It is June, which means Juneteenth is on the horizon, which means your TV viewing should have a healthy does of color in it just off g.p.

Harlan Coben’s Run Away – Netflix

When you see Harlan Coben in a headline, you already the plot is going to hit you with brain-twisting loops just about every episode. Run Away is no different as the Netflix limited series, the of over a dozen produced by the best-selling author, will have you wondering who did what and why with a whole lot of WTF’s for good measure.

The series stars James Nesbitt, who’s cool, but stay for Alfred Enoch, who you’ll recognize from How To Get Way With Murder and Harry Potter flicks, and the underrated Lucian Msamati (Gangs Of London, The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency).

Nesbitt portrays Simon, a privileged bloke whose eldest daughter Paige has dipped out thanks to a bad drug problem, a wild boyfriend and some hard luck. Add in cult members with an assassination list, a savvy private eye with ulterior motives, cops who care (see Enoch), a neighbor with scruples (see Msamati) and a seedy underworld, and this is perfect for a weekend binge.

No Sudden Move – HBO Max

A gangster period piece is always a must-watch, and 2021’s No Sudden Move may have flown under the radar, making it perfect to stream this weekend. Starring the odd pairing of Don Cheadle and Benicio Del Toro, the two are a pair of felons hired to steal some very important documents. But in the midst of their scheme, they uncover who’s really behind the theft, which drags them into a plot that finds itself at the intersection of exposing the unsavory mess of the automotive industry and race.

The cast is star-studded, no matter who’s on screen featuring Ray Liotta, David Harbour, Jon Hamm, Brandan Fraser, Matt Damon, Kieran Culkin, and even Julia Fox.
