Review: Amazon Prime s Panic offers standard teens-in-peril fare Panic, streaming on Amazon Prime Video, revolves around a group of Texas teens participating in a series of dangerous dares.

“Panic” is painfully predictable.
In each episode teens attempt some dangerous stunt. Then something goes wrong. Which leads to a cliff-hanger. Then along comes the next episode and nobody’s fallen off the cliff (yet). Repeat. Repeat.
True, there may be some mindless comfort in bingeing such fare. The buzz comes from reliable repetition. And summer is traditionally the time to turn off your brain. “Panic” is for those who’ve disengaged.
Review: Ryan Murphy s Halston runs out of thread early
Ewan McGregor stars in overly familiar rise-and-fall tale of American fashion designer

A small town kid finds success in the big city. His innate brilliance propels him ever higher in the world. Soon he’s over-indulging in bad habits and then over-over-indulging. His talent becomes buried beneath the partying and he eventually crashes and burns.
It’s the most repeated morality play of modern times. How to make it interesting?
Producer Ryan Murphy certainly hasn’t found the answer with “Halston,” a five-part Netflix series that’s so by-the numbers it’s numbing. A game Ewan McGregor plays the famed American fashion designer, who skyrocketed in the 60s and 70s and then plummeted in the 80s, but he can’t compensate for a listless script that offers little insight into the man.

Dive Brief:
California regulators on Thursday voted to approve a financing order giving Pacific Gas & Electric Co. the official go-ahead to securitize $7.5 billion in costs related to wildfires caused by its power lines in 2017.
The securitization would pave the way for PG&E to retire about $6 billion in debt and accelerate final payments to victims of the wildfires, the utility said in its application to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). But consumer advocates, who have raised concerns about the proposal’s impact on ratepayers, are in the process of challenging it.
Regulators usually allow utilities to securitize costs only if the costs are supposed to be the responsibility of ratepayers, said Tom Long, legal director with The Utility Reform Network, “but this one is unique … because this is to securitize costs that are supposed to be paid solely by shareholders.”
