Television doesn’t take vacation, but people who recommend television do. I’ll be out on the open road for a bit, so this newsletter is taking a vacation, too, but just for a little over a week. If you need an easy TV suggestion, you can always check out our [Ultimate Guide to What to Watch in July](WN5xsyhN6:m:1:2364960064:A59DF1E90CC3B5A577DF999610A44FC6:r), which includes everything we’re currently watching on all the major streaming services.

Developed by novelist Dennis Lehane and based on James Keene's autobiographical novel In With the Devil, the drama stars Taron Egerton as Keene, who's facing a 10-year prison sentence before he gets an unexpected offer: He'll be freed if he can befriend and tease a confession out of a suspected serial killer (Paul Walter Hauser). Ray Liotta, in one of his final roles, plays Jimmy's father, an ex-cop with his own burdens. Two episodes are out today, with more coming weekly. -Kelly Connolly WN5xsyhN6:m:1:2364960064:A59DF1E90CC3B5A577DF999610A44FC6:r OUT TODAY ON NETFLIX [Ahoy, families looking for a movie, thar be The Sea Beast](WN5xsyhN6:m:1:2364960064:A59DF1E90CC3B5A577DF999610A44FC6:r) Most Netflix original kids movies are just re-dubs of second-tier CGI films from foreign studios, but The Sea Beast, from Moana and Big Hero 6 director Chris Williams, looks like a legitimate contender for best family film of the year. A young girl stows away on her idol's ship to help him hunt gigantic sea creatures, leading to seafaring adventure and action. It's getting [great reviews](WN5xsyhN6:m:1:2364960064:A59DF1E90CC3B5A577DF999610A44FC6:r) and features three TV Guide favorites as voice actors: The Boys' Karl Urban, Legion's Dan Stevens, and Chernobyl's Jared Harris. WN5xsyhN6:m:1:2364960064:A59DF1E90CC3B5A577DF999610A44FC6:r SERIES PREMIERE SUNDAY, JULY 10 AT 10/9C ON HBO [The Anarchists is a crime and crypto party that comes to an inevitable end](WN5xsyhN6:m:1:2364960064:A59DF1E90CC3B5A577DF999610A44FC6:r) HBO's latest true crime docuseries follows a collective of self-proclaimed anarchists — but more frequently privileged libertarians and cryptocurrency evangelists — as they gather in Acapulco for a conference spewing the benefits of anarchy and trashing the idea of a government-controlled state. Filmmaker Todd Schramke spent six years with the "muh freedoms!" group, witnessing the movement grow and inevitably collapse after divisions, lack of leadership, and… murder. Who could have predicted that a movement with no rules would descend into chaos? It's compelling on its own, but extra watchable for the schadenfreude.

Shameless’ Jeremy Allen White — who has spawned many thirsty twitter threads — stars as a chef who takes over a sandwich shop in Chicago after his brother dies, but mostly it’s about the intimate and tense close quarters of a professional kitchen and lots and lots of yelling. Its frenetic energy is unmatched by anything else on TV, and like a great hot beef sando, it’s hard to not devour it until it’s all gone (and at just seven half-hour episodes, you’ll be hungry for more).
