Playing with Fyre
No matter how many crummy parties you've experienced, it's unlikely you've attended anything quite as disastrous as the bash featured in "Fyre."

Learning to fly
There have been a lot of TV shows and movies lately about children facing gender-identity issues, but that doesn't make "Butterfly" any less powerful. In this three-part miniseries, which originally aired in England, Anna Friel and Emmet Scanlan play parents who are neither devils or saints as they try to cope with their son's desire to be identified as a girl.
