By Scottie Andrew, CNN Netflix’s smash-hit “Squid Game,” a fictional South Korean series in which contestants compete in a series of schoolyard games that will kill them if they lose, all for a few billion won, is bleak, dystopian and searingly political.

Review by Brian Lowry, CNN “Halftime” could have just as easily been titled “The Importance of Being J-Lo,” focusing on Jennifer Lopez’s life and career, somewhat arbitrarily, through a particularly busy, high-profile stretch in 2019 and early 2020.

Review by Brian Lowry, CNN Atmosphere goes a long way in “Dark Winds,” a brooding crime series set on Native-American tribal land in the 1970s that’s part “True Detective,” and with its vaguely mystical vibe, part “Twin Peaks.” Featuring Native-American talent in front of and behind the camera, it’s a solid mystery that’s better during
