Padma Lakshmiâs culinary travel show comes to Hulu while Top Chef ends its 17th season. Plus an upsetting HBO historical documentary, a cute Netflix anime, and some special reports on the coronavirus.
Hello!
You may have noticed a movie called 365 Days near the top of Netflix’s daily Top 10 list for the past few days. You might not know anything about it, because it seemed to come out of nowhere. Well, it actually came from Poland. And it’s [terrrrrrrible](. It’s an erotic drama in the vein of Fifty Shades of Grey, but cranked up to a Hundred Shades of Grey. [I watched it so you don’t have to](. I don’t recommend it, unless you like watching things that are hilariously bad. Here are tonight’s TV picks. -[Liam](

Now on Hulu
Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi travels the U.S. in this new Anthony Bourdain-esque food series and explores the diverse food culture of various immigrant groups who've shaped American cuisine into what it is today. Set on uncovering the roots and relationship between our food and our history, this series is another great addition to the world of culinary travel programming. The complete first season is now on Hulu. It’s a big day for Lakshmi all around, as Top Chef’s supersized Season 17 finale also airs tonight at 10/9c on Bravo, and then immediately after that she'll guest on Watch What Happens Live with her Top Chef colleague Tom Colicchio.

The Prince of Darkness
[Bully. Coward. Victim. The Story of Roy Cohn is about power](
Thursday at 9/8c on HBO
Many interview subjects in this documentary about infamous power-brokering attorney Roy Cohn describe him as one of the most evil men in American history, and he was right in the middle of some very dark stuff, like helping send Julius and Ethel Rosenberg to the electric chair on trumped-up treason charges, advising Sen. Joe McCarthy during the Red Scare, serving as an operative for brutal anti-gay politicians while being gay himself, and helping build a young Donald Trump into the man he became. This documentary — made by director Ivy Meeropol, who is Julius and Ethel Rosenberg's granddaughter — reckons with Cohn's grim legacy, with special attention paid to his relationship with Trump as the then-real estate developer’s attorney from the '70s through the '80s, when Trump abandoned him as he was dying of AIDS. This documentary shows how power works when wielded by someone who uses it exclusively for nefarious purposes.

Now on Netflix
Melancholic whimsy seems to be the vibe of this anime movie about a girl who transforms herself into a cat in order to get close to her crush, who she can't connect with as a human but who loves her as a cat. But spend too much time as a cat, you may find yourself becoming a cat forever, on the Isle of Cats. It's sort of a reverse Pinocchio situation. The movie has lovely animation courtesy of Studio Colorido, who brought you animes like Penguin Highway and Pokémon: Twilight Wings. If you know you know.
