AMAZING STORIES Stream on Apple TV Plus. A smartphone-obsessed man gets more than he swiped for in this new anthology series, which is based on a 1980s sci-fi show created by Steven Spielberg. The first episode stars Dylan O’Brien as a man who is unwittingly transported from 2019 to the early 20th century through supernatural means. He makes the best of it, finding unlikely love in a rebellious local played by Victoria Pedretti.

ORLANDO (1993) Stream on Criterion Channel; rent on Amazon, Google Play, iTunes, Vudu and YouTube. For a different kind of time-bending story, see Sally Potter’s loose adaptation of the Virginia Woolf novel “Orlando.” Like the book, the film distorts both time period and gender; it stars Tilda Swinton as its title character, who begins the story as a 17th-century English nobleman and ends it as a late 20th-century author and mother. Potter “takes a huge, audacious and necessary leap away from the page,” Caryn James wrote in her review for The New York Times. “The film distills Woolf’s rich literary manner into sumptuous backdrops and visual styles that change with the centuries, suggesting a pageant of art history from Renaissance chiaroscuro to misty Romanticism and beyond.”
