Can art make sense of catastrophe? Station Eleven tries and succeeds. It all feels so vividly, achingly similar to the current moment. But they still grapple with what’s happened to them and to society. The Traveling Symphony ensemble, which includes Kirsten (Mackenzie Davis), is committed to spreading theater, music and culture, even if the world is in shambles. Twenty years later, a roving troupe performs the works of Shakespeare for small communities of survivors. A deadly flu kills 99 percent of Earth’s population, wiping out civilization as we know it. The premise of the new limited series Station Eleven may seem like it was inspired by the current pandemic, but in reality, the show is adapted from an extraordinarily prescient 2014 novel by Emily St. The Peacemaker series will also follow that Marvel-on-Disney Plus tradition of showing us more of these characters' personal lives, as we meet Peacemaker's dad, a curmudgeon (played by Robert Patrick) who doesn't respect his son at all. The series follows Peacemaker as he leaves the hospital we saw him wind up in, to a life continuing to work with Amanda Waller's agents (yes, Steve Agee and Jennifer Holland) are back for this round. And while the movie had so many interesting misfit villains to choose from, nobody should be surprised to see that it's WWE champion John Cena's Peacemaker who got the call to extend the DC Universe to HBO Max. The DCEU is following Disney Plus' lead, giving a spinoff show from James Gunn's The Suicide Squad.
