The Lazarus Project
In this 2022 British sci-fi series picked up this year for U.S. distribution, George (Paapa Essiediu) is a London app developer in an ingenious variation on the Groundhog Day concept: Every July 1, reality resets itself. After a pandemic hits, he wakes up on July 1 before the pandemic. He tries to warn people, but they think he’s nuts. Turns out there’s a time resetters group called the Lazarus Project that can save the world — but is it good to play God? And can George reset time to help one close friend, without Lazarus’ approval?
Watch it: The Lazarus Project, June 4, 9 p.m. ET on TNT
30 for 30: The Luckiest Guy in the World
Legendary Hoop Dreams director Steve James tells the tall but true tale of basketball Hall of Famer Bill Walton, 70, the Grateful Dead fan, activist and rule breaker who knows both the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. James says the big guy “proves the famous F. Scott Fitzgerald quote wrong — Bill Walton has had not just a second act in his American life but maybe a third and fourth as well.”
Watch it: 30 for 30: The Luckiest Guy in the World, June 6, 8 p.m. on ESPN
Your Netflix watch of the week is here!
Manifest, Season 4 — Part 2 (Netflix original)
This supernatural drama series — about the passengers and crew of an airplane who suddenly reappear five years after they’ve been presumed dead — has had a supernatural journey all its own: Canceled by NBC in 2021 after three seasons, it became a megahit for Netflix, which green-lighted a fourth and final season split into two parts. The final 10 episodes are landing, just in time for the “Death Day” that is central to the show’s twisty mythology.

Deadloch (Amazon original series)

What’s new at the movies …
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Past Lives, PG-13
When her childhood friend Hae Sung (Teo Yoo) visits from their native Korea, Nora (Greta Lee, The Morning Show) — a modern Korean American woman — finds herself at a romantic crossroads. Will she remain with her supportive hipster husband, Arthur (John Magaro), with whom she shares a downtown Manhattan apartment? Or is the power of the past so compelling that she’ll embrace her soulmate/best friend whom she left two decades before when she emigrated with her family as a schoolgirl? In this leisurely, graceful, mesmerizing romance, the magnetic Lee navigates between the past and the present, pragmatism and magical possibilities, who she was versus who she is — and weighs the life she’s chosen against what might have been, and still could be. Consider this film the indie romance of the summer. —Thelma M. Adams (T.M.A.)
Watch it: Past Lives, June 2 in theaters
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ The Boogeyman, PG-13
Dad never listens. The kids tell him there’s something lurking in the closet, or a shadow with eyes under the bed. His response? Denial. It’s been ever thus — and continues in The Boogeyman, the latest adaptation of a short story by Stephen King, 75, which foregrounds that familiar ghoul. In this don’t-open-that-door jump-fest, older sister Sadie (a grounded Sophie Thatcher from Yellowjackets) and younger Sawyer (charming Vivien Lyra Blair) keep informing their widowed therapist father (Chris Messina) that something’s rotten in their vintage house. He’s convinced that they suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder after their mother’s fatal car accident. Many dark and scary encounters later, Pops himself faces the horrifying ghoul. He belatedly discovers, in a psychiatrist-heal-thyself way, that his inability to parent is his greatest fear. He wasn’t listening. —T.M.A.
Watch it: The Boogeyman, June 2 in theaters
