TV | Twenties

COMEDYCo-executive-produced by Lena Waithe, Twenties is the

Emmy winner’s semiautobiographical story of a gay black

writer (Jonica “Jojo” T. Gibbs) finding her place in Hollywood—

and life—with the help of her friends. The comedy is light and

deft. This is possibly the first show to ask how you can ghost

someone who doesn’t have a phone. (BET, Wednesdays, 10 p.m.)

NETFLIX | The Letter for the King

FANTASYIn those dark and not so distant times—when

Game of Thrones had ended and the thirst for medieval fantasy

was not yet slaked—there came this new saga,

telling the tale of brave young Tiuri (Amir Wilson).

A knight-to-be was he, of indeterminate potential, on a mission

to save his people from vanquishment by the evil Prince

Viridian (Gijs Blom). And it was adjudged good for kids—

it’s based on a classic YA novel, for one thing—and more

enjoyable than the other Netflix medieval fantasy, The Witcher,

the one with Henry Cavill in a wig. (Launches March 20)
