Like a Non-Disclosure Agreement on steroids, the shadowy company at the center of the sci-fi series “Severance” (Apple TV+, streaming) erases all memories of the workplace when employees go home — and all memories of home while at work. The ever affable Adam Scott stars; Patricia Arquette is his chilly boss. John Turturro and Christopher Walken also pop up in the stylish looking nine-part drama produced and largely directed by Ben Stiller.
Jeffrey Wright narrates another new look at the 16th president in the four-part “Lincoln’s Dilemma” (Apple TV+, streaming), based on David S. Reynolds’ book “Abe: Abraham Lincoln in His Times.” Besides expert commentary, it’s heavy on actual speeches of the day, illustrated by archival photographs and illustrations that are also sepia-toned.
A three-part documentary series, “Uprooted” (Discovery+, streaming) looks at the unsolved 1968 hanging death of a Black teen in Silver Spring, Md.
The missteps of the airline manufacturer are enumerated in the new documentary “Downfall: The Case Against Boeing” (Netflix, streaming).
A fourth season comes for the Emmy-winning audience pleaser “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” (Amazon Prime, streaming) which finds the struggling comic kicked off a major tour and back in Queens. The rapid-fire madcap dialog is still maddening, but there are its pleasures from the sets to Tony Shalhoub. It’s being rolled out differently with two episodes a week, instead of being able to stream the whole season at once.
The underrated comedy “Space Force” (Netflix, streaming) is back with a new season, with Steve Carrell, John Malkovich and Ben Schwartz.
