With help from editor Ben Bradlee, Graham races to catch up with The New York Times to expose a massive cover-up of government secrets that spans three decades and four U.S. presidents.

2. Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy

Could a cup of tea and an accompanying spoon be more powerful than the agent of hypnosis in Peele’s Get Out, a psychological drama with a sarcastic bent on the history of black Americans and the more than messy modern day social interactions. Bruh to the rescue.

THE BOSS BABY is a hilariously universal story about how an [unusual] baby’s arrival impacts a family, told from the point of view of a delightfully unreliable narrator, a wildly imaginative 7 year old named Tim. With a sly, heart-filled message about the importance of family,” DreamWorks TV

The Netflix original ‘The Crown’ returns to the streaming platform with a second season that is the last for Claire Foy who plays the Queen.

still, This Is Us

The love for the Pearson  family continues through season two of the family drama This Is Us. There isn’t an episode where a scene in the kitchen discussing foster child Deja, parenting the trio of kids through three life ages around a kitchen table or managing real life where coffee is a consistent prop doesn’t include coffee.

For its communal nature, coffee is always a character to watch in this series.
