The costume and set designers of the Apple TV+ series "Lessons in Chemistry" discuss their approach to transforming Brie Larson's character into a 1950s TV star. Costume designer Mirren Gordon-Crozier focused on off-duty actresses and working women for inspiration, creating a grounded yet aesthetically pleasing wardrobe. Production designer Cat Smith aimed to create a kitchen that felt impractical and unappealing to Larson's character, using exaggerated elements and pink accents. The team also went to great lengths to source period-appropriate laboratory equipment and find locations that matched the 1950s and '60s aesthetic.

Netflix's "The Fall of the House of Usher" is a brilliant and unsettling modernization of Edgar Allan Poe's tales of terror, infused with contemporary relevance and respect for the source material. Apple TV+'s "Lessons in Chemistry" is a moving adaptation of Bonnie Garmus' novel, featuring a brilliant chemist battling the patriarchy in the 1950s. "Foe" fails to translate well from book to screen, with a convoluted plot and pretentious execution. "The Caine Mutiny Court Martial" is a contemporized courtroom drama based on Herman Wouk's play, featuring Kiefer Sutherland and a strong ensemble cast. "Castlevania: Nocturne" relocates the popular vampire series to the French Revolution, delivering briskly told animated episodes with new characters and a promising future.
