October is for horror, which probably means that my monthly roundup of the best new TV should be crawling with ghosts and ghouls. Alas, the recent crop of spooky shows hasn’t done a whole lot for me—maybe because the news has been serving up all the real-life jump-scares my poor heart can take. Instead, I’ve been digging into some all-time great performances from Ethan Hawke and Anya Taylor-Joy, in two of the year’s best historical dramas.
