Ginny & Georgia – Season two
How do you live with the knowledge that your mother is a murderer? That’s what Ginny (Antonia Gentry) is going to have to figure out.

The Pale Blue Eye
In 1830, a cadet is found dead in the early hours of a gray winter morning in West Point, New York. But after the body arrives at the morgue, tragedy becomes savagery when it’s discovered the young man’s heart has been skillfully removed.
Fearing irreparable damage to the fledgling military academy, its leaders turn to local detective Augustus Landor (Christian Bale) to solve the murder. Stymied by the cadets’ code of silence, Landor enlists the help of one of their own to pursue the case, an eccentric cadet with a disdain for the rigors of the military and a penchant for poetry – a young man named Edgar Allan Poe (Harry Melling).
Based on the novel by Louis Bayard, The Pale Blue Eye is directed by Scott Cooper (Black Mass, Antlers) and boasts an acclaimed supporting cast including Gillian Anderson, Lucy Boynton, Toby Jones, Timothy Spall and Robert Duvall.
