On Friday, October 21st, 2022, Netflix released their newest paranormal reality series, 28 Days Haunted. Based on a theory by the late Ed and Lorraine Warren that it takes about 28 days to pierce the veil into the other side, three teams take residence in three different haunted locations for that duration.

Similar thing happened with Brandy Miller and Jereme Leonard, the team investigating the Madison Dry Goods store in North Carolina. Jereme is a demonologist and Brandy was the one with abilities. She had her limitations and what she was comfortable with as well, and Jereme tried to push her further. Then it ended up being Jereme who got the brunt of the negative energy from the spirits.

After all of these criticisms I mentioned, it may be surprising to hear me say that I liked the show. Ultimately, I had several favorite moments in the show. These are the moments that I think made the show stronger than the mainstream shows on the other networks and it gives me some hope that something different may be coming down the pipeline in mainstream TV.

One of which was Amy calling out the culture of toxic masculinity in the paranormal when Shane and Ray were trying to get her to do mirror scrying. Amy did not hold back and I actually applauded after she finished.

Finally, I want to applaud the cast for their work on the show. It must have been really difficult to separate yourself from your families, your job, and even social media for 28 days to film the show. Also, putting yourself out there in front of millions of people to get judged and criticized is not easy. You took a risk by being a part of this show, and I do think you did something great here. This show is a game-changer in the genre of paranormal reality entertainment. It laid a foundation that will hopefully continue to encourage a different approach to this stagnant genre.

Not only is the NFL playing on a Wednesday for only the third time since 1950, it brought on Netflix to carry the games. Netflix will stream two Christmas Day games globally as part of a three-year deal announced Wednesday as the league unveiled the regular-season schedule.

This marks the fifth straight year of NFL games on Christmas, and they're likely to remain on the schedule for a while. With Christmas falling on a Thursday in 2025, Netflix and Amazon will have one game apiece. There are expected to be at least two Christmas games in 2026, which is a Friday.

With the league continuing to make international inroads, including five games abroad this season, the prospect of partnering with Netflix was too good to pass up. Netflix has 270 million paid memberships in over 190 countries.

Hans Schroeder, the executive vice president of NFL Media, said team owners meeting in March were presented with a plan where teams playing on Christmas Day would have their Week 16 games on Saturday, which would give them the same amount of prep time they normally have in a short week when playing on Sunday and Thursday.

The last time the league played on a Wednesday was Dec. 2, 2020, when the Baltimore Ravens' game at the Pittsburgh Steelers was pushed back six days due to COVID-19. The Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants opened the 2012 season on a Wednesday due to President Barack Obama's acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention taking place on a Thursday.

Netflix began airing NFL programming last year with the series Quarterback." A series on wide receivers will premiere this year. It also live streamed the Tom Brady roast on May 5 and will have a 10-part documentary series later this year on Jerry Jones and his ownership of the Dallas Cowboys.

The Jan. 13 AFC wild-card playoff game between the Miami Dolphins and Kansas City Chiefs on Peacock averaged 23 million, a record for the most-watched event on a streaming service. It also surpassed the audiences for the Saturday night wild-card playoff games that were shown on NBC in two of the past three years.

In keeping with the NFL's longstanding policy on games that are carried on cable or streaming platforms, Netflix's Christmas games will air on broadcast TV in the competing teams' home cities and will be available on mobile devices in the U.S. with NFL+.

Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to feel sympathy for a super wealthy, beautiful, straight, white man. And yet, here I am, sobbing for Idiot TV Host Dexter Mayhew from One Day. This Netflix drama series, which is based on the novel of the same name, managed to humanize my least favorite demographic and destroy me in the process. Like, how am I supposed to just go about my life after that ending? I invested valuable time, energy, and tears into these characters for almost two whole days only to experience devastation and denial.

At the same time, there's plenty of potential for action sequences in Sakamoto's present days, since the character hasn't forgotten all the martial arts and gun-fu that made him the best in his line of work. However, the comedy from the show will hail from the fact that Sakamoto's foes will obviously underestimate him because he appears to have aged and gone soft ever since he quit his people-killing ways. As the trailer underscores, however, Sakamoto will still be a formidable opponent that could be even more dangerous than his former self, because now his family's safety is on the line.

Sakamoto Days is based on the manga series by author Yuto Suzuki. The manga chapters started rolling out in 2020 and currently, the title has 5 million copies in circulation. Episodes from the anime series are directed by Masaki Watanabe (Seikaisuru Kado), who earlier this month shared a message with fans to reveal his excitement about the adaptation and what he hopes to achieve with production company TMS Entertainment (Dr. Stone, Lupin the Third). He wrote:

"When I read the manga Sakamoto Days, I recall being excited by the dynamic action scenes. For the anime, we would like to channel that excitement through action and speed by utilizing "motion", "color" and "sound" unique to animation. We hope to preserve the humor sprinkled throughout the story, while fully depicting Sakamoto's character as the family-loving no-kill hitman that he is. The whole production crew is currently hard at work, so please stand by patiently until the series' premiere!"

Netflix premieres Sakamoto Days in January 2025. In a departure from its release strategy, the streamer will release episodes weekly. A specific release date is yet to be unveiled by the streamer. You can watch the trailer below:

TONYA MOSLEY, HOST: This is FRESH AIR. Tom Wolfe's first and best-known novel was "The Bonfire Of The Vanities." His second novel, called "A Man In Full," was also about the morals and lack of them among the wealthy and powerful. It's now been adapted by David E. Kelley into a new Netflix series starring Jeff Bridges (ph) and Diane Lane. Our TV critic David Bianculli has this review.DAVID BIANCULLI, BYLINE: Way back in 1986, David E. Kelley was a young lawyer, enlisted by TV producer Steven Bochco to come to Hollywood and write scripts for Bochco's NBC drama series "LA Law." Kelley turned out to be a prolific and creative writer, providing many of that show's best and most memorable episodes. At the same time, new-wave journalist Tom Wolfe was trying his hand at writing novels, turning out his own creative and memorable stories - "Bonfire Of The Vanities," for one, followed by "A Man In Full."Kelley went on to create and write his own Emmy-winning TV series, including "Ally McBeal," "The Practice" and "Boston Legal." More recently, he's had success in a slightly different line of TV work, adapting existing novels for television - "Big Little Lies," "Mr. Mercedes," "Goliath." Now, for Netflix, he turns to Tom Wolfe's "A Man In Full," updating it to a modern-day setting. In so doing, he manages to explore the rich and famous and the legal and prison systems in ways that echo everything from the #MeToo movement and racially motivated police brutality to the behavior of certain modern political figures.BIANCULLI: The man put under a magnifying glass is Charlie Croker, a wealthy Atlanta businessman played by Jeff Daniels. As we meet Charlie in the opening scene, he's on the floor dead. But then we flash back 10 days to Charlie's 60th birthday party. He's holding it for himself, sparing no expense. And we follow him from there, as various forces conspire to bring him down or help him out, as he faces sudden bankruptcy when his bank demands repayment of his very large loan.Charlie isn't a very likable figure, but he is a charismatic one. And Jeff Daniels has played that type of villain before in the Netflix Western "Godless" and embraced it with vigor and power to spare. He does that here, too, creating a formidable man who's used to throwing his weight around. But the secret to David Kelley's TV series was that he always made sure the protagonists in his stories were pitted against equally powerful antagonists. That's certainly the case with Harry Zale, the bank officer who calls Charlie into his office to demand repayment.He's played by Bill Camp, who last played opposite Daniels in the TV series "American Rust." After their tense meeting, Harry and Charlie shake hands as Charlie's young wife looks on. But their handshake grips are so tight that the two men wince as they say goodbye.(SOUNDBITE OF TV SHOW, "A MAN IN FULL")JEFF DANIELS: (As Charlie Croker) Good to meet you, Harry.BILL CAMP: (As Harry Zale) Pleasure.DANIELS: (As Charlie Croker) You speak to me like that in front of my bride...CAMP: (As Harry Zale) Sorry, I didn't realize she'd be here. Maybe next time leave the misses back home in the trophy case.BIANCULLI: Later in the series, Charlie also meets his match in Wes Jordan, who's running for reelection as mayor and wants Charlie's help in smearing his opponent. Charlie, a former college football star, is used to being the alpha dog at any meeting. But when Charlie finally meets the mayor face-to-face to talk terms, once again, Charlie finds that's not the case. William Jackson Harper plays the mayor.(SOUNDBITE OF TV SHOW, "A MAN IN FULL")WILLIAM JACKSON HARPER: (As Wes Jordan) I certainly appreciate you coming in. I can also appreciate that we may differ some on our politics.DANIELS: (As Charlie Croker) I'm here, Mr. Mayor.HARPER: (As Wes Jordan) Well, this is obviously a delicate situation, one that requires some discretion. Norman Bagovitch becoming mayor has the potential to do enormous damage to this city. I'm sure that we can both agree on that.DANIELS: (As Charlie Croker) How can I be of help?HARPER: (As Wes Jordan) Yeah, I'm getting to that. Here, sit down. You're the 60-minute man. You enjoy a great deal of celebrity here in Georgia, goodwill that I hope to trade on. The problem? You're going bankrupt. And should that become public, your celebrity, your word, your power of influence, it all becomes compromised. So we need to move with a certain efficiency here.DANIELS: (As Charlie Croker) I'm not going bankrupt.HARPER: (As Wes Jordan) It would be best if you checked your bull**** at the door. I know a lot of what goes on at Planters Bank (ph). We - and I'm talking about the city here. We keep a lot of our deposits, municipal deposits, at this bank. I'm talking about hundreds of millions of dollars that they can lend based on those deposits. They will do a lot to keep me happy. And if you were to damage Norman Bagovitch's mayoral prospects, the City of Atlanta would be indebted to you. I would be indebted to you.DANIELS: (As Charlie Croker) Spit it out, your honor.HARPER: (As Wes Jordan) I will modulate my spit at my own pace.BIANCULLI: The cast of "A Man In Full" features some clear standouts. Diane Lane as Charlie's ex-wife manages to capture the satirical comedy of Tom Wolfe's character while still creating a believable, likable human being. Also really good in their supporting roles are Roger White as Charlie's attorney and Jon Michael Hill as one of Charlie's employees suddenly caught up in the legal and prison systems. They're so good, as are Diane Lane as the ex-wife and William Jackson Harper as the mayor, that this series could just as easily have been about any one of them. Loyal Kelley fans also may recognize familiar faces from his various TV series. There's Lucy Liu from "Ally McBeal" and the judge is from "Boston Public," and one of Charlie's advisers is from "Boston Legal."Kelley adapted all six episodes himself, but divided directorial chores between two other acclaimed talents, Regina Hall (ph) and Thomas Schlamme. The actors, directors and story all work to tighten the noose around Charlie. The tension and excitement and surprise in "A Man In Full" isn't about whether he survives - we know he doesn't - but what he does in his final 10 days. Even with death as the last stop, it turns out to be the journey, not the destination, that matters the most.MOSLEY: David Bianculli teaches television studies at Rowan University. He reviewed "A Man In Full," now streaming on Netflix. On tomorrow's show, WNBA star and Olympic gold medalist Brittney Griner talks about the physical and emotional hell of her nearly 300 days in Russian prisons, and what it's been like to be reunited with her wife and her team, the Phoenix Mercury. She's about to start her second season since returning to the U.S. Less than a year and a half ago. I hope you can join us.(SOUNDBITE OF WAYNE HORVITZ AND THE ROYAL ROOM COLLECTIVE MUSIC ENSEMBLE'S "A WALK IN THE RAIN")MOSLEY: Our interviews and reviews are produced and edited by Amy Salit, Phyllis Myers, Sam Briger, Lauren Krenzel, Ann Marie Baldonado, Therese Madden, Thea Chaloner, Susan Nyakundi and Joel Wolfram.
