STREAMING MOVIE REVIEW
Itâs always a pleasure to see a talented character actor get a lead role, and âThe Outside Storyâ is a pleasure in other respects as well: A pocket-size charmer arriving this week on demand, it takes place in one sunny afternoon on one bustling Brooklyn block. Star Brian Tyree Henry you know as the rapper Paper Boi on Donald Gloverâs âAtlanta,â as the weary ex-con in âIf Beale Street Could Talk,â and most recently as the likable conspiracy freak of âGodzilla vs. Kong.â Heâs a big fella but he fits this modest human comedyâs dimensions to a T.

On the plus side, the 2021 Oscars were historic, with a refreshingly diverse slate of winners, including “Nomadland” filmmaker Chloe Zhao, the first woman of color to win a Best Director prize, earning recognition. That spirit of inclusion was long overdue, and felt especially welcome at a time when the country continues to grapple with issues of racial justice.

The pandemic has forced such previous broadcasts as the Golden Globes to pivot to video-conferenced appearances by farflung nominees. It’s a challenge that has, at its worst, produced shows hampered by technical foul-ups. Even when the remote approach h
“Mayans M.C.,” 10 p.m., FX, rerunning at 11. His brother warned him that you can’t be in two worlds, but EZ keeps trying. Last week, he was in a brutal (and deadly) biker battle, then went to a warm family dinner with his sweet girlfriend Gaby. Now the double life implodes, in an hour that is violent and disturbing, but skillfully directed and acted. It’s often quite mellow, but then has two fierce scenes Galindo with his wife (whom he suspects), then EZ and Gaby in a stroll downtown.
“Frontline: The Virus that Shook the World,” 10 p.m., PBS. This wraps up a compelling, three-hour film that views the impact of the pandemic in 21 countries. That ends a strong PBS night: At 8 p.m., “Finding Your Roots” traces Broadway stars Mandy Patinkin and Audra McDonald; at 9, “Philly DA” see a cop-killing shake the district attorney’s determination to not request the death penalty.
