Needing tissues and a Masterpiece miniseries is pretty standard at this point. Now they've unveiled a new trailer for Miss Austen. The four-part miniseries is based on the novel by Gill Hornby and follows Cassandra Austen (Keeley Hawes), sister to famous Regency-era author Jane Austen. Cassandra's claim to fame instead is the fact that after Jane died in 1817, it was found out that Cassandra burned some of Jane's letters. Most of the ones that survived remained heavily redacted. Now, in this series,Hawes plays an older Cassandra Austen, heading back to her childhood estate in order to retrieve the letters and eventually commit the deed that shrouded her in infamy. The new trailer takes a much more emotional and dark tone than the previous trailer, released back in January.

Downton Abbey is one of those shows that captured our hearts for a variety of reasons. Now you’ll need to find something just a little similar to the series. After all, there’s nothing quite as good as this British period drama!

The show follows the lives of those who live in Downton Abbey. This includes the upper class owners of the estate and the lower class staff members who work there. One of the great things about the series is that we see how class affects situations, but we also see how the upper class needed to adapt in the 1910s and 1920s or face the loss of everything.

What do you watch when you’ve worked through the seasons and the movies again? Here are five shows like Downton Abbey that you need to give a chance.

Netflix is great. We know this. We subscribe to it even though maybe we complain about the price. We get our money's worth.

But let's be real, the streamer is not the only service we pay money to see. Maybe we have a separate (secret) account for Hulu. We don't tell our friends this, of course. We do not want to cheat on Netflix.

But there are other non-Netflix series to watch of value. The good thing is that our favorite streaming service will likely rule the world one day and all shows ever will be available to us there. We cannot wait until these five are.

New FCC chairman Brendan Carr has ordered the agency to launch an investigation into underwriting sponsorship announcements that air during PBS and NPR programming, suggesting they may cross the line “into prohibited commercial advertisements.”

But in a letter Thursday to the heads of the two networks — first reported by the New York Times — Carr also warned that the public media was facing another congressional battle over federal funding.

Carr, appointed by Donald Trump to his position, said he would be sending a copy of his letter to members of Congress because “I believe this FCC investigation may prove relevant to an ongoing legislative debate. In particular, Congress is actively considering whether to stop requiring taxpayers to subsidize NPR and PBS programming.” He also indicated that he opposed federal funding, given the changes in the media landscape.

The FCC’s enforcement bureau is being asked to open the investigation, Carr wrote,...

Everyone's a critic, art's subjective, and everyone has their own personal favorites, so saying "the best of all time" is relative at best or even pointless. When Rotten Tomatoes applies that label to a film, though, it has a bit more weight, considering it's an aggregate site that usually represents a wide range of critics' opinions. In their list of the 150 Best Sci-Fi Movies of All Time, the absolute essentials, Rotten Tomatoes has placed 2001: A Space Odyssey at the very top.
