Weekend Whats

What to Watch: During winter in Ennis, Alaska, it’s dark, cold, mysterious, and otherworldly. That makes for a perfect setting for the latest iteration of an HBO classic, this time starring Jodie Foster. True Detective: Night Country.

+ What (Else) to Watch: Let’s stick with crime series. This one takes place on the streets of London, where “an anonymous phone call draws two brilliant detectives — a young woman in the early stages of her career and a well-connected man determined to protect his legacy — into a fight to correct an old miscarriage of justice.” Check out Criminal Record on AppleTV.

+ What to Hear: “There’s just a toughness and a certain darkness about him now that really didn’t exist before. He’s still extremely committed to this war, to winning this war. … And he’s very single minded, almost obsessive, in pursuing that goal.” It’s a long way from his comedy career. Simon Shuster talks to Fresh Air about how war changed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. (Let’s hope war changes the GOP members of Congress in time to let Zelenskyy win this thing.)
