Netflix's new documentary "Operation Varsity Blues" delves deep into the infamous 2019 college admissions scandal, unearthing the intricate operations of Rick Singer, the mastermind behind the scheme. While it may not feature much on prominent figures like Felicity Huffman or Lori Loughlin, it shifts focus to the broader mechanics of how Singer duped the educational system. Through detailed recreations of wiretapped conversations and revealing interviews with journalists, lawyers, and admissions counselors, the documentary dissects the methodology that led to a significant $24 million in bribes, exposing how the privileged were further enabled to capitalize on their status.
Simultaneously, television offers an array of diverse programming to captivate viewers. Aside from the Netflix documentary, the ever-unpredictable "The Masked Singer" promises riveting performances and surprise celebrity reveals like Kermit the Frog, which left the judges awe-struck. Furthermore, CBS's "A Grammy Salute to the Sounds of Change" special celebrates music's profound role in social transformation, featuring artists such as Cynthia Erivo and John Fogerty performing iconic anthems.
