The biggies
The Last Frontier (Apple TV+, Friday, 12:01 a.m.)
Co-created by The Blacklist‘s Jon Bokenkamp, The Last Frontier centers on a rugged Alaskan town that’s thrown into chaos when a plane transporting prisoners crashes. Tasked with nabbing the escaped inmates, U.S. Marshal Frank Remnick (Jason Clarke) soon discovers that this was no accident. The cast also includes Simone Kessell, Alfre Woodard, Dominic Cooper, and Dallas Goldtooth. Check out The A.V. Club‘s review on Thursday.
Boots (Netflix, Thursday, 3:01 a.m.)
Miles Heizer (13 Reasons Why) leads this coming-of-age dramedy as a closeted young man who joins the Marines with his best friend (played by Liam Oh). Set in the early ’90s, when being gay in the military was illegal, Boots depicts their journeys of self-discovery. Look for an essay on the show next week.
