‘Bad Sisters’ season 2

‘Silo’ season 2
“Silo” ranks among “Severance” and “For All Mankind” as one of the best Apple TV Plus shows to watch, and now at long last, we’ll finally learn more about its dystopian sci-fi world. For the uninitiated, the show follows the plight of the last remaining 10,000 people on Earth who have holed up in a mysterious labyrinthine underground complex from which the series gets its name. Nobody knows when or why the silo was built, and anyone who dares to ask questions risks exile, a veritable death sentence in the toxic and uninhabitable outside world. While the Silo’s newest sheriff, Juliette (Rebecca Ferguson), unraveled some of its mysteries in season one, the next outing promises to shine some light on the mysteries of the outside world and how the hellscape of humanity’s last bastion came to be in the first place.

‘Blitz’
If you’re in the mood for a war drama, Steve McQueen’s “Blitz” paints a heart-wrenching picture of the perils Londoners survived amid Germany’s Blitz bombing during World War II. Saoirse Ronan stars as Rita Hanway, a London factory worker who, like many parents at the time, is torn by the decision to send her 9-year-old son George (Elliott Heffernan) to the safety of the English countryside. Bitter at the upheaval and determined to return to his mom and grandfather (Paul Weller), he hightails it back to East London at the first opportunity. Along the way, he stumbles from one nightmare into the next as his distraught mother searches for him and finds a new sense of community back home.

It follows three courageous Afghani women in real-time as they fight to recover the autonomy they gained in recent decades. Mani’s raw depiction of their harrowing plight and struggles to escape their stifling new norm captures the spirit and resilience of Afghan women.
