Just because the show or movie you’re watching doesn’t have Sir David Attenborough narrating a dancing bird’s mating ritual doesn’t mean it’s not a sustainability story. Plenty of Netflix’s biggest titles have something to say about protecting nature, climate change and other high-priority issues for Earth dwellers.
In honor of Show Your Stripes Day, a day to raise awareness of climate change, we’ve partnered with scientist Dr. Ed Hawkins to draw attention to the warming patterns affecting the locations featured in these shows and movies, using a graphic called the “Warming Stripes.” While these stripes might look like the Netflix intro, they actually depict temperature increases over the past 100-plus years in regions around the world.
The reddening stripes seen across all these locations make it clear that no part of the world is spared from the effects of climate change. Fortunately, there...

I've been spending a lot of time this week watching pilots for broadcast network shows that will air next season.
They're a varied bunch, but they've done two things particularly well: Firstly, the pilots have made me appreciate even more what what the weird, evocative "Awake" accomplished in its first and only season. And secondly, they've made me wonder if any of the new shows will achieve the kind of visual and emotional poetry that "Awake" did. I'm not completely finished watching the pilots the networks sent (and they didn't send all of them), but I'm sadly of the belief that that'll be a bar that the frequently pallid new offerings won't be able to clear.
I suppose it's understandable that the broadcast networks have (not for the first time) retreated into competent, unexceptional and inoffensive formulas, caught as they are between a rock and a hard place. As Nielsen-measured...

Yes, "Awake" was canceled by NBC and won't live to see a second season of split realities for Detective Michael Britten (Jason Isaacs), but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy the finale of what's been a truly intriguing season of television.
"Awake" says goodbye to both timelines forever this week with its series finale (Thurs., May 24, 10 p.m. Et on NBC), but not before we get some more action and maybe a few answers -- we've got an exclusive sneak peek at a particularly gruesome scene, above.
Last we saw Britten, he was running from a gun-wielding Det. Ed Hawkins (Kevin Weisman), leaving a trail of blood behind him. Now he's one of the Lapd's most wanted, but he can't keep running to find the answers that will prove his theories until he gets stitched up. Paging Dr. Lee (Bd Wong)!

If you started watching NBC’s Awake and fell off along the way (shame), you may want to tune back in. Last night, the series aired the first hour of its two-part finale. Watch it below. The second and now final hour of the series airs May 24. If you’ve been waiting to see Jason Isaacs’ Det. Michael Britten kick some butt, it’s go time. Some viewers never warmed to the conspiracy-theory aspect of the show — who was behind the car accident that, depending on which of the two realities Britten is awake in, either claimed the life of his wife or his son?...

Tonight, NBC’s Awake begins its two-part series finale. (It concludes May 24.)
In the clip below, we see Bird (Steve Harris), Michael’s partner in the reality where his son is alive, go visit Dr. Evans (Cherry Jones), to ask her if he has a reason to be concerned about Michael (Jason Isaacs).
Michael has called in sick for the last of couple of days and hasn’t returned Bird’s calls. Bird then went to his house and found a collection of police reports about Michael’s accident and files on Det. Ed Hawkins (Kevin Weisman) — who is Bird...
