The makings of a great midseason filler episode that would connect in many different directions. This is a police drama filler with a guest director.

Alongside A Drowning Man, I Signed The Petition, 3 Logical Exits, and A World Not Ours, A Man Returned continues to paint a realistic portrait of the Refugee Crisis that eschews the Western gaze and stereotype. These are real portraits painted by a director with lived experience, cultural connection and an amazing eye for visuals.

An episode of "The Sopranos" articulates an identity crisis unique to the Italian-Americans and demonstrates how Indigenous communities are pushed aside in the ensuing debate.

Behind all the action, 'Space Sweepers' is a surprisingly heartfelt and progressive story about building community.

Although Christmas is a time of year for love and cheer for all, holiday cinema has not always represented diverse communities. Being a holiday with Christian origins, much of its media consists of straight white families or straight white romances. Luckily, modern years have been bringing with them plenty of POC and LGBTQ+ representation that the holidays so desperately need.

Black Christmas movies are few and far in between to find — so it is wonderful to see more representation on the screen just in time
