True Detective Season 3 (DVD and Blu-ray)

In 2015, retired detective Wayne Hays, his memory failing, looks back at the disappearance of 12-year-old Will and ten-year-old Julie Purcell, recalling the days and weeks immediately following the 1980 crime, as well as developments in 1990, when he and his former partner, Roland West, were subpoenaed after a major break in the case. Playing out in three separate time periods, the third season tells the story of a macabre crime in the heart of the Ozarks, and a mystery that deepens over decades. Mahershala Ali (Oscar® winner for “Moonlight”) stars as state police detective Wayne Hays, with Stephen Dorff (“Somewhere”) starring as Roland West, the detective who investigated the case with Hays, and Carmen Ejogo (“Selma”) starring as schoolteacher and writer Amelia Reardon.

Jett Season 1 (Digital Download)
Fresh out of prison, retired professional thief Daisy (aka “Jett”) Kowalski is reluctantly drawn back into doing what she does best after being forced to quit following the birth of her child. Narrowly completing a dangerous “final” job, she finds herself pulled back into a series of assignments masterminded by ruthless criminals, who are determined to exploit her skills for their own ends. JETT also stars Giancarlo Esposito (“Better Call Saul”; Emmy® nominee for “Breaking Bad,”) as powerful crime lord Charlie Baudelaire, who offers Jett one last task in Cuba, reuniting her with a former flame, but setting off a chain of unexpected events that endangers everyone she cares for. 
AVAILABLE September 16th
My Favorite Shapes by Julio Torres (Digital Download)
Taped before a live audience at Elsewhere in Brooklyn, and executive produced by Fred Armisen and Lorne Michaels, Torres’ multimedia comedy show displays his favorite shapes on a custom-made industrial conveyor belt used as a runway for the various items. Providing individual back stories and anecdotes for each shape, Torres presents items such as a plexiglass square, an oval that wishes he were a circle, a self-conscious cactus and a Ferrero Rocher chocolate that annoyingly left her little skirt at home. Throughout the special, Torres provides his unique insight on topics including the relationship between Fred Flintstone and Betty Rubble, what animals should actually exist in a zoo and the inner turmoil of the exclusionary curtain that separates first class passengers from economy class on a plane. 
AVAILABLE September 17th
Gentleman Jack (DVD via MOD)
Set in the complex, changing world of 1832 Halifax, West Yorkshire – the cradle of the evolving Industrial Revolution – GENTLEMAN JACK focuses on landowner Anne Lister, who is determined to transform the fate of her faded ancestral home, Shibden Hall, by reopening the coal mines and marrying well. The charismatic, single-minded, swashbuckling Lister – who dresses head-to-toe in black and charms her way into high society – has no intention of marrying a man. The story examines Lister’s relationships with her family, servants, tenants and industrial rivals and, most importantly, would-be wife.
AVAILABLE September 30th
One Nation Under Stress (Digital Download)
Despite spending more on healthcare than any other country, Americans’ life expectancy is decreasing. In ONE NATION UNDER STRESS, neurosurgeon and investigative journalist Dr. Sanjay Gupta sets out to discover what is happening and why. His starting point is trying to understand the spike in so-called “deaths of despair” – opioid overdose, alcohol-related liver cirrhosis and suicide – primarily among middle-age, white workingclass people. Gupta travels across the country, interviewing experts in a wide range of fields, who share their insights on why we’re experiencing so much stress, how it affects the brain, body and behavior, and the long-term consequences for the health of the nation.
