Official Synopsis: In this dramatic comedy, Maggie (Anjelica Huston) and Ben (Bill Pullman) are middle-aged siblings who were given equal halves of their father’s land upon his death. Though perpetual screw-up Ben sold his half years ago to his more responsible sister, he is now doing everything he can to get back. And Maggie is doing everything she can to get him off her property. Also starring Julia Stiles, David Morse and Brian D’Arcy James, this family drama directed by Pulitzer-nominated playwright Theresa Rebeck is a gratifying tale of decades-long sibling conflict.

TV BOX SET

Official Synopsis: It’s not easy being queen, as young Victoria (Jenna Coleman) quickly learns upon her ascension, at the age of 18, to the throne of England following the death of her uncle in 1837. First, she has to stand up to her mother (Catherine Flemming) and Sir John Conroy (Paul Rhys. Then, she upsets her subjects when they learn that she spread an ugly rumor about her mother’s lady-in-waiting. As the season progresses, she also helps usher in a new government after the sitting prime minister resigns; defends her ladies in waiting; and, at the behest of her mother and Sir John, begins a search for a husband. Her selection, however, doesn’t sit well with Parliament; and her choice has doubts of his own, as well, due to the financial arrangement she offers him. Marriage, pregnancy and more political clashes follow–as does the unthinkable: an assassination attempt.
