by Soderbergh at a time when marquee directors were just starting to dabble in TV; then “Mosaic,” a project released in 2017 as both an interactive app and an HBO series, showing the same interest in new technology that’s led Soderbergh to shoot multiple movies on an iPhone.
“Mosaic” was a collaboration with screenwriter Ed Solomon (“Men in Black,” “Now You See Me”), who also penned Soderbergh’s 1950s noir “No Sudden Move.” The new Max miniseries “Full Circle” rounds out the Soderbergh-Solomon partnership into a trifecta of stripped-down, workmanlike crime yarns. “Full Circle” is the story of a sensational New York case that reveals the city’s connections across race and class, a synopsis that instantly groups it with narratives like “Bonfire of the Vanities,” “Lush Life” and “City on Fire,” the sprawling epic adapted for Apple TV+ this spring. To this familiar scaffolding, “Full Circle” grafts a starry ensemble cast and effectively tense set-pieces, occasionally elevating though never fully transcending its faithful take on the genre. The immediate hook of “Full Circle” is in seeing how its disparate threads will eventually weave into the title’s closed loop. A Guyanese crime syndicate based in

With “Command Z” and “Full Circle” out now, Steven Soderbergh continues build the legend that he’s the busiest filmmaker in show business. Why so busy? Part of the reason is because Soderbergh shoots his own films.

Just as the global pandemic seemed to profoundly accelerate the demise of movies and theatergoing—something we all cynically assumed would happen, but hell, not that fast! Not so soon! culturally, our internal clocks all have an impending sense of doom that seems to be ticking faster than ever. Climate change is something we presume will destroy our lives eventually, but globally, it’s been unnerving to watch raging forest fires in Australia that appear apocalyptic, or more recently, if you’re a New Yorker, experience firsthand alarming smoke and air quality pollution that looks like it’s been shot by Roger Deakins on the set of “Blade Runner 2049.” Intentional timed or not, this is where Steven Soderbergh and writer Kurt Anderson are coming from with their surprise new sci-fi-ish satirical series, “Command Z” (the Apple key command for “undo,” and specifically the computer power to negate a mistake; the serious was not officially announced until three days prior to release, and not for nothing, we were the only ones that reported about it months ago in advance).

Spice Girls fans were in a frenzy last week when it was reported that, not only were the band reuniting for 2024's Glastonbury Festival, but the other members of the group had managed to lure back Victoria Beckham to perform for the first time in 15 years. However, just hours later, sources close to the designer shot down the claims, saying the 49-year-old wanted to concentrate on her fashion label and had no plans to step into her old role of Posh Spice.The source said, “She has sadly been hugely ridiculed when she has sung in the past.
Alison Herman TV Critic For “Minx,” the show, it’s been a rocky path. Despite strong reviews, good word of mouth and even a swift Season 2 renewal for the period porn comedy, the show became a casualty of upheaval at its parent company. Scrambling to pay down debt from the merger of WarnerMedia and Discovery, Inc., CEO David Zaslav took a series of drastic steps that alienated creatives and consumers alike. Entire back catalogs disappeared from streaming services; “Batgirl,” a big-name superhero project, was scrapped for a tax break despite completing production; and “Minx” had its renewal rolled back while still shooting Season 2. But for Minx, the fictional magazine within the show, things are looking up. We know this because, this week, the show makes a miraculous return on Starz, a network that’s capitalized on its competitors’ hot-and-cold decision making by picking up both “Minx” and “Three Women,” the limited series nixed by Showtime before it even premiered. The new episodes, all eight of which were shared with critics in advance, resolve some of the cliffhangers that could’ve left fans wanting if “Minx” were truly cut short: what editor Joyce Prigger (Ophelia Lovibond) will do with ownership of her ascendant publication, or whether Tina (Idara Victor) will choose business school over sleaze kingpin Doug Renetti (Jake Johnson), her boss-turned-boyfriend. Before long, however, the season starts to feel like wish fulfillment — a turn that sometimes saps the show of conflict, but also hits especially hard given how close “Minx” came to the brink. If our time with these characters is precious, why not see them happy?
