'Five Days at Memorial'
Ryan Murphy originally planned to adapt Sheri Fink's book for his "American Crime Story" franchise. Instead, the daunting project fell to John Ridley ("12 Years a Slave") and Carlton Cuse ("Lost"), and the eight-part series couldn't have ended up in better hands. With the help of a stellar cast, which includes Vera Farmiga and Cherry Jones, the writers offer a stark look into how doctors managed — and bungled — one crisis after another in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. It's more devastating than most big-budget disaster flicks — because it really happened. Apple TV+
