1917 (2019)

Sam Mendes's war epic, which follows two young British soldiers on a mission to deliver a crucial message across enemy lines, is seamlessly shot and edited to seem like one long, winding journey through the horrors of battle.

TVF's five-episode series, about a squabbling middle-class and their crumbling house, is sweet, funny and gentle. Starring Geetanjali Kulkarni, Jameel Khan, Vaibhav Raj Gupta and Harsh Mayar, it unfolds not as one, long story, but as a series of anecdotes narrated by their piggybank. 

The Help (2011)

Each of this British mystery show's gripping 70 episodes is based on an Agatha Christie short story or novel that features detective Hercule Poirot, played by David Suchet, as he unravels cases of murder in his medthodical manner. 

Bhonsle (2020)

Devashish Makhija's portrait of a retired police constable (Manoj Bajpayee), in the days leading up to the Ganesh Chaturthi festivities in his area, is also a perceptive snapshot of the middle class. 

Mind Your Language (1977-1985)

An English teacher (Barry Evans) is hired to teach the language to a motley crew of foreign exchange students. Only chaos can ensue. The sitcom, directed by Stuart Allen, is sharp, witty and genuinely funny.

When The Boston Globe's investigative unit begins looking into systematic child sexual abuse perpetrated by Catholic priests in the area, what they uncover is both staggering and devastating. The Tom McCarthy film is based on true events and stars Rachel McAdams, Mark Ruffalo and Michael Keaton.
