Your Weekend: A Selective Guide

Movies: Many of my friends spend October seeing new horror movies — this week’s offering is “Halloween Ends.” I prefer artsier fare like “Tar” and “Decision To Leave”…TV/Streaming: It’s been a while since PBS has had a good and cozy new mystery series. Let’s hope that “Magpie Murders,” which debuts on October 23rd, fills the bill…I watched one episode of that Jeffrey Dahmer thing on Netflix. I didn’t find it revolting; I didn’t even find it boring…Books: Maggie O’Farrell’s new novel, “The Marriage Portrait,” is as finely etched as her previous fiction, “Hamnet”…Sports: I’m still on a high because my Premier League team is in first place and the Yankees are still in the playoffs.
