FRIDAY

The Unforgivable

HOW/WHEN & WHERE TO WATCH: Streaming on Netflix

After spending 20 years in prison for a violent crime she admits was purposeful, Sandra Bullock's Ruth Slater is trying to reconnect with a piece of her past. Ruth, who murdered a police officer, has a singular focus now that she's out: to find her little sister Katie, all these years later. But she's forced to ask the question: Does Katie even want to know her now? Viola Davis, Jon Bernthal, Vincent D'Onofrio, Richard Thomas, Linda Emond, Aisling Franciosi, and Rob Morgan round out the cast for this Netflix drama. —Ashley Boucher

Season Finale
Last week's Succession could have satisfactorily concluded with Kieran Culkin's Roman Roy accidentally sending a d--- pic to his father, Brian Cox's media magnate Logan, an error with intriguing possible corporate consequences for a number of characters, not least J. Smith-Cameron's Gerri. But the very beloved, very twisted, very foul-mouthed dramedy had more to tease in its closing seconds as viewers saw the head of Jeremy Strong's emotionally demolished, and likely drunk, Kendall dip below the waters of a swimming pool. Is this the end for Logan's second oldest son? Tune the f--- in to find out. —Clark Collis
