On the Next Copper: To One Shortly To DIe
A murder demands Detective Corcoran work closely with an unlikely partner as General Donovan is eager to close the case cleanly.
Meanwhile, Robert Morehouse makes a difficult decision regarding the trial of Kennedy, and the Freemans welcome a loved one back into their arms and home.
An all-new Copper airs Sunday, July 28 at 10/9c on BBC America.
Note: I have nothing against Dakota Johnson and there’s a chance she’ll be playing Julia Carpenter, the second (younger) Madame Web from the comics. But it still feels ageist to go with the younger version of the character instead of the one who’s usually associated with that name.
Also, I’m not 100% sure what Madame Web’s age in the comics is so I just went with actors born before 1960.

“There is not a film performance this year more technically virtuosic than Alfre Woodard’s awe-inspiring central turn as Bernadine, a hardened prison warden who has long repressed the psychic toll of executing over a dozen inmates throughout her career, in Chinonye Chukwu’s Clemency. Using little more than her body, the most expressive and effective weapon in her arsenal, Woodard draws a haunting portrait of a woman quietly reevaluating the sum total of her life’s work, weighing her professional standing with the deep-seated guilt that pours out like a burst dam during the film’s climax, which plays out entirely on Woodard’s tormented face. In an earlier shot, following a heated argument with the lawyer (Richard Schiff) of the latest prisoner (the remarkable Aldis Hodge) that Bernadine is scheduled to put to death, Woodard does nothing but constrict her throat and gulp with alarming severity. It’s a small, perfectly suppressed movement that exposes a fissure in this supposedly ironclad figure, a single trace of the abysmal vulnerability that Bernadine herself declines to acknowledge. If acting awards were actually handed out on merit alone, the Oscar would already be in Woodard’s hands.” — Matthew Eng

Shout-out to Alfre Woodard for having an actor who is 20 years younger than her play her love interest in Juanita. Adam Beach was excellent casting all around (for real tho… he’s always great) and its nice to see an actress have a younger co-star, usually its the other way around. And the two of them were fantastic playing against each other, it was a beautiful little movie.
