This week’s picks include a variety of new releases, from the legal drama Cupertino to the music-themed anthology series V/H/S/Mixtape. Cupertino, created by Robert and Michelle King, follows a law firm as they take on the tech giants of Silicon Valley. The show has been described as a “proper network procedural” with fascinating cases and a solid ensemble cast, including Mike Colter, Rachel Keller, and Renée Elise Goldsberry. Meanwhile, V/H/S/Mixtape features a collection of shorts from various directors, including Ernest Dickerson, Flying Lotus, and RZA, and has been praised for its deranged and entertaining take on the music industry.
