Alias

A spy drama firmly anchored in the Bush era, "Alias" is a science-fiction-charged look at the lives of CIA operatives and double agents. Sidney Bristow (Jennifer Garner) is recruited to join the CIA out of college, and ends up working alongside her estranged father, Jack (Victor Garber). However, after a shocking tragedy, Sidney learns she may not be working for who she thinks, and has to learn how to fight for herself.

Rating: TV-14
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 86%

The Beatles: Get Back

The Beatles may be one of the greatest bands of all time, but the group has also been notoriously controlling of their image. Composed almost entirely out of previously unseen and restored footage, "The Beatles: Get Back" is a nearly eight-hour three-part docuseries that provides unprecedented insight into the Fab Four's creative process while recording "Let It Be," made even more poignant by the knowledge that the band broke up shortly thereafter. Regardless of your relationship to The Beatles, "Get Back" is a fascinating look at creativity, artistry, and collaboration, all filtered through the lens of one of music's most influential bands.

Starring: The Beatles, Yoko Ono, Linda McCartney
Director: Peter Jackson

Behind The Attraction

Outside of their beloved movies and famous characters, Disney is also known for its innovative theme parks. "Behind the Attraction" takes viewers inside legendary amusements like Star Tours, Space Mountain, and Cinderella's Castle. Narrated by Paget Brewster, each episode explores the history and culture of a different theme park destination, featuring interviews from the Imagineers who bring the rides to life and previwing upcoming attractions. For Disney Parks devotees, it's a particularly special peek behind the magic curtain.

Black-ish

"Black-ish" follows Andre Johnson (Anthony Anderson), an advertising executive who lives and works in all-white spaces and strives to both maintain a sense of connection to his Black identity as well as pass on his culture to his privileged children. His wife, Rainbow (Tracee Ellis Ross), is an anesthesiologist and, in classic sitcom fashion, the grounded foil to Dre's more zany comedy. "Black-ish" is intensely funny but also inherently political, using Bow and Dre's many parenting moments to impart lessons to the audience.

While Cory has a stable family, his best friend, Shawn (Rider Strong), is a bad boy who often relies on Cory and his family for safety, providing some real emotional storytelling for young audiences.

The Muppet Show

During the era of the original "Saturday Night Live" cast and "Monty Python's Flying Circus," when sketch comedy was booming and the Muppets had yet to take to the silver screen, "The Muppet Show" was an ingenious variety show starring remarkably expressive puppets.
