Errol Morris' latest documentary takes us on an Alice in Wonderland adventure deep inside a largely forgotten episode of the early '70s. Told through the lens of Swiss-born, Paris-raised free spirit Joanna Harcourt-Smith, Timothy Leary's lover, the film examines the twists and turns that led Leary, the High Priest of LSD, to seemingly sell out the millions he urged to "turn on, tune in and drop out" and become a narc in 1974. At the heart of the story is the woman Leary described as his "perfect love." Was she a government pawn, a Mata Hari, or simply a beautiful, young, intelligent woman on the trip of a lifetime? Through a series of candid interviews, Morris and Harcourt-Smith reexamine this chaotic period, resulting in a singular snapshot of the early 1970s' cultural landscape-and its profound impact on the trajectory of one woman's life. (Showtime)Rated: Not RatedRelease Date: Nov 29, 2020

 Having learned its lesson with Big Little Lies, HBO intentionally never billed The Outsider as a limited series event, leaving the door open for a second season that could extend the narrative beyond Stephen King's novel. Richard Price had already begun work on the scripts for season two, which seemed inevitable based on the largely positive response to the first installment—and Cynthia Erivo's portrayal of Holly Gibney, in particular. Unfortunately, Deadline reports that HBO has canceled on The Outsider, which may find new life on another network as production company MRC is shopping the series elsewhere.
