I adore postapocalyptica, and Snowpiercer (South Korea/USA, 2013, Radius-TWC) is a lesser-known masterpiece of the genre. A 2013 English-language South Korean film based on a French graphic novel, Snowpiercer is set on a train hurtling through a frozen landscape after a failed attempt at climate engineering has created a new ice age. Life inside the train is hell for those at the back that are led in a dramatic and bloody revolt by Curtis (Chris Evans). Available on Showtime and Vudu.
TURN: Washington’s Spies, the AMC series, is a fictional account of the Culper spy ring of the American Revolution. Fans of Hamilton will appreciate it, as will any American-history buffs. A strong ensemble provides several characters to root for, as well as one or two we can love to hate. The third season just ended and nicely tied off the major story arcs, but fans are hoping the show will be renewed for more espionage and intrigue. Available on AMC.com and On Demand.
