Angel City

Here’s a true-life sports story Ted Lasso would love. A three-part docuseries (continuing Wednesday and Thursday at the same time) tracks the development and 2022 inaugural season of L.A.’s first pro women’s soccer team, Angel City Football Club. Natalie Portman founded the team with venture capitalist Kara Nortman and gaming entrepreneur Julie Uhrman, luring high-profile investors from the sports world (Billie Jean King, Serena Williams, Mia Hamm) and entertainment (Jennifer Garner, Eva Longoria, America Ferrera). Attendance was high for the first season, but so were the stakes and expectations, as the team and coaches contend with injuries and other challenges in hopes of making it to the playoffs.

Anna Nicole Smith: You Don’t Know Me

Does anyone really know the famous and/or infamous? Anna Nicole Smith, the voluptuous model and actress (born Vickie Lynn Hogan), shot to fame via Playboy and a Guess advertising campaign. But it was her marriage to elderly billionaire J. Howard Marshall that gained her notoriety and landed her in court and in countless tabloid headlines. A documentary from Ursula Macfarlane aims to unpack her controversial and often misunderstood life, with home movies, never-shown footage and interviews with those who claim to have known her best.
