Great Expectations
In 2019, the BBC and FX brought us writer Stephen Knight's (Peaky Blinders) dark and dire interpretation of A Christmas Carol. If you thought Charles Dickens couldn’t get any grimmer or weirder, you were wrong. His follow up, the new FX/BBC production of Great Expectations, probably

Doctor Who
For Doctor Who’s 50th Anniversary — the first to occur since the show was rebooted in 2005 — BBC One and BBC America went all out on broadcast to celebrate. A slate of documentaries aired under The Doctor Revisited, in which adventures from the First Doctor’s “The Aztecs” to the
Marie Antoinette
Even though she was born over 250 years ago, our modern-day popular culture is still obsessed with Marie Antoinette. Last of the French queens, overthrown and ultimately beheaded by her own subjects, her story is one of almost unimaginable highs and unbelievably tragic lows. Yet, most recountings of her life
