‘ZeroZeroZero’ Season 1

The Italian author Roberto Saviano’s book “Gomorrah” — about how the mafia has evolved into something more insidious in the 21st century — has already been turned into an acclaimed 2008 film and an ongoing television series. Now a handful of international TV production companies and networks have backed an adaptation of Saviano’s “ZeroZeroZero,” another ambitious and eye-opening report on how international drug-trafficking has become tightly interwoven into the global economy. The TV version has Andrea Riseborough, Dane DeHaan and Gabriel Byrne playing the members of a prominent family whose shipping company survives thanks to a cocaine smuggling operation.

‘The Test: A New Era for Australia’s Team’

This eight-part docu-series follows the recent highs and lows of the Australian national cricket team, from the 2018 “Sandpapergate” scandal — which saw multiple players implicated in a rule-bending scheme to scuff up the ball — to the subsequent attempt to adjust to new leadership. “The Test” offers a rare inside look at an athletic institution in crisis, and tells a different kind of underdog sports story: about a once-dominant squad trying to regain its edge.

‘Blow the Man Down’

Fans of darkly comic crime pictures like “Fargo” and “A Simple Favor” should enjoy “Blow the Man Down,” a twisty thriller featuring a fine cast and a memorable coastal Maine location. Co-written and co-directed by Bridget Savage Cole and Danielle Krudy, the movie is about two sisters (played by Sophie Lowe and Morgan Saylor) who attempt to cover up a murder and then find themselves in an uneasy alliance with a local brothel’s manipulative madam (Margo Martindale). This female-led take on film noir — which sports a whimsical sea shanty score — is both wickedly entertaining and refreshingly offbeat.

‘Making the Cut’

The fashion-themed reality competition series “Project Runway” owes a lot of its success to the warm, bright personalities of its former host Heidi Klum and the contestants’ original mentor Tim Gunn. Those two now unveil their similar series “Making the Cut,” which features designers and brand-builders from around the world. In addition to its more international scope, “Making the Cut” will reportedly differ from “Project Runway” in its emphasis on the business side of fashion, with marketability being just as important as originality.
