Why Netflix and Disney Stocks Are Falling Flat in 2021

‘Never Have I Ever’ Season 2

Season 2 of Netflix's "Never Have I Ever" replaced Chrissy Teigen's voiceover with Gigi Hadid's, but might've been better off with none.
‘Sexy Beasts’

Netflix's masked dating series disappoints, failing to recreate the insight or verve of "Love Is Blind" or "The Masked Singer."
‘The End’

Harriet Walter and Frances O'Connor star in this dark comedy airing on Showtime after a run in Australia.
‘Naomi Osaka’

Netflix's "Naomi Osaka" docuseries, from Oscar-nominated director Garrett Bradley, stops short of revealing too much.

‘Old’

Director M. Night Shyamalan turns a day at the beach into a nightmare of aging in this twisty thriller. But are his gimmicks getting old?
‘Snake Eyes’

Henry Golding rules in a sleek ninja-combat thriller that's nothing like a typical G.I. Joe movie.
‘Jolt’

"Hysteria" director Tanya Wexler dials it up a notch with a different sort of electrical stimulation.
‘Gunpowder Milkshake’

Karen Gillan and Lena Headey team up for a neon-drenched, sisterhood-of-assassins action fantasy.

Pop Smoke’s ‘Faith’

The list of guest stars expands substantially on Pop Smoke's "Faith" — from Kanye West to Dua Lipa — but so does his thwarted palette.
Clairo’s ‘Sling’

Clairo's second album "Sling," a collaboration with Jack Antonoff, is a power-pop triumph loaded with vintage sounds evoking the early '70s.
Sault’s ‘Nine’

The British R&B collective Sault has released its fifth innovative, socially conscious album in two years — available for just 99 days.
Lucy Dacus’ ‘Home Video’

"Home Video," the third album from Lucy Dacus, is like a Southern short story collection with an indie-rock soundtrack.

‘Bach & Sons’

A potentially fascinating play about Johann Sebastian Bach is marred by miscasting in Nicholas Hytner's world premiere production.
‘Seven Deadly Sins’

The Meatpacking District's newest unholy attraction tests the limits of how far live theater can go amid a global pandemic.
‘Under Milk Wood’

Michael Sheen leads the cast of "Under Milk Wood," a tender but fitful reimagination of Dylan Thomas' celebrated play.
‘After Life’

Based on Hirokazu Kore-eda's 1998 film, the play explores a fascinating idea, but it never comes alive as a fully-fledged drama.
