Also worth seeing: Thriller series ‘Last Thing He Told Me’ gets better as it goes along; Suzume might be the best animated movie of 2023.

Jasmine Cephas Jones is back as Ashley in Season 2 of the Oakland-set “Blindspotting,” which kicks off April 14 on Starz.The Bay Area takes center stage in two series dropping this week, the second season of “Blindspotting” and the Apple TV+ thriller “The Last Thing He Told Me.”

We also have what might be the best animated feature of 2023, and a Michelle Williams performance that deserves Oscar chatter. We even have a cult classic in the making.From summoning up the energy to throw a birthday party for her son Sean in Tilden Regional Park to a challenging 48-hour visit with her husband Miles at San Quentin, Ashley is trying to keep from unraveling.

These are standard questions raised in domestic thrillers such as this one, but don’t give up yet: After the setup, “Last Thing” gets better. Hannah asks her friend Jules , a San Francisco Chronicle reporter, to nose around while she sleuths around with Bailey and uncovers one shock after another. Part of the reason why this perhaps works better than Apple TV+’s erratic “Surface” — also set in the Bay Area — is that Dave steers the ship along with co-creator Josh Singer.

In this slight, occasionally involving bit of sorcery business, two interns land jobs at an enigmatic corporation interested in profiteering from magic. Since the honchos in charge of this fantastical biz happen to be played by Christoph Waltz and Sam Neill, there’s fun afoot, but at nearly two hours, this one just wanders, taking forever to capitalize on that portable door. Even as I write this, “The Portable Door” goes all but poof in my memory banks.
