The Holdovers

From director Alexander Payne comes this tale of an unlikely group of miserable people spending the holiday break together. In a Summer School-esque setup, we get Paul Giamatti as a frumpy history teacher at a prestigious New England boarding school dragged into filling in as the faculty member necessary to stay around while the rest of faculty and students return home for the winter holiday. Everyone’s least favorite teacher, Mr. Hunham (Giamatti) is paired with one of the school’s most unruly students (Dominic Sessa), abandoned by his family at the last-minute, and the school’s head cook (Da’Vine Joy Randolph) still grieving the loss of her son.

The third and fourth episodes of Reacher‘s Second Season lead the remaining reunited 110th Special Investigators Unit tracing back their clues to New Age where Swan (Shannon Kook) worked prior to his disappearance.
