Nightmare Alley (2021) – Hulu and HBO Max 2/1
Unfortunately, Guillermo del Toro’s lavish adaptation of a pitch-black novel (co-written with Kim Morgan) floundered at the box office, despite operating at a level rarely seen these days. Fortunately, its quick death at the box office means a lot more people will get to see it less than two months after its theatrical debut. It may not work for everyone, but it was heaven for me to see Stanton Carlyle (Bradley Cooper in a career-best turn) go through hell.

2022 Winter Olympics – Peacock starting 2/4
You can still watch tape-delayed highlights every night on NBC if you want. But why would you when Peacock lets you watch practically every event live?

Chuck (Complete Series) – HBO Max 2/1
I never finished this sci-fi caper about a super-intelligent big box store employee (Zachary Levi) and the international nonsense he gets up to, but I remember liking it quite a bit when it aired.
