While Miep’s work as a secretary for Otto Frank ( Liev Schreiber) plays a large role in the plot of A Small Light, the series finds its emotional anchor in the relationship between Miep and Jan. ![]() Miep, alongside her husband Jan ( Joe Cole), was part of a network of “helpers” who saw the horrors playing out around them and chose not to turn a blind eye. Few people, however, know about the lives of those that helped to protect them for as long as they did, despite unfathomable personal risks. Despite current efforts to remove books about Anne Frank’s short-and tragic-life from curriculums, most people know about the Franks’ time hiding in the annex before the Nazis murdered most of them at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. The eight-episode limited series tells the harrowing true story of Miep Gies ( Bel Powley), who was an ordinary woman who did extraordinary things during World War II. NatGeo may be better known for its nature documentaries and topical specials, but its historical drama A Small Light is undeniably one of the best projects it has produced in recent memory. It may come as a surprise to many readers, but Disney+’s National Geographic hub is the home of one of the best series to debut in 2023. In addition to Brunson and Williams, Abbott Elementary features a cast of all-around excellence in Janelle James, Lisa Ann Walter, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Chris Perfetti, and William Stanford Davis. Season 2 also sees Janine and Gregory ( Tyler James Williams) dance along the edge of their will-they-won’t-they, slow-burn romance, which always keeps us coming back for more. Over the course of Season 2’s 22 episodes, Janine (Brunson) and her fellow teachers fight to keep Abbott from becoming a private charter school all while dealing with hilarious hijinks, chaotic field trips, ever-evolving trends, and heartfelt lessons for (and from) their students. From creator Quinta Brunson, the series follows a group of teachers working at an underserved and underfunded elementary school in a predominantly Black neighborhood in the Philadelphia suburbs. Abbott Elementary has been a smash hit since it first debuted on ABC and Season 2 has only solidified its place as one of the best workplace sitcoms of all time. ![]()
