Across America, violent crime rips communities apart. Loved ones are murdered. Young adults are sent to prison for life. Families lose children on both sides. For decades, this cycle of violence and punishment has persisted without remedy. Now, one group is taking dramatic action to encourage redemption and transformation in the boldest way possible...by facilitating meetings between offenders and victims of violent crimes. These are the stories of the Merciful Minds.

Netflix’s recent Millie Bobby Brown vehicle, Enola Holmes 3, is a disappointing and confusing entry in the stellar Enola Holmes franchise. Directed by Philip Barantini, the film stars Brown as Enola Holmes, estranged sister of Sherlock Holmes, Henry Cavill as Sherlock Holmes, and Louis Partridge as her love interest, Viscount Tewkesbury. While it deserves credit for its exciting action scenes and attempts to expand the diversity of its Dickensian setting, the most recent entry in the series completely scuttles Enola’s underdog status from the first films that made her so charming and gave a touch of realism to the story of a young, unmarried woman living in London while self-employed as a detective.
